Grande Boucle Féminine Internationale - 2.9.1

France, August 4-18, 2002

Main Page Results Next Stage

Stage 1a - August 4: s'Hertogenbosch - s'Hertogenbosch, 92.9 km

First stage to Rossner

German Petra Rossner (Saturn) has won the first stage of la Grande Boucle féminine, raced over 92.9 kilometres around the Dutch town of 's-Hertogenbosch. Rossner beat Russian sprinter Olga Slioussareva (Itera) and Debby Mansveld (Vlaanderen-T Interim) in a bunch sprint, with local favourite Leontien-Zijlaard van Moorsel (Farm Frites-Hartol) finishing fourth.

In the general classification, both Rossner and Slioussareva are on the same time, due to bonus seconds taken during the stage. However, Rossner will wear the leader's jersey after having won the stage.

This afternoon's second stage will be a 15 kilometre team time trial around 's-Hertogenbosch.

Italian three time LGBF winner Fabiana Luperini was not present at the start, having failed a hematocrit test during the Tour of Trentino. She was suspended for 45 days until August 8, and could not get a special dispensation from the UCI to start in LGBF.
