Olga Zabelinskaya (Fenixs-Colnago) took out the second of today's two stages, finishing solo at the mountain top finish at Grotte de Limousis. Finishing 1'30" up on the bunch, Zabelinskaya moved up to ninth place in the general classification going into the eighth stage.

Early in the seventy kilometer stage Ina Yoko Teutenberg (T-Mobile) attacked with Suzanne de Goede (AA Drink) and the pair opened up a convincing gap on the bunch. By the bottom of the category one climb, they had 2'25" on the bunch with 35km remaining in the race. At the top of the hill they still had 1'30 but with 20km to go Teutenberg learned that her teammates were in trouble behind and dropped back to help leaving De Goede to ride solo.

With 15km to go on a technical descent, Zabelinskaya broke away and managed to solo to the finish, passing De Goede on the final climb and taking the stage win. By the top she was exhausted but told Cyclingnews, "There was so much wind but I felt good. I did the best for this stage," she added. "We wanted to win a stage and if I feel good tomorrow then even better."

Finishing in the first main bunch today was yesterday's time trial winner Priska Doppmann (Univega), who made enough time on Marina Jaunatre to move into the lead by seven seconds. Doppmann and Univega now have the job of protecting the lead going into the next two mountain stages.

"I have a good lead," explained Doppmann. "Of all the girls, I think Amber Neben (Buitenpoort Flexpoint) is the biggest threat. Madeleine [Sandig] is also riding really well but she has been doing so much work."

"Now, I'm just feeling great [in yellow]," she added. "I'm surprised at how well I have been going." As for whether she can defend, Doppmann said. "It hasn't yet been really heart to heart yet so we don't know what's going to happen when it gets really steep. So far it's just been finishing in a big group so you can't really tell how strong you are but yesterday in the time trial I was strong and it was hard so I think that shows that I have good form. I hope I can keep it until Sunday. But it always depends on the teams as to what's going to happen.

Doppmann's teammates have shown that they are strong enough to defend but for now she says, "I'm just happy to be once in the yellow jersey and I will do everything to keep it."
