Stage 1 - May 18: Vervins
- Fort-Mahon , 204.5 km
Asmaker takes the opening
stage
Frenchman Olivier Asmaker (CSC-WorldOnline) took his first ever win
as a pro in the first stage of the Tour de Picardie, 204.5 kilometres
between Vervins and Fort-Mahon. He beat his Latvian teammate Arvis Piziks
by 200 metres, with David Millar (Cofidis) coming in as third. There
were 13 riders in the leading group at the finish, with the main peloton
at 2'21.
The decisive break in a very aggressive stage occurred at kilometre
155, when 20 riders got away. Asmaker, Piziks, Nielsen, Mikhailov, McEwen,
Millar, Bassons, Gabrovski, Agnolutto, Balciunas, Leipheimer, White,
Chavanel, Cooke, Landaluze, Auger, Backstedt, Langella, Michaelsen and
Straumann made the selection, although seven of these couldn't keep
the pace until the finish, and dropped back.
28 year old Asmaker was one of the strongest, and attacked three times,
eventually getting away to take the stage by a comfortable margin.
The second of four stages will be disputed between Mers-les-Bains
and Creil, over 171 kilometres.
