Stage 7 - May 20: Arzens to Montreal d’Aude, 121km

Heal soloes to a stage win for Britain

By Kristy Scrymgeour

Rachel Heal (British National Team) took the seventh stage of Tour de l'Aude today when she attacked a break of four and soloed to the finish. Heal's strong performance moves her up in the general classification from 20th to seventh place. She now sits just behind Judith Ardnt (Nurnberger) and 1'43" down on race leader Dede Barry (T-Mobile).

The stage that travelled 121km from Arzens to Montreal d'Aude was considered to be a good day for a break to occur, whilst GC riders would be expected to be saving themselves for tomorrow's climb up Pic du Nore. Sure enough, within the first kilometres of the stage, a break of four had formed that would stay away for the remainder of the race. In the break were Kym Shirley (Nobili Rubineterie-Guerciotti), Chantal Beltman (Ondernemers Van Nature), Cindy Pieters (Vlaanderen T Interim) and Heal. Conditions were windy and hot and the terrain was hard, but the break succeeded in staying away. On the final climb which was also responsible for splitting up the main peloton, Heal attacked the break and was able to open up a very quick gap and solo to victory eventually gaining 2'25" by the finish line. Beltman came in next to take second place followed by Shirley and Pieters. Another 15" back, Angela Brodtka (German National Team) took the sprint for fifth place from the peloton.

The T-Mobile trio of Barry, Kimberly Bruckner and Kristen Armstrong finished safely in the bunch in 21st, 22nd and 23rd position today and hold their places in GC. There was a small split in the bunch between 10th and 11th place coming into the sprint however, with Lyne Bessette (Canadian National Team) and Judith Arndt (Nurnberger) finishing ahead of the split and taking back four valuable seconds to the leaders. Every second will count in the next few days where the tough stages could rearrange the GC once again.

Tomorrow riders face a double day, the second stage being the infamous Pic de Nore. Despite being only a 45km stage, it is primarily all up hill and will be a vital stage for the GC riders.
