Buitenpoort plays its cards
Ljungskog takes win and Neben moves into yellow
By Kristy Scrymgeour

With only three riders left on their team this tour after crashes and injury saw three pull out, the Buitenpoort Flexpoint riders showed their cards today, climbing into the yellow jersey and winning the deciding stage of the tour. Defending champion Amber Neben and her teammate Susanne Ljungskog rode away from the bunch on the first Hors Category climb of the day and stayed together all the way to the finish with Ljungskog taking the stage and Neben taking yellow. One stage remains and it's not an easy one, but for now Buitenpoort is in control with Neben a very good chance of keeping the lead to win the tour overall.
"It was tough losing Loes and Sandra and Mirjam," Neben told Cyclingnews after the stage, "But the goal was to get to today with the potential of winning the overall and we were sitting pretty good with the three of us. Madeleine was closest to the yellow and we just went into the stage seeing how things would go today. Susanne and I were ready to go if needed. It just worked out that by setting a hard tempo on that first climb we were able to drop everybody and then go from there."
The course was 98km long starting in the town of Axat in the heart of the Pyrenees and climbing pretty much all day. The first was a shorter category three climb after which the roads rarely went down again at all. The first major climb of the day was a Hors category climb up Col du Caravel which seemed to go forever after which there was a descent and many more tough rollers before the start of the second Hors category climb up to a ski station at Milanes/Donezan. All the way up, names like Basso, Vino and Merckx were painted on the road from a previous edition of the Tour de France.

It was on the first climb that teams started to attack. With big differences in classification from the tough terrain and time trial stages of the first eight days, the attacking needed to start early. T-Mobile and Nurnberger both had team members putting in attacks but the tempo was already high with AA Drink setting out to defend their yellow jersey. At the start of Col Du Caravel, Nurnberger rider Claudia Hauser started to set a very high tempo triggering the climbers to get moving. Within no time the bunch had shattered and Neben and Ljungksog managed to drop everyone except the winner of this stage last year Trixi Worrack (Nurnberger). By the top however she had lost her wheel and she had to fight to get back on over the top.
Worrack chased on the downhill and flatter section and managed to bring back the 50 seconds she had lost on them. "I thought when I came back that I could stay," Worrack told Cyclingnews after the stage, "But they were two and they both had too much energy and when I caught them they went again. They were just better."
Behind, Edita Pucinskaite (Nobili), Priska Doppmann (Univega) and Judith Arndt (T-Mobile) had formed a group, but on the first HC climb Pucinskaite managed to lose them both. Doppmann chased over the top and caught Pucinskaite and stayed with her until the finish. Arndt was behind them but couldn't quite catch them.
"I could see them the whole way," said Arndt, "but it was so windy out there that I couldn't get to them by myself."

With such strong winds as the climbs opened up above tree line, having someone to ride with was a huge benefit and although Neben led the majority of the way on the climbs she said "It felt good just having [Ljungskog] on my wheel on the climb and knowing I had somebody to be with me on the downhill and to give me some relief if I wanted to rest a little bit. We worked together and the plan was for her to win the stage and for me to take the overall."
Ljunskog and Neben arrived at the ski station together, with Ljungskog crossing the line first. Just over a minute later Worrack arrived solo to take third place. Pucinskaite and Doppmann came in to take fourth and fifth repectively and Hauser managed to come past Arndt to take sixth place. The yellow jersey Suzanne De Goede (AA Drink) had a good ride to finish in 14th place but lost 14 minutes on the winner. Neben will go into tomorrow's stage with a 14 second lead on her teammate Ljungskog and 1'25" on Worrack.
Only one day short of taking her second overall win of Tour de l'Aude Neben said. "It's a really good feeling, but there's one more day to go so we'll get through tomorrow. It was a big goal," she added. "I trained hard through the winter basically for this day and this type of ride. You know the two really hard long efforts. It was good. My coach [Dave Jordaan] will be happy.
Tomorrow's final stage starts and finishes in the town of Limoux. For a final stage, it's not an easy one. Out of Limoux, it climbs immediately and is undulating the whole way with a category one and two climb within.
