Stage Review - Stage 7

Stage 7 - a mountain time trial from Naters to Blatten in Switzerland. There were more than a handful of riders concerned that they would meet the time limit for the stage, which was 130% of the winner's time. There were others who were looking forward to the stage, not because they fancied the idea of going uphill 7.6km as quickly as they could, but because instead of a 100km charge through the countryside, they would be finished in less than 45 minutes and able to rest for the remainder of the day.

The weather conditions were kind to most of the riders - not too hot and bright overcast. However, for the final 6 or so riders, the heavens opened in the last 3km and they were drenched through. The rain was heavy and verging on hail, the worst of the rainstorm lasted for 10 minutes and then subsided to a drizzle.

Nicole Braendli (Team Bigla), leader of the race since the prologue time trial proved her fitness and speed by winning this stage in a dominant manner. Over her shoulder, metaphorically speaking, was  Edita Puckinskaite (Nobili Rubinetterie) who finished 53 seconds down. Third was Joane Sommariba (Bizkaia - Panda Software) at 1 minute 2 seconds. 

With Braendli's show of strength, her hold on the 'maglia rosa' has strengthened. She now leads Joane Sommariba by 1 minute 10 seconds. Puckinskaite is lying third at 1 minute 39 seconds.
