Prologue - June 10: Morzine-Avoriaz
ITT, 4 km
Rous opens his account
in the Dauphiné
Although team Bonjour were down to just one man in the Giro d'Italia
today, their top rider Didier Rous was doing his best to make amends
as he won the 4 kilometre prologue of the Dauphiné Libéré in Morzine.
Rous clocked 5'28.67 at an average of 43.8 km/h to beat La Francaise
des Jeux' Bradley McGee by just over 1 second, with David Millar (Cofidis)
in third.
In wet conditions, the winner of the Tour de Vendée, Trophée des Grimpeurs
and 4 Days of Dunkirk showed that he is Bonjour's man for the Tour,
taking his 6th win of the season. He also took revenge on McGee, who
he had criticised in the Midi Libre for contesting an intermediate sprint
in the penultimate stage. He attacked after that, but was caught with
2 km to go and lost his chance at winning.
"I lost my reference points in this specialty against the clock, when
my aim was that of a team member," said Rous after his win. "Now, I
applied myself. This week, I will not race too hard. I want to ride
well in July and to win a stage." The incident with McGee was "forgotten"
also.
Brad McGee said that "I rode this time trial 100 percent, but without
taking risks. I thought I was fast enough to win. I must be a little
calmer than in the Midi Libre. This week, my role will be setting up
sprints for Jimmy Casper."
Other important placings were made by Laurent Brochard (Jean Delatour,
5th), Christophe Moreau (Festina, 6th), Iban Mayo (Euskaltel, 7th)
