Stage 2 - May 20: Port-Leucate - Narbonne, 188 km
Different stage, same result
|
In a fairly rare occurrence in professional road cycling, Stage 2 of the Tour du Languedoc-Roussillon produced an identical podium to the first stage. Thor Hushovd (Credit Agricole) sprinted to the victory wearing the yellow jersey, while Samuel Dumoulin (Ag2r) and Jerome Pineau (Brioches la Boulangère) finished second and third again. These three thus remained as the top three on the general classification.
The second stage between Port-Leucate and Narbonne over 188 km was in some respects similar to yesterday's first stage. Three Cat. 3 climbs and one Cat. 2 were faced by the riders, although the final 64 km was either downhill or flat this time. The day's first attacker was again a Frenchman: Christophe Edaleine (Cofidis) jumped clear at kilometre 4 and was joined by Brioches la Boulangère's Anthony Charteau. After 20 km, the pair led by 5 minutes and became the break of the day.
|
Edaleine and Charteau worked well together and on the Cat. 2 Grau de Maury (km 82) their lead was still 3'55, with Credit Agricole working on the front of the bunch. The pair were able to extend this out to 6'10 at the foot of the Col du Prat (km 104) but that was as much as they were allowed. On the final climb, the Col de Villerouge (km 114), Charteau won the sprint for the mountain points ahead of Edaleine while mountains leader Walter Beneteau (Brioches la Boulangère) took third place, thus keeping his jersey.
|
The chase was taken up by US Postal-Berry Floor, working for Lance Armstrong, and with 28 km to go, the two leaders had just on a minute. The speed increased and the break was quickly caught, while the peloton started to splinter as well. 51 riders remained in the front bunch, including Hushovd, Dumoulin and Pineau, and the stage finished in a mass sprint in Narbonne. Hushovd jumped with 250m to go and was not able to be passed by Dumoulin or Pineau, who ended up in the same positions as they finished yesterday.
Stage 3 of the Tour du Languedoc-Roussillon is from Ganges Aigues-Mortes over 162 km and contains only two Cat. 3 climbs. It should be another one suited to Hushovd, who could accumulate some more bonus seconds as a buffer against the hillier stages on the weekend. But he might need more than that.
