53rd Criterium du Dauphiné Libére - 2.HCFrance, June 10-17, 2001Main page Results Previous stage Stage 1 - June 11: Morzine-Avoriaz - Bron, 227 km"Timid" De Waele benefits from Tchmil's leadoutLotto's Fabian de Waele has scored a rare victory in winning stage one of the Dauphiné Libéré in a mass sprint. In a reversal of duties, De Waele was led out by the legendary Andrei Tchmil to beat Damien Nazon (Bonjour) and Glen Magnusson (Domo-Farm Frites). Didier Rous (Bonjour) finished in the main group and kept his leader's jersesy. The 227 kilometre stage from Morzine to Bron was run under warm conditions and a steady pace, controlled by Bonjour who wanted to keep Rous in the blue and yellow leader's jersey. Also with Nazon, they had a good chance in the sprint, and it almost paid off for them. However, with 1 km to go, Tchmil told De Waele to get on his wheel, and the 26 year old obeyed. De Waele came around Nazon with 250m to go to score his third ever career win, after the Japan Cup in 1998 and a stage in Paris-Nice this year. "I am both surprised and delighted," De Waele told reporters after his win. "Andre Tchmil led out the sprint for me. It is something that I would not dare to ask him. He could have gone for it as well." Afterwards, directeur sportif Jos Braeckevelt said that he would definitely put De Waele in the Tour. 30 year old Rous is being told to "slow down" by his team director, and the Bonjour squad will not try too hard to defend the lead. The prime reason is that Rous is looking to ride well in the Tour de France, as he will be team captain. "To keep the jersey was not an obsession, but it was easy. Everything was done so that Damien Nazon could win. He was second. It is stupid." Tomorrow's stage from Bron to Firminy (170 km) is likely to suit the sprinters as well.
