Wood scores in bunch sprint

The eighth stage of the women's Giro finished in another bunch sprint, but instead of Olga Slioussareva adding to her total, it was Australian Oenone Wood (Nürnberger Versicherung) who claimed the honours in Fossano. Wood beat yesterday's winner Susanne Ljungskog (Buitenpoort – Flexpoint) and Italian Sigrid Corneo (Nobili Rubinetterie). Swiss Nicole Brändli (Bigla) kept the pink jersey, with just two days to go.
"I knew that this stage was suited to my characteristics," said Wood. "I think that the Giro is between Brändli and Ljungskog."
