Stage 1: September 28 Paris-Saint-Maurice - Ormes, 187 km

Report

Lithuanian Saulius Ruskys (Gerolsteiner) has put his name on the first stage of Paris-Corrèze today in Ormes. Ruskys was able to catch Lauri Aus (AG2 R Provoyance) in the last few metres of the sprint. Aus had escaped from the leading group of 26 with 4 km to go.

Ruskys is the first ever winner of a stage in the Paris-Corrèze, a new race created by none less than Laurent Fignon, double Tour de France winner.

Norwegian Thor Hushovd came in second, with Australian Scott Sunderland (Fakta) taking third spot.

Even though it was a very nice day in France, the peloton lost over 31 minutes!
