Stage 5b - June 21: Saint-Georges Criterium, 60 km
Davidenko deadly; GC unchanged
By Kristy Scrymgeour
Vassili Davidenko (Navigators) edged out Gord Fraser (Health Net) in tonight's 60km criterium in St-Georges, winning the 6th stage of the Grand Prix Cycliste de Beauce. Davidenko suffered a slow start to his season because of a cold winter and illness, but he has made up for it since, winning multiple sprint finishes in the last few months.
On the fast 1.5 kilometer course among a huge cycling-loving crowd, the race started fast and averaged 45km/h to finish in a time of 1 hour 24 minutes. Many attempted breaks failed because of the speed and the short 200 meter pinch each lap, with Jeff Louder (Navigators) and Andrew Randall (Jet Fuel) only managing to get away for a while before being reeled in by the aggressive pack. 7UP-Maxxis once again spent a lot of their time on the front once in defence of the yellow jersey of John Lieswyn and by the day's end, the field finished together for another bunch sprint.
Eric Wohlberg (Canadian National Team) was dominant at the front working for his teammate Charles Dionne, but it was Davidenko and Navigators who came out on top today winning their third stage on the tour. Behind Davidenko was Fraser with local boy Charles Dionne rounding off the podium in third place.
With the major players all coming home in one big group, there was no change on general classification until tomorrow's crucial final stage, with no doubt another hard day in the saddle for the 7UP-Maxxis team.
