Laurent Brochard wins GP Villers-CotteretsJean Delatour's Laurent Brochard has won the 11th round of the Coupe de France, the Grand Prix de Villers-Cotterêts, held over a 193.2 kilometre parcours today. Brochard beat Credit Agricole's Stuart O'Grady (also 2nd on Saturday in A Travers de Morbihan) Pascal Chanteur (Festina) and Kazakh Andrei Kivilev (Cofidis) after the four had broken away during the race. During the first lap there was an attempt by Pretot, Chavanel and Templier. Brochard broke free during the second of the 14 laps of the race. O'Grady and Chanteur caught him during the next lap. The lead hovered between 45 seconds and 3 minutes over the next seven laps. It was only 45 seconds at halfway, allowing Kivilev to close the gap strongly on his own. In the closing stages, the gap diminished dangerously with the BigMat team (working for Jay sweet) leading the bunch. From 1'10 with 13 km to go (1 lap) it was 35" with 6 km to go, 11" with 4 km to go and Brochard jumped free with 1300 metres to go, Kivilev , the first of the group behind him 'strangely' (or was he exhausted?) unable to jump his wheel and Brochard won, O'Grady (second time second on the same week-end) outsprinting the two others, keeping 25 metres on the bunch led by Stephan Van Dijk (a crash in the last corner in this bunch). Brochard is also well into the lead in the Coupe de France, which has its next edition in the Classique des Alpes this Saturday. Report courtesy of Daniel Schamps.
