Wüst pounces Zabel for first ever Tour stage win
By Tim Maloney, cyclingnews.com correspondent
 |
It's been a long time coming for Marcel Wüst (Festina), but today, the rapid German sprinter showed that he is still one of the world's fastest sprinters by riding to a brilliant Tour De France stage victory in Vitre. Marcel has won over 100 career races on all 5 continents, including stage wins in the Vuelta d'Espana and Giro d'Italia. Last year, Wüst was scheduled to ride Le Tour, but a crash and a brokreen collarbone in a German criterium a few weeks before the French tour put an end to his hope. Not since Jean Paul Van Poppel won the stage to Boulogne-sue-Mer in '94 has a rider sprinted to victory with the Maillot Pois. Finally Wüst's long-time dream has been realized and the personable sprinter from Cologne certainly has added one of the best palmares in the peloton.
Wüst used his tremendous experience to blast by both Erik Zabel (Telekom) and Tom Steels (Mapei) in the last 100 meters of a very fast final sprint. Wüst, in his last moments wearing the Maillot Pois showed that at even approaching his 33rd birthday (August 6th), he can still sprint with the best and win. Don't miss his upcoming race diary on cyclingnews.com.
On a day that started the day after a tough team time trial, on the cool, windy south coast of Brittany, one might have thought that the TDF peloton might have taken it easy. But it's Le Tour and no one ever seems to take it easy! In fact, despite intermittent showers and a rolling parcours with 2 KOM's in the first 35km, the peloton blasted off from the start with the southwest tailwind, eventually riding the first hour at over 47km/hr.
After a numerous early attacks, Erik Dekker (Rabobank) attacked and got a 42" gap, but Banesto pulled him back after 15kms. Jacky Durand (Lotto) tried his hand a bit later but came back just after 38kms under the chase of La Francaise Des Jeux. O.N.C.E. was riding a strong tempo and kept the race generally under control.

O.N.C.E. slacked off the tempo and the quintet quickly gained ground on the peloton. By the feed zone in Yvignac after 86 km, they reached their maximum advantage of 3m35". This put Voigt in the race lead on the road and after the feed, O.N.C.E. decided to ride hard after the break. The pace was hot with the tailwind, and after 3 hours, the average was 46.3 km/hr.
With 40km to go after the final KOM of the day, Mateos stopped working and the time gap finally started to fall. Eventually Voigt and Dekker, the two motors of the break got tired of fooling around and got a gap on the other three with 25km to race. This German/Dutch duo worked well together and with 20km, they still had a gap of 1'35". But with Telekom, Bonjour and Festina chasing for their sprinters Zabel, Nazon and Wüst, the lead was 32" with 5km to race.
Voigt and Dekker gave it their best shot, but under the inflatable Coca Cola Arch with 1km to go, the peloton was closing in. US Champ Fred Rodriguez (Mapei) hit the front with 700 meters to go and his massive pull finally ended the hopes of the German and the Dutchman as they were caught. Once Rodriguez pulled off, Zanini (Mapei) started his leadout for Points leader Tom Steels (Mapei) down the left side of the 7.5m wide Boulevard de Laval, while Gianmatteo Fagnini and Erik Zabel (Telekom) went right. Zanini started pulling away from a less than brilliant Steels, while Fagnini pulled off too early at 150 meters to go and left Telekom sprinter Zabel alone in the lead with 175 meters to go.

Waiting sharklike just behind Steels was Marcel Wüst. Just as the Festina man passed Fagnini, he saw that the Belgian didn't have his usual speed today. Wüst then saw Zabel out front like a sitting duck and swooped from left to right across the road, from Steels wheel right onto Zabel's and went around his Telekom rival with 50 meters to go, powering to the win by a wheel over Zabel. In doing so, he delivered the first-ever Tour De France stage win for himself and America's Specialized Bicycles. "I saw that Steels wasn't going so fast," Wüst told cyclingnews.com "so I jumped across to Zabel's wheel to win...but it wasn't a gift today!"
