Ravard's revenge in a sprinters' day
By Jean-François Quénet in St-Gildas-de-Rhuys
|
At the end of stage 2, Vendée U's little sprinter Anthony Ravard, 21, was annoyed because he lost 20 minutes. "I initially came here with the aim of a top 10 overall," he said "but I missed the split in the bunch while I was busy fixing my radio." He wanted revenge and it came just 24 hours later.
For 125 kilometres, there was a breakaway up the road. After 40km, 12 men broke clear: Sébastien Talabardon (VC Roubaix) who is a team-mate of current race leader Jussi Veikkanen, Olivier Kaisen (Beveren 2000), Kees Jeurissen (Van Hemert), Thijs Zonneveld (AVC Aix), Pierre Drancourt (Vendée U), Bert Heirewegh (Deschacht), Romain Mary (SCO Dijon), Dimitri Kozontchuk (St-Petersburg), Michael Schweizer (ComNet), Alberto Ceralli (GS Brunero), Luis Bartolomeu (Würth) and Rodolphe Parent (VC Rouen). Four stayed away near the end (Kaisen, Drancourt, Heirewegh and Mary) but got caught with 2 km to go.
The bunch was led for most of the race by Simon Gerrans' team-mates of U Nantes-Atlantique who had missed the break and had no choice but assume the responsibilities for the chase. The runner-up might have lost a lot of energy in this move. Reduced to four men, the local Jean Floc'h team took over near the end to favour their sprinter Jean-Luc Delpech, but Ravard was the fastest on the line.

"It was very difficult because of the rain," Ravard explained. "My fingers were frozen. I wouldn't have sprinted if it wasn't for my team who had faith in me."
Vendée U is the reserve of La Boulangère and that is very likely Ravard's next destination, especially because Jean-René Bernaudeau's pro team suffers the lack of a true sprinter since Damien Nazon's departure to Crédit Agricole. French cycling in general would be happy with a new great sprinter and Ravard looks like being the next one to join the pro ranks for this job.
