Khazak Andrei Teteriuk won today's third stage time trial in the GP Midi Libre, 19 kilometres around the Montpellier football stadium. The Mercury-Viatel rider clocked 22'26 at an average speed of 50.791 km/h to beat Australian Bradley McGee (FdJ) by 17 seconds, and Gilles Maignan (Ag2r) by 22 seconds. At the same time, he took over the yellow jersey of the overall leader.

At half way, he was five seconds down on McGee, but rode the latter half at a higher pace. "During the Tour of Romandy, I started too slow and that's maybe where I lost the race, so I decided not to lose time at the beginning", Teteriuk said afterwards. "This is my first win as a professional in a time trial but it's not a surprise for me, the winner said. It was a nice route and I knew that I was in form. To win the time trial was my goal here. The surprise is to take the yellow jersey."

With three hard days to go, this looks like a mission. Team directeur Alain Gallopin minimized Mercury-Viatel's chances to keep the lead, after Fabrizio Guidi was a non-starter due to an injury, Geert van Bondt is still doubtful as it is his comeback after his crash in Ghent-Wevelgem, Niklas Axelsson looks OK but the four other team-mates, Jamie Drew, Will Frischkorn, Phil Zajicek and Laurent Chotard don't have a great experience in defending a leader's jersey.

The battle is expected to be hard against riders like Moreau, Montgomery and Jalabert.
