Nicole Cooke sprinted to second spot in the fourth stage of the Tour de l?Aude to Castelnaudary.

A four-woman break featuring Cooke (Vision 1), Marianne Vos (DSB Bank) and two Cervelo riders, Claudia Hausler and Regina Bruin, forged a winning gap of more than two minutes over their seven original breakaway companions to put Bruin in the leader?s yellow jersey.

Briton Emma Pooley remains in the lead of the mountains classification as the ten day tour now moves into the Pyrenees. The next few days' climbs should shake up the overall further still.
