The revenge of Gougot

He came so close to winning yesterday's stage after being a part of the break that went in the early part, but today Fabrice Gougot (Credit Agricole) made sure of it. This time, he took more riders with him but finished the stage from Chatillon-sur-Chalaronne to Saint-Etienne alone ahead of teammate Jens Voigt and Banesto's César Solaun.

A series of attacks early on did not succeed this time, as the bunch was travelling at approximately 48 km/h for the first hour. However, after an hour and a half, things settled a little and the winning group of nine got away. In addition to the two winners, Laurent Desbiens, and Pascal Chanteur were along for the ride, although they were later dropped as the break hit the climbs. The lead was roughly 4 minutes for quite some time before it inevitably came down over the Col du Fayet and the Col de la Croix de Chaubouret.

It was on this last mountain that the break split completely, with Voigt and Gougot dropping their companions. With 16 kilometres to go, Gougot was on his own, leaving Voigt to take care of the pursuers. Neither were caught, and Gougot crossed on his own, 13 seconds in from of his teammate and 20 seconds in front of the bunch.

Nothing changed significantly in the overall classification, although Christophe Moreau (Festina) and Laurent Brochard (Jean Delatour) (4th & 5th today) look to be honing themsevles for the time trial tomorrow. They will have their work cut out to beat the likes of noted time triallists Zülle, Armstrong, Hamilton, Beloki and Jalabert in the 35.7 kilometres from Saint-Etienne - Saint-Chamond.
