Race Report

The three escapers left a group of 14 that had been away from 55km to the finish at 40km to go. Christophe Rinero has joined Mutuelle from ForceSud which has gone under for good because it has not replaced the money taken from the bank guarantee to pay riders desite claims of a new sponsor.
