Stage 10 - May 23: Limoux to Limoux, 111km

By Kristy Scrymgeour

Angela Brodtka (German National Team) took out today's final stage of Tour de l'Aude today wrapping up one of the most unpredictable tours to date, where the yellow jersey was taken and lost and retaken multiple times and the Nurnberger team coming out on top.

Brodtka has become a reknowned sprinter over the last couple of years and today backed up a very solid nine days of racing with a victory. Covering some very difficult terrain, the stage was one of the most challenging final stages the Tour de l'Aude has seen in quite a few years. Away with Nicole Demars (Canadian National Team) and Loes Gunnewijk (Ondernemers Van Nature), Brodtka took the three person sprint 26" in front of the main peloton. Demars took second with Gunnewijk rounding of the podium to take third.

Trixi Worrack (Nurnberger) finished safely in the bunch to take arguably the biggest result of her career. Her teammate and two time winner of the tour, Judith Ardnt took second place overall with Kimberly Bruckner taking third in the overall general classification.

Olivia Gollan (Australian National Team) took the KOM classification, with Anita Valen (Team S.A.T.S) winning the points jersey after the 11 stages.
