Stage 4 - May 18: Nogent-sur-Oise - Creil ITT, 5.5km
Millar clinches Picardie by 2 seconds
 |
A 5.5 kilometre individual time trial was all it took to give Britain's David Millar (Cofidis) the overall victory in the Tour de Picardie. Millar placed second in the stage which was won by Juan Carlos Dominguez (Phonak), but Millar had started with a 3 second advantage on GC over the Spaniard, thus clinched the final GC by just 2 seconds. It was Millar's first win since his crash in the Criterium International in March, and he looks to be back on track for the Tour de France in July.
This afternoon's time trial was really the decider in the three day tour, although riders have been battling for bonus seconds in the preceding stages. The race leader after this morning's stage was Jeremy Hunt (MBK-Oktos), who lost 36 seconds in the TT to finish 10th overall. Other notable performances also came from English speaking riders: TT specialists Michael Rogers (Quick.Step) and Brad McGee (FDJeux.com) finished third and fourth respectively in the stage, and fifth and third respectively overall. Rogers was beaten on GC by South African Robert Hunter (Rabobank), who placed 5th in the TT.
The only non-finisher in today's stage was Franck Bouyer (Brioches La Boulangère) who crashed during the race and broke his forearm. He was taken to Nantes for an operation.
Dominguez' win today could be important for the Phonak Team, with the final Tour de France wild car selections to be made tomorrow.
