Stage 7a - May 18: Villegly – Villarzel Cabardès, 56.5 km
Wood finally gets her stage
By Kristy Scrymgeour

Oenone Wood took the second victory of her 2006 European season, winning the first of a double stage day in Villarzel Cabardes. A satisfying win for Wood as she told Cyclingnews "I've been trying to win all week, so it's good to finally get one."
It was short stage with two 18km loops out the start town of Villegly and another loop to the finish for a total of 56km. The attacks were fast and furious all day on narrow roads winding through quaint villages and vineyards but nothing stuck until the last 4km when Olivia Gollan took off taking Wood, Joanne Kiesanowski (Univega), Christina Becker (German National Team) and Suzanne De Goede (AA Drink) with her.
With an uphill finish to the sprint, Becker fell off the pace leaving four riders to sprint for the win. Wood edged out Kiesanowski in a photo finish, with Gollan taking third.
"I think I won," said Wood straight after the stage, "but it was so close I'm not sure." Wood added that her team is confident they can go for the overall over the next couple of days. "Trixi finished well in yesterday's time trial so we are in a good position going into the mountains. We'll see what happens."

The GC riders all finished close together in the bunch with no change to the overall. Marina Jaunatre keeps her lead for another stage and was awarded her yellow jersey by local hero Laurent Jalabert.
