Thürig defends her lead as Polikeviciute takes stage
Karin Thürig (Cervélo-Lifeforce Pro Cycling Team) successfully defended her lead in the second to last stage of the Grande Boucle Féminine Internationale with her sixth place today. Rasa Polikeviciute (USC Chirio Forno d'Asolo) took the stage solo ahead of fellow Lithuanian Diana Ziliute (Safi - Pasta Zara Manhattanahead) and the Austrian Christiane Soeder (Cervelo Lifeforce Pro Cycling Team).
The Cervélo-Lifeforce Pro Cycling Team controlled the 103-kilometre long stage through the French Alps and protected Thürig's yellow jersey. Soeder remains second in the overall ranking, 32 seconds behind Thürig. Nicole Cooke (Swift Racing) is in third, 2'33 behind the leader.
The team ranking is led by the Cervélo-Lifeforce Pro Cycling Team by 14.37 over Safi Pasta Zara / Tinanedi.
Tomorrow’s last stage will again be tough. The riders will climb the Col D’Izoard, the Col de Montgenevre before finishing the Grande Boucle Féminine Internationale 2008 atop Sestriere in Italy.
