Moreau holds on, Armstrong gets his stage
|
Christophe Moreau claimed overall victory in the Tour on a day when five-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong continued with his preparations for July, winning the final stage of the five day race. Moreau, who won stage 4 ahead of Armstrong's US Postal Service teammate Viatcheslav Ekimov, marked his closest rivals to secure the general classification rather than concerning himself with the final stage win on a climb he normally considers too steep for his capabilities.
"I hadn't completely lost my form, but it's true that it feels good to come back to the top," Moreau commented after his win, referring to his early season troubles following a knee injury in January. "I have a mentality of steel, but there's still room for improvement physically."
For Armstrong, it was mission accomplished as he tested both himself and his US Postal team just over a month before his bid for a sixth Tour de France title.

"I came to win a stage, so I'm satisfied," Armstrong said. "I was disappointed with my legs on Saturday, but things went very well today. I'm also quite satisfied with my team, particularly my new teammate José Azevedo. Yesterday, Eki came close to winning a stage but Christophe Moreau was too strong. Today it was up to me."
Moreau's Crédit Agricole team capped a dominant performance, with three stage wins and four days in the leader's yellow jersey split between Moreau and Thor Hushovd. Hushovd's final prize was the green points jersey.
How it unfolded
|
Early in the stage a break formed on the Col du Rey, the first climb of the day. Six men started the move before dropping two from the group. Daniel Atienza (Cofidis), Anthony Charteau (Brioches La Boulangère), Ryan Cox (Barloworld), Egoi Martinez (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Stéphane Goubert (RAGT Semences-MG Rover) and Oscar Camenzind (Phonak) established the break before Goubert and Martinez lost contact. The remaining four worked together to build a lead which eventually hit six minutes before the peloton reacted.
Race leader Moreau's Crédit Agricole team came to the fore, along with Ag2r-Prévoyance, working for Laurent Brochard, to reel in the escape. A final helping hand from US Postal Service put an end to the move, quickly taking back the last precious seconds before the climb of the Mont St. Clair.

Despite telling Moreau he wasn't feeling well early in the stage, Armstrong decided the moment was his and set off on the attack along with his teammate Azevedo. Martinez, who featured in the break early on, rediscovered his legs and tagged onto the American's move. The peloton was shattered behind as Armstrong ultimately poured on the power to escape alone in the finale, winning ahead of Martinez and a resurgent Brochard.
Moreau, who kept his eyes on Ekimov and Iker Flores (Euskaltel), his closest GC rivals, came in ahead of both, and within 37" of stage winner Armstrong. Ekimov put in another fine day of climbing himself to keep his second place overall ahead of the Basque Flores, helping US Postal to a team prize in addition to Armstrong's stage.
