Today's 31.2 km individual time trial presented a short but important test for the riders of the Grande Boucle Féminine. Running between Saint-Vallier and Montceau les Mines, the time trial course followed a consistently undulating profile and included one 4th category climb up the Côte de Savignes-les-Mines. To add one more difficulty to the mix, hard rain and bad weather confronted the late starters around the 26km mark.

Despite the soaking, the fastest time of the day went to the ever-powerful Leontien Zijlaard-Van Moorsel (Farm Frites-Hartol), who clocked in at 43'31" at an average speed of 43.02 km/h. "It was incredible. At any rate I have obtained a couple of swimming diplomas," commented the stage winner. "But we should not complain."

Overall race leader, Saturn's Judith Arndt, held her own with a third place time 54.9 seconds behind Van Moorsel, though with her victory today the Farm Frites star moved within 40 seconds of the Maillot Or. In second place was Zinaida Stahurskaia, who came within 25 seconds of the flying Van Moorsel.

As the Alps approach, the time gaps promise plenty of tough racing to come. The top three steps on the podium remain separated by less than two minutes, while tenth place overall, Italian Alessandra Cappellotto of the Mixte Power Plate team, sits only three and a half minutes behind race leader Arndt.
