May 21/09 17:00 pm - Tour de l'Aude: Stage 6
Posted by Editoress on 05/21/09
Today's stage 6 was won by Trixi Worrack (Equipe Nurnberger Versicherung) who along with Claudia Hausler and Kristin Armstrong (Cervelo TestTeam) went away at the first climb at 25km. A chase group of 13 containing Amber Neben, Nicole Cooke, Marianne Vos and Race leader Regina Bruins tried to close the gap but were unsuccessful and lost over 6 min to the trio.
Hausler now has the overall lead but Armstrong is just 1:15 down and Worrack is at 1:51. With 3 stages remaining it will be hard for anyone to unseat the top 3 as 4th place is now over 6 min in arrears.
Canadians had a difficult day with the top Canadian rider in the GC Julie Beveridge having 2 crashes within 5 minutes. The 1st was on an uphill and her injury was not serous. The second crash was more serious when she came in contact with a race vehicle. She grazed her hip and then abandoned. She was awarded the ‘malchance’ prize. Joëlle Numainville (ESGL93-GSD Gestion) had an off day, was suffering from sore legs and finished 95th, falling from 39th in GC to 53rd.
