Martinez increases lead
With four stages left in the Tour de l'Avenir, Euskaltel's Egoi Martinez is looking stronger every day. The race leader finished third in today's tough 137 km stage behind Pierrick Fedrigo (Credit Agricole) and Samuel Dumoulin (Jean Delatour), at the same time putting 43 seconds into his closest rivals.
The sixth stage started in Saint-Flour and took the riders over 137 very hilly kilometres to Mende. Not long after the start, green jersey wearer and dual stage winner Sébastien Chavanel abandoned, one of six riders to do so during the stage.
On the Côte de Faverolles (km 16), Christophe Le Mevel (Credit Agricole) attacked with Nico Sijmens (Vlaanderen) and Samuel Dumoulin (Jean Delatour), and by the top they had a small lead on the bunch. Sylvain Calzati (Barloworld) attempted to bridge up, but was dropped on the next climb, the Côte du Belvédère de Mallet. At the top, Le Mevel and Dumoulin were alone after Sijmens stopped for a mechanical problem, and was caught by the bunch.
More riders bridged up in the next few kilometres, but the gap never grew big enough to escape the bunch. Everyone was caught after 47 km, but the strong Dumoulin immediately counter-attacked and rode away with Freddy Bichot (Barloworld). A group of four chasers formed with Christophe Le Mevel, Tobias Lergard (Swedish National Team), Wim Van Huffel (Vlaanderen), and Maxime Mederel (French National Team). The quartet hovered just over a minute behind the two leaders and 30" in front of the peloton, until the bunch sat up a little and the gap increased to 2'50.
Lergard attacked the chasing group on the Côte de Ribennes (km 96) and caught Bichot and Dumoulin over the top, Meanwhile Egoi Martinez and Pierrick Fedrigo (Credit Agricole) launched themselves out of the peloton in pursuit of the six leaders. They caught Le Mevel on the Côte de Chauvets and Mederel and Van Huffel down the other side, and the five were 50" behind the leading trio with 30 km to go. These five were caught by Ben Day (Carvalhelhos), Pieter Weening (Rabobank), and Nico Sijmens (Vlaanderen), forming a group of eight chasing three.
On the final climb of the Montée du Causse (km 116), the race changed shape again. Martinez and Fedrigo accelerated and caught the three leaders, and that formed the final break. Dumoulin and Martinez attacked with 15 km to go, leaving Fedrigo chasing behind them. He managed to catch them in the final 10 km, then launched an attack in the last kilometre to win the stage. Dumoulin finished second in front of Martinez, who kept the jersey.
