37th Tour de l'Avenir - 2.5France, August 31-September 9, 2000Main Page Results Previous stage Stage 7 - September 6: Autun - Oyonnax, 199 kmMoncoutié wins, Bodrogi improvesThe seventh stage of the Tour de l'Avenir was the first of the mountain stages although today was more of an introduction to the hills. The 199 kilometre leg from Autun and Oyonnax was won, once more by a small group of four riders, with Cofidis' David Moncoutié taking the honours. In the bunch that was close behind, Hungarian Laszlo Bodrogi (Mapei) finished quite comfortably to hold onto his lead, while the former second placed Frederic Finot (CA) lost over four minutes to drop out of the top 20. The race started aggressively and after just 6 kilometres, an attack went with Sandy Casar, Eddie Lembo, Will Frischkorn, Ricardo Nocentini, Janek Tombak, Ludovic Martin, Marcel Strauss, Jay Sweet and Laurent Chotard. They built a moderate lead of 55 seconds but this wasn't enough, and most were caught at the 50 kilometre point. Tombak, Casar and Chotard continued on and were basically left to wear themselves out, gaining as much as 14'35 by kilometre 120. However, the climbs hit them quite hard and Casar dropped his two companions. with 20 kilometres to go, the gap was just 1'15 and Casar was caught not long afterward. In the closing three kilometres, a grouop of four got away: Moncoutié, Loïc Lamouller (Big Mat), Sven Montgomery (FdJ) and Aitor Kintana (Euskaltel) with Moncoutié beating Lamouller in the sprint. The bunch was led home by Mapei's Luca Paolini.
