Report:

As predicted, French rider Christophe Moreau (Festina) won the 13th Tour du Poitou Charentes after he was 10/100s seconds quicker in the morning ITT than Englishman Chris Boardman. In the afternoon, the last stage was a short (100 kms) between Neuville-de-Poitou and Vouneuil-sous-Biard, and Estonien sprinter Jaan Kirsipuu (Casino) won the mass sprint. The unfortunate rider of the Tour was Frenchman Jean-Cyril Robin (La Française des Jeux) who held the leader's jersey from stage 1 but lost it in the ITT when he finished 49 seconds behind Christophe Moreau.

Another highlight was the rise of Australian Peter Rogers (Festina) who took out the Under-23 jersey and finished 5th overall at 1.41.

Stage 5, Neuville - Vouneuil/Biard, 104 kms:

AVS: 42.949 km/h
