Serguei surges past aches and pains in Aix-Les-Bains

Tomorrow comes "the real race"

With the sharp peak of the Dent du Chat outlined above, Russian Serguei Ivanov brought his unlucky and embattled Fassa Bortolo a stage win today in Aix-Les-Bains along the lakefront of Lac De Bourget, jumping away from a three man break to win solo today after a 150km break. Frankly speaking, it's been a bad year for Giancarlo Ferretti's FB squad. After losing Fassa Bortolo leader Francesco Casagrande in the Giro d'Italia to a crash on Stage One, then Frigo's firing later in the Giro during the "casino" in San Remo and Ivan Basso's broken collarbone during Stage 7 that put him out of the Tour, Ivanov's win will help their team morale for the rest of the TDF.

The last time Ivanov rode into Aix-les-Bains, it was in front of the peloton with the TVM team in the infamous 1998 Tour de France. That particular stage was ridden as a protest against the police drug searches, which pale in comparison to the Giro raids. Today's win for Ivanov was also perhaps a redemption after the talented Russian was excluded at Futuroscope, just before last year's Tour De France while a member of the defunct Farm Frites team. "Yes, it's kind of a revenge," he said after the stage. "Last year my Tour ended before it started; we made some mistakes," referring to his high hematocrit level.

This season, Ivanov had a bad crash in Tirreneo-Adriatico which was difficult to come back from. "After my crash, it was hard to come back; I felt terrible and could not finish any races," said the Fassa Bortolo rider."

Ivanov had bridged solo up to Brad McGee (FdJ) and David Etxebarria (Euskaltel-Euskadi). Today seemed like a non-stage until one looks at the parcours and checked the average speed of 46.68 km/h; Stage 9 finished almost 20 minutes before the fastest time schedule.

It started very, very fast and after numerous attacks, McGee and Etxebarria got a gap after 36km and managed to build a 1'20 lead when Ivanov blasted across the gap solo to make it a trio up front. A tailwind and lack of major climbs, plus no real interest in chasing behind allowed McGee and his two companions to gain some time. By Mijoux at 89 km, almost halfway through the stage, the 3 had 2'20" on the peloton, with Momo Agnolutto (AG2r) trying to bridge solo at 1'45".

The time gap continued to increase, but when it hit 7'00, the Bonjour led-peloton settled in for the chase. Up front, McGee and Etxebarria were working hard, but the powerful Russian rouleur Ivanov looked like he was almost playing cat and mouse with the other two. As Telekom had joined Bonjour in the chase, the gap closed quickly. Agnolutto was re-absorbed, and with 10 km to go, the charging peloton was only 1'00 and closing on the front trio.

Ivanov pounced and the rest was history; the man from Chuvashsky made his surge and left Etxebarria and McGee in the dust, but the Aussie-Basque duo still managed to stay ahead of the Zabel-led peloton after a courageous 150 km break.

It was a tough day at the office for Tyler Hamilton (USPS), who came in 171st at 13'25". Reports that Tyler is suffering from tendinitis in his right elbow have not been confirmed from his USPS squad, while the official TDF medical communiqué reports "stomach upsets" for the Man From Marblehead.
