Priska Doppmann (Univega) took out the all important individual time trial in Tour de l'Aude today, taking her second stage of the tour and the third for the team. Her time, which was 59 seconds faster than second place Trixi Worrack (Nurnberger), gives her a very favourable advantage going into the mountain stages of the race.

Last year Doppmann's teammate and time trial specialist Karin Thurig won the time trial by a similar margin, but with Thurig not here this year Doppmann fulfilled that role on a hot and windy day in Southern France. Starting in the town of Arzens, the 31km time trial started straight into a headwind and over lots of rolling terrain before hitting a gradual 7km climb. It traveled over a plateau along the top before descending along a long tailwind section of the course. The last ten kilometers saw many more rollers with a lot of wind before the riders hit the last climb up into the town of Montreal for the finish.

Taking second was former winner of Tour de l'Aude Trixi Worrack, who now sits in fifth place overall, with Madeleine Sandig, who has worn the yellow jersey on two separate occasions already this tour finishing in third place to maintain a high placing on GC. She now sits in third place behind Doppmann, with her teammate, and defending champion of the tour Amber Neben moving up into fourth overall, trailing Doppmann by just under a minute.

Meanwhile still leading the overall tour is Marina Jaunatre (French National Team), who claimed yellow after a 70km breakaway in yesterday's stage. Jaunatre excelled in the time trial today to place 11th, only 2'12" down on Doppmann and retains the yellow jersey by just over two minutes going into tomorrow's double stage day.

With the first ten riders on GC already separated by five minutes, it shows that already the tough terrain of the tour and the three time trials have played a big part, but with the major climbing days to come, anything can happen as we saw last year with the battle for seconds on the final stage.
