74th Critérium International - 2.HC
France, March 26-27, 2005
Stage 1 - March 26: Vouziers - Charleville-Mézières, 187 km
Galvez wins first stage sprint
|
Spanish rider Isaac Galvez (Illes Balears) has won the first stage of the Critérium International in Charleville-Mézières, which finished in a bunch sprint. Galvez looked almost nonplussed as he adjusted his glasses when crossing the line ahead of Erik Zabel (T-Mobile) and Robert Förster (Gerolsteiner), taking his first win of the season after four second places.
How it unfolded
The first stage of the Critérium International started in Vouziers in light sunshine and sub-20 degree temperatures. Frederic Finot (Francaise des Jeux) was the first to attack at km 2.5, and managed to gain a 50 second lead by km 15 as several riders tried to join him, without success. Eventually Denis Robin (Agritubel) and Igor Anton (Euskaltel) set off after him at km 47, and were 1'40 behind, with the peloton lagging at 6'10.
Finot waited for the two pursuers and the three got together at km 58, riding out to a maximum of 11'20. On the côte de Stonne (km 86), Robin attacked to take the points in his quest for the mountains jersey, which he managed to obtain by the end of the day after winning the second climb (Côte de Signy-L'abbaye) at km 158. The peloton picked up the tempo behind, led by Liberty Seguros and T-Mobile, and the gap started to fall quickly. At km 110, the leaders had just 5'00, and they were all caught with 14 km to go, with Robin the last man standing.
|
With 10 km to go, the peloton split into several groups as Didier Rous (Bouygues) lead a breakaway containing Brad McGee (FDJ), David Muñoz (Comunidad Valenciana) and Joost Posthuma (Rabobank). The quartet managed a 20 second lead before the peloton reorganised itself and chased them down with 2 km to go. CSC led out the uphill sprint for Jens Voigt, but the German wasn't quick enough and in the chaos, it was Isaac Galvez who charged up the middle to comfortably hold off Erik Zabel and Robert Forster for the victory.
Tomorrow will see two stages: a hilly 98.5 km stage in the morning between Les Vieilles Forges and Monthermé followed by an 8.3 km time trial in Charleville-Mézières in the afternoon.
