Yellow in trouble

The final sprint

The third stage ended, as expected, in a bunch sprint. Tom Steels was, quite expected, fastest once more. But the real finishing drama was set further back in the peloton.

With less than two kilometres left of the race a couple of riders bumped into each other trying to find positions and Markus Zberg (Rabobank) and some others fell down on the tarmac. Leader David Millar (Cofidis) also fell but luckily landed on top the padding along the roadside. The chain fell off his bike though and it took him some time to get it in order. He lost nine seconds to the front peloton. Luckily for him Lance Armstrong was also in the group that was stopped by the crash so he still held onto his slender four second lead. But the question everybody is asking tonight is where were the other Cofidis riders? No one was obviously behind Millar at this stage when the crash risk is as highest. Had someone given the young Scot a bike, he could have hung onto the front group and even gained on Armstrong.

Chute!

The stage was otherwise marked by Jens Voigt (Crédit Agricole) and Michael Blaudzun (Memorycard) who got their sponsors some valuable hours of exposure. The gap was at most, a little over six minutes, a gap the duo held for quite some distance until the chase started. Cofidis were responsible for chasing, but didn't seem to be too enthused until the were fiven some help by Telekom, Ag2r and Festina. The gap was quite steady at between two and three minues in the latter third of the race, eventually vanishing when the bunch got their acts together.

They were caught with ten kilometres to go after some 125 kilometres on the loose, and it was left to Telekom, Bonjour, Festina, Mapei and Ag2r to finish the job. Mapei did it best again, with Fred Rodiguez and Stefano Zanini riding the last two 'anchor legs' to lead out Steels for a clean sprint win.
