Stage 2 - March 26: Morlaas
- Gourette, 81 km
52 kilos of climbing
power
Italian rider, Leonardo Piepoli from the Banesto team battled snow
and high mountains to win the second stage of the Criterium International
today. The 81 kilometre stage finished at the Pyrenean ski station of
Gourette on the slopes of the Col du Aubisque, at an altitude of 1346
metres.
Close behind Piepoli was Telekom's leader for this race, Alexandre
Vinokourov, who trailed the Italian by four seconds. Then, a group of
three containing Massimiliano Lelli (Cofidis), Abraham Olano (ONCE),
and Juan Carlos Dominguez (Vitalicio Seguros). Although Piepoli gained
the leader's jersey, it will be an interesting tussle in this afternoon's
11.5 kilometre time trial between him, Olano, Vinokourov and Vaughters
(Credit Agricole) who is not that far behind.
On the climb of the Aubisque, last year's winner, Jens Voigt (Credit
Agricole) attacked with Telekom's Jorg Jaksche with nine kilometres
to go. Although Voigt was caught before too long, Jaksche managed to
hold on until five kilometres to go. However, the climbers were relentless
and Vinokourov succeeded in taking a small group with him away from
Olano.
Frenchman Laurent Brochard attacked with 4 kilometres to go, but blew
shortly after and finished 1.08 down at the end. Jonathan Vaughters
was the next to attack with just two kilometres to go, but again he
was caught by Piepoli and Vino. The win went to 28 year old Piepoli,
who is a Swiss born Italian climbing specialist. He weighs just 52 kilograms
and at 1.72 m tall is perfectly built for going up. He will head Banesto's
Giro challenge this year.
