38th Tour de l'Avenir - 2.5France, September 6-15, 2001Main Page Results Previous stage Stage 2 - September 7: Rénazé - Orgères-en-Beauce, 220 kmNazon wins stage, takes leadFrancaise des Jeux sprinter Jean-Patrick Nazon has become the third sprinter this week (after Kirsipuu and Petacchi in Poland) to win a stage in a breakaway. Nazon easily accounted for Colpack's Alessandro Cortinovis at the end of the 220 kilometre stage 2 from Rénazé to Orgères-en-Beauce, and took over the leader's jersey in the process. The first attacker of today's long stage was BigMat's Benjamin Levecot, who went after 34 kilometres, quickly building a 3'15 lead by kilometre 45. However, his directeur sportif told him to sit up as it was a suicidal break, and he was caught at kilometre 68. Shortly afterwards, Jean Patrick Nazon took the first of the sprint bonifications at Parcé-sur-Sarthe (km 71), giving him the virtual lead in the race after he finished third in yesterday's stage. After this, things settled down for the next 100 kilometres, with the only climb of the day (Côte de Saint-Calais at 157.50 km) being won by Graziano Gasparre (Mapei-Quick Step) with teammate and mountains leader Kevin Hulsmans taking second. Over the top of this climb, the peloton separated with a group of 27 riders, but yellow jersey Alexandre Usov told his Phonak team to chase, and they closed it down by kilometre 167. Festina's Florent Brard was next to attack, and he took Médéric Clain (Cofidis), Benoît Poilvet (Credit Agricole), Sylvain Chavanel (Bonjour) and Ivailo Gabrowski (Jean Delatour) with him. The five were considered dangerous, and stayed away until kilometre 190. Then came the decisive attack of the day, with Nazon and Cortinovis going clear at kilometre 196. Usov attempted to chase, but he was too late and the gap grew to a minute at the finish. In the sprint, Nazon was far too quick for Cortinovis, and took the stage easily, with Eddy Lembo (Jean Delatour) coming in solo for third sport.
