Stage 6 - May 2: Tricots Saint James - Dinan, 153.5 km
Nic White and Laurent Mangel share the honours
By Jean-François Quénet in Dinan
|
Led by his team of SCO Dijon and a particularly efficient Ben Johnson from Australia, Laurent Mangel has won the overall classification of the 38th Ruban Granitier Breton, only one week after claiming another international stage race, the Tour of Nord-Isère. He never panicked when another Australian, Simon Gerrans of U Nantes-Atlantique, attacked him on the last climb, and he confirmed he was the strongest of the race when he crossed the line ahead of the strongest men of the week: Jussi Veikkanen, Charles Guilbert, Cyrille Monnerais, Ian McLeod, Gerrans and David Boucher.
But Mangel wasn't competing for a third stage win. There was one man alone in the front: South Africa's Nicholas White of HSBC. Initially in a group of five riders that went away before reaching the final circuit of Dinan, White went on his own on the first climb in town, with 30 kilometres to go and a very difficult finale: a 1.8 km long hill including 1.1 km at 9%. "I decided to give it all", White said.

With 3 laps to go, he had 34 seconds lead on the counter attack. With one lap to go, his advantage was 55 seconds. "What he did really impressed me because we weren't laughing behind", Mangel commented. White is a true time triallist with a good experience in his basket. Aged 30, he finished 5th in Le Tour de Langkawi in Malaysia this year.
During the Ruban Granitier Breton, he suffered the rain and cold, like any average South African would do in their first race in Europe. But it was fabulous sunshine on the last day. "We came here with the goal of a stage win and never gave up our expectations", White said. "If there was one stage to win, it was this one, the most beautiful with an unbelievable crowd." 15.000 spectators were on the roadsides of Dinan for the thrilling finale of the Ruban Granitier Breton. They appreciated White's effort and Mangel's domination.
