37th Tour de l'Avenir - 2.5France, August 31-September 9, 2000Main Page Results Previous stage Stage 9 - September 8: Le Grand Bornand - Ville-la-Grand, 175 kmFlores takes the stage and the leadWith just one stage to come in the Tour de l'Avenir, a Spaniard has yet again taken control of the race as they did last year. Euskaltel's Iker Flores won the 9th stage from Le Grand Bornand to Ville-la-Grand and pulled the leader's jersey from the shoulders of David Moncoutie (Cofidis). Tomorrow should see Flores retain it, as the 120 kilometres around Annemasse will not present and major difficulties. Flores made his move today after he attacked a group of 10 that included Moncoutié on the Col de la Joux-Plane, the stage's main obstacle. Flores took 2'15 out of the bunch in 6 kilometres of climbing, but this was later reduced to 50 seconds. Flores had to time trial the last 25 kilometres, but was aided by the fact that Moncoutie only had one other teammate (Thierry Loder) with him. He finished with an overall lead of 45 seconds to the Frenchman
