Stage 20 - July 22: Belfort - Troyes, 254.5 km
Longest stage sees 'regulation' Zabel sprint
By Jeff Jones, online editor
 |
Although Le Tour 2000 is on its second last leg (so to speak), today's hurdle from the ancient French town of Belfort to Troyes was actually the longest of the race at 254.5 kilometres. It was conducted into a gentle headwind, with pleasant 24 degree temperatures accompanying the riders on their last serious road stage before the Paris finale.
For once, there were no lunatic first kilometre attacks, as the bunch at last decided to stick together and ride at a sensible speed for the best part of three hours. Everyone wanted to get to Paris tomorrow, but unfortunately not all of the 129 riders made it. After 63 kilometres, there was a fall involving Michael Boogerd, Jose Maria Jimenez, Bart Voskamp and Simone Borgheresi. Three of the four riders regained the peloton, but Boogerd was not so lucky and had to retire from the race. A bitter blow for the Dutchman who has been ill for the last few days but was still in 19th position overall.
 |
The day's only serious attack came from 'local' Troyes boy, Francois Simon (Bonjour), who took Sebastien Hinault (CA) and Pole Grégorz Gwiadowski (FdJ) with him after 136 kilometres. The trio gained a maximum advantage of 4'10 before the inevitable chase came from a fired up peloton.
With regulation sprint victories few and far between this year, the teams with decent sprinters left in Le Tour - Polti (Blijlevens), Farm Frites (McEwen) and Telekom (Zabel) were looking to set things up for a long leadout via the many roundabouts and curves into Troyes. Francois Simon though was not to be outdone - the break was doomed from 50 kilometres out, but somehow Simon managed to hold on to his advantage with all but 2 kilometres to go, when the Heppner-led Telekom train finally caught him.
Zabel's job on the final uphill finish was to keep his nose in front, and he did just that despite a strong attempt by McEwen and Blijlevens to steal his thunder. The two crossed in that order but it needed a photo finish to split them.
With the final parade tomorrow, the sprint should suit both McEwen and Blijlevens a little more, as it is flat and fast. Look for an exciting finale to the 87th Tour de France as 128 likely riders strut their stuff around the Champs Elysees on Sunday July 23. Lance's second Tour victory will finally come to pass and he and Ullrich can lay off each other until the Olympics.
