52nd Criterium du Dauphiné Libére - 2.HCFrance, June 4 - 11, 2000Main Page Results Previous stageStage 1 - June 5: Grenoble - Lyon, 189 kmLong break succeeds in stage oneLa Francaise des Jeux's Frédéric Guesdon became the first road stage winner of this year's Duaphiné after he triumphed in stage 1, 189 kilometres from Grenoble to Lyon. He was part of a five man group that escaped less than an hour into the race who managed to hold off the bunch - just. The attackers were Fabrice Gougot (Credit Agricole), Arturas Kasputis (Ag2R Prevoyance), Alexei Sivakov (Bigmat Auber 93), David Lefevre (Cofidis) and Guesdon. They very quickly gained a minute on the field who were not travelling above 40 km/h for the first two hours. In contrast, the break averaged 46 km/h for the next hour, and they were able to extend their lead to 6 minutes with 60 kilometres to go. The bunch, driven by Euskaltel who were trying to keep Alberto Lopez De Munain in the lead, started to reduce the gap, and with 16 kilometres to go it was down to 2 minutes. An attack by Gougot on a small rise close to the finish put paid to Lefevre, and he has absorbed by the bunch. With 2 kilometres to go, the leaders had 37 seconds - just enough for Guesdon to hold off Gougot, Sivakov and the bunch. ONCE's David Etxebarria won the bunch sprint for 4th, just nipping the last of the breakaway, Arturas Kasputis (Ag2r). Afterwards, Guesdon thanked his breakaway companions but also the bunch for not chasing them down. "They decided in fact whether we would make to the finish or not," he commented. Alberto Lopez de Munain did not lose any significant time and will keep his jersey going into tomorrow's 210 kilometre stage from Châtillon-on-Chalaronne to Saint-Etienne.
