Triple Dekker

Erik Dekker made his first attack in the first kilometre today. 203 kms later he rolled over the line as a winner, and also the new keeper of the polka dot jersey after he won all four mountain primes. That was actually his goal for the day, and he also tops the combativity classification. Three feats in one day!
"I decided last night to try for the polka dot jersey since I had some points before," he said after the race. To win a stage was dreamlike: "I have had a tough season, I broke my arm during the Paris-Nice, so it is really unbelievable that I won today." He started the day with an attack in the first kilometre and was quite soon accompanied by 17 other riders, among them polka dot Paolo Bettini (Mapei) who was anxious to defend his climber's jersey. "There were too many riders high in the GC in that group so they caught us," Dekker explained.

After this attempt several attacks came, the decisive just before the day's first sprint in Lanouaille after 49 kolometres when Radaelli (Vini Caldirola), Dario Pieri (Saeco), Massimiliano Mori (Saeco) and Dekker's Rabobank team mate Jan Boven slipped away. However, they kept going after the sprint (won by Radaelli) and ten riders took up the chase, Dekker was among them and so was Voigt, leading the combativity classification. Another huge group tried to bridge but was reeled in. Speed was high, 49.1 kph in the first hour. Fred Rodriguez (Mapei) attacked from the peloton at 80 kms and was joined by Sandstöd (Memorycard) and Maignan (Ag2R). The trio had a tough job. It took them 35 kms to finally bridge while the peloton didn't bother. The gap from the leaders to the main bunch rose to more than ten minutes. US Postal, Mercatone Uno and later Kelme did most of the job back there.

Dane Nicolai Bo Larsen was the first to try for a split in the leading group with 40 kms to go. Bart Voskamp tried next but it was Dekker that finally managed to get away with 25 kms left of the stage. The group had by this time shrunk. Finally six riders were chasing, or rather attacking each other, so Dekker could hammer on at an even pace and put seconds between him and the followers (not chasers). Didier Rous was the most active in the sextet but it was finally Xavier Jan that got away to be second, 52 seconds behind Erik Dekker.
