Stage 3 - April 6: Chateauneuf-sur-Sarthe - Saint-Cosme-en-Vairais,
196.9 km
It's becoming a habit
Festina's Marcel Wüst seems to have found his legs in the Circuit
de la Sarthe, winning his third consecutive stage today, 196 kilometres
from Châteauneuf-sur-Sarthe and Saint-Cosme-en-Vairais. Another bunch
sprint saw Wüst again triumph over Big Mat's Jeremy Hunt, second place
getter on stage one, with Giovanni Lombardi from Telekom in third.
Wüst's team had to work for it though, as they had to chase down a
long escape by Australia's Scott McGrory (Gerolsteiner) and Frenchman
Guillaume Auger (Big Mat). The two gained up to 10:40 in their 148 kilometre
breakaway, but were chased down by Festina, with help from Credit Agricole
and Jean Delatour.
On finishing circuit, British rider Charly Wegelius attacked, taking
French riders: Frnacis Moreau (Cofidis), Ludovic Turpin (AG2R) and Bruno
Thibout (Cofidis), with him. It was unsuccessful, as the pressure was
kept up by Festina and Jean Delatour. Laurent Brochard attempted to
steal some time as well in the last kilometre, but there was no way
that he would be allowed to go.
The bunch sprint was won in more dominant fashion by Wüst, over Hunt
and Lombardi, with Gerolsteiner's Wolker Ordowski in fourth.
Tomorrow's final day sees the field contest a 23.3 kilometre individual
time trial starting and finishing in Durtal in the morning, with a 99.6
kilometre stage from Durtal to Sablé, to finish in the afternoon.
