38th Tour de l'Avenir - 2.5France, September 6-15, 2001Main Page Results Previous stage Stage 5 - September 10: Mardeuil - Ancerville, 198 km
Cuenca moves into the leadJuan Miguel Cuenca (Kelme) has won the fifth stage of the Tour de l'Avenir that finished in Ancerville. He crossed in front of Anthony Geslin (Bonjour), and Christophe Le Mevel (Credit Agricole), his two breakaway companions, with the peloton coming in at 1'26 led by Mercury's Baden Cooke. Cuenca's advantage meant that he took over from Jean-Patrick Nazon in the general classification. Today's rather wet stage was not as aggressive as the previous four days. After 15 kilometres, Constantino Zaballa (Kelme) attacked, with only Andy Flickinger (Festina) going with him. However, he could not (or would not) hold out for long, and was caught after 36 kilometres. Robert Sassone (Cofidis), Guillaume Auger (Big Mat), Geoffrey Demeyere (Vlaanderen) and Ciaran Power (St Quentin) tried after 53 kilometres, but they were caught after just 9 kilometres in the lead. Finally, Cuenca, Geslin and Le Mevel broke free shortly afterwards, and that turned out to be the winning move. The trio built up a lead of 12'20 after 107 kilometres before a chase was started by Française des Jeux, Mapei-Quick Step, Euskaltel-Euskadi, iBanesto.com and Jean Delatour. The gap quickly came down, but there weren't enough kilometres left for the three to come back. The first time across the finish line with 17 km to go they still had 4'40, and this was more than enough to hold off the bunch.
