Arenda Grimberg Claims Stage Nine - Saturn's Arndt retains Yellow
It took only 15km for a substantial break to form in today's stage, with seven riders working together to put more than eight minutes into the main group.
The combination of stage 8's mountains, and that none of the break away members were less than 25 minutes down on GC, meant that once they established their lead the peloton seemed to accept the loss and not chase too hard.
Within the main group, Saturn Team tried to maintain control and hold off any other potential break aways that might put Arndt's leader's jersey in trouble. Over the 114km of road, Arndt's team managed to stay in front and force a bunch finish for the peloton, maintaining the team's control of the GC as they enter tomorrow's final stage.
Saturn's position meant that all of today's best action was inside the break away group, consisting of Sandra Rombouts (Nuremberg), Elena Tchalykh (Itera team), Modesta Vzesniauskaite (Lithuania), Liz Tadich (Aus), Sonia Huguet (Fra), Olga Khortova (Petrogradets), and Arenda Grimberg (Farmfrites).
When the 10km to go mark hit the riders began their climb of "côte de Saint Hilaire". The group work of the break riders was put aside, and each began plays for taking the stage.
A successful push by Grimberg put her infront of the bunch for a sprint to the line, taking the first Farmfrites stage of the tour. Hotly contested second was claimed by Australian rider Liz Tadich.
