Stage 9 - September 12: Rousset-sur-Arc - Solliès-Ville, 120 km
Dumoulin close but Gilbert takes it
The ever consistent Samuel Dumoulin (Jean Delatour) came close to winning his second stage of the Tour de l'Avenir, but was pipped at the post today by Belgian Philippe Gilbert (FDJeux.com). The pair finished three seconds in front of the race leader Egoi Martinez (Euskaltel), who looks certain to win the overall when the tour finishes tomorrow.
The 199 km stage between Rousset-sur-Arc and Solliès-Ville was cut short to 120 km due to recent forest fires near the route. An aggressive start saw David Breard and Camille Bouquet (French National Team) and Yuri Krivstov (Jean Delatour) escape after just 6 km, steadily building up a lead that reached 4'10 by halfway. However the peloton reacted, with Euskaltel-Euskadi setting a strong tempo to bring back the trio to two minutes with 30 km to go.
Credit Agricole helped to reduce the gap even further, but Krivstov decided to attack with 18 km to go and still had a lead of 1'05 over the peloton with 10 km left. Euskaltel finished off the job and brought race leader Egoi Martinez to the foot of the steep 2 km climb of Solliès-Ville. By the top of the climb, Martinez was still there but was beaten by a strong Philippe Gilbert and Samuel Dumoulin.
The Tour de l'Avenir will finish tomorrow with a 128 km stage around La Crau.
