Stage 2 - September 5: Bonneval - Sassay, 147 km
Wiggins holds lead as younger Chavanel wins
Brad Wiggins (FDJeux.com) has kept hold of the leader's jersey in the Tour de l'Avenir after the second stage between Bonneval and Sassay. The 147 leg was won by Sébastien Chavanel, who finished in front of teammate Jimmy Engoulvent and FDJeux.com's Philippe Gilbert in a bunch sprint. Wiggins finished 37th and did not lose any time.
The 129 rider peloton left Bonneval without American Tom Danielson, who was the only non-starter today. The race started fairly calmly until Kazakh Andrey Medyannikov attacked after 19 kilometres. He won the first bonus sprint in Machenoir (47.5 km) with a 2'50 advantage over the peloton. He increased this to 3'30 by the second sprint, and then 4'05 at the third sprint in Contres (km 103.5).
That was the most Medyannikov could gain as the peloton started to become anxious and picked up the pace. with 35 km to go the gap was down to 1'50, and the Kazakh was eventually caught on the last finishing circuit around Sassay, with FDJeux.com and Brioches doing the bulk of the chasing.
Brioches kept the tempo up on the final lap, and was able to provide the best leadout for Chavanel and Engoulvent, who took first and second in the stage. FDJeux.com had to be content with third with Philippe Gilbert crossing the line behind the two red clad Frenchmen.
Tomorrow's stage takes the riders from Sassay to Aigurande over 171 km with a gradual uphill finish.
