Stage 1 - August 31:
Ancenis - Ancenis, 159 km
Paolini takes the first
The opening stage of the Tour de l'Avenir was a 159 kilometre leg
starting and finishing in Ancenis. At the end of the day, Mapei's Luca
Paolini was the quickest in the bunch sprint ahead of Jean-Patrick Nazon
(FdJ) with Australian Baden Cooke (Manheim-Mercury) third.
The circuit had two climbs today (Cote de Champtoceaux and the cote
de Drain), but was not altogther suited for a long break to succeed.
At kilometre 47, three riders tried to escape: Jay Sweet (Big Mat),
Sylvain Chavanel (Bonjour) and Dimitri Fofonov (Besson). They managed
5'15 maximum lead by km 94 before their gap started to come down. They
were finally caught with 10 kilometres to go as the bunch wound things
up for a sprint.
