Koen's revenge before the time trial
By Jean-François Quénet in Chauvigny
At the Tour de France every year, the French media complains about their compatriots' poor performances, but the Tour de l'Avenir doesn't indicate that a change is on its way. After four days, there is still no stage win for the French riders. Ronny Martias, who is the cousin of world class athletic sprinter Christine Arron, both hailing from Guadeloupe in the Caribbean, failed against flying Dutchman Koen de Kort in the final sprint in Chauvigny.
Seven riders were concerned with the stage win. They were members of a 12 man breakaway that was formed after 45 kilometres in two waves: Anthony Ravard and Martias (Bouygues Telecom), French amateur champion Rémi Pauriol (French national team), Olivier Kaisen (RAGT), De Kort (Liberty Seguros), Mathieu Heijboer (Rabobank), Christian Müller (CSC), Ben Johnson (Agritubel), Julien Mazet (Auber 93), Tom Stubbe (Chocolates Jacques), Tomislav Danculovic (Perutnina Ptuj) and Xabat Ochotorena (Orbea).
None of these guys had made the break the day before. There was a lot of revenge in the air. "All went wrong yesterday and I was very upset," De Kort explained. "Since we lost [Olympic road silver medallist Sergio] Paulinho, it's been difficult to move correctly because the plan was that everyone would work for him in this race. It was pretty hard today, but I was determined to try and go with as many groups as I could after missing the break yesterday. Then I showed that I was really strong today. I'm happy to bring my first pro win to Liberty Seguros. In training before the Tour de l'Avenir, I could feel how much I have improved since I took part in this race with Rabobank one year ago. Doing Pro Tour races can only help to become stronger."
Since there isn't space in the big team for every prodigy of the Rabobank feeder squad, De Kort emigrated to Spain after winning the GP Eddy Merckx with Thomas Dekker in front of no less than pairs formed by Jens Voigt/Bobby Julich, and Michael Rich/Uwe Peschel. De Kort was also the winner of the U23 Paris-Roubaix before turning pro for good.
He's now one of the favourites for the individual time trial scheduled as stage 5 on a pretty flat 22km course in the Poitou area. It will be interesting to see how Bradley Wiggins can go three weeks before the world Championship. Race leader Borut Bozic expects to lose his yellow jersey to the previous leader Lars Ytting Bak.
"At the beginning of today's stage I was a little bit tired after yesterday's efforts in the break," the Slovenian explained. During the first hour of racing my legs were sore and I was happy when a break went away after 45km. We had one rider there (Danculovic) because we want to have some guys well placed on GC at the end. For that, we always want to have one rider in the game. We cannot lead the bunch all day and ruin our ambitions on GC. Kvasina and Danculovic are our GC riders. But some teams here are really strong. CSC is impressive. Other teams as well."
The time trial will clarify the position before the fairly hilly stages coming up later this week.
