Spanish cyclist Joane Somarriba (Alfa Lum) has regained the leader's jersey in La Grande Boucle, with a sterling performance to win the stage 10 time trial from Saint-Galmier to Rive-de-Gier. Somarriba rode the distance in 1:08:39, just 4 seconds quicker than French veteran Jeannie Longo (Swam-Slovakia) and 44 seconds better than German TT specialist Judith Arndt (Junkers-Noja). Former race leader Rasa Polikeviciute finished 11th, losing 4'40 to the stronger Spaniard, and plummeted to 7th on the general classification.

Longo's time moved her up to second on GC, 2'41 behind Somarriba, with Bielorussian World Champion Zinaida Stahurskaia 3rd at 2'57. Longo was actually trailing Somarriba by 47 seconds at the côte de Saint-Héand time check, but finished more strongly.

Although Somarriba's Alfa Lum team will likely face a number of attacks in the remaining four stages, she is now in a much better position to defend it, as the end is close. There is still another significant mountain stage to come on Saturday, and that will decide the final classification.
