The Tour of Luxembourg is one of several important events in June for Tour de France preparation, and 11 of the 19 teams entered will ride the Tour. Amica Chips gained a success today in the first stage, 181 kilometres from Luxembourg to Dippach. Italian Filippo Simeoni crossed the line clear of Alberto Elli (Telekom) and Henk Vogels (Manheim-Mercury), riding for the first time in their new jersey.

The stage was animated by a long attack from Jacky Durand (Lotto), who lasted 114 kilometres by himself before being caught in the finishing laps. There were five of these in the town of Dippach, and on the first one, Elli, Vogels, Simeoni and Dierckxsens (Lampre) went clear. Vogels attacked to take the first time bonus, and Dierckxsens was dropped. The three then established a 2.45 gap to the bunch, before being chased mainly by Fassa Bortolo, Luxembourg and Memorycard.

On the last lap, Vogels and Elli were attacked by Simeoni, and Vogels was forced to chase but in vain. Simeoni held them both off to win by seven seconds, with the bunch another minute and a half behind.
