Stage 6

Cornaredo - Cornaredo, 132.3 km

Race Writeup

Although sunny again, there was slightly less heat for the riders to contend with during their 9 laps of a 14.3km circuit. The stage, which took place just outside of Milan, was flat, but contained some tight twists and turns on the circuit which included town and country roads. The day had started early for 62 of the riders, with anti-doping tests carried out again on the Giro Donne. All riders were deemed fit to start.

An early break containing riders from Menikini Gysko, T-Mobile and SAFI lasted for a couple of laps, but was never expected to stay away. A more dangerous attack went at around mid-stage, it contained Adrie Visser (DSB Bank), Ina-Yoko Teutenberg (T-Mobile), Bettina Kuhn (Team Bigla) and Luisa Tamanini (SAFI). Aggressive chases from Menikini Gysko and Raleigh Lifeforce Creation were finally successful in bringing back the break in the closing kilometres.

A crash with 2km to go brought down Alessandra D’Ettorre (Saccarelli Emu and Jamaican Champion, Iona Winter (Colavita Sutter), as well as DSB Bank's Belgian Champion, Ludivine Henrion.

Judith Arndt (T-Mobile) outsprinted Giorgia Bronzini (SAFI), Rochelle Gilmore (Menikini Gysko) and Marianne Vos (DSB Bank) to win the stage. Edita Puckinskaite (Nürnberger) finished safely in the bunch to retain the race lead. In fact, none of the competition leads changed : Linda Villumsen stayed in the young rider's competition white jersey, Marianne Vos retained the points lead. Svetlana Bubnenkova keeps the mountains competition lead.
