Gottfried freed

Once again the hosting nation of the Tour de l'Avenir found someone stronger at the end of the stage. There's still no French win since Sébastien Duret of Bretagne-Jean Floc'h was passed in the final 100 metres by Alexander Gottfried from the German national team today.
The pair were in a group of 19 riders initiated by Française des Jeux after only 8 kilometres. The team of the Madiot brothers was highly represented with Mickaël Delage, Rémi Di Gregorio and Cyrille Monnerais. The other riders away were: French amateur champion Rémi Pauriol (French national team), Sébastien Minard (RAGT), Michael Blanchy and Vytautas Kaupas (Jartazi), Patrick McCarthy (USA), Tony Martin (German national team), Jose Rojas (Liberty Seguros), Cédric Coutouly (Agritubel), Carl Naibo (Bretagne-Jean Floc'h), Julien Mazet (Auber 93), Alexei Kolessov (CAPEC), Steven Caethoven (Chocolates Jacques), Dailos Diaz Armas and Jesus Del Nero (Orbea).
Since Duret and Mazet were five minutes down on GC, the CSC boys of race leader Lars Bak maintained the gap between the break and the bunch at around five minutes. It was a hilly course with a lot of ups and downs, a nice terrain for attacks. The front group split up within the last 30km. Duret was the first man to attack for the win. He was alone away at the top of the last climb but got caught by Gottfried and Kolessov in the finale. Duret also started the sprint from 300 metres. "But I was in a perfect position, behind the two other riders," a shy Gottfried explained. "When I crossed the finishing line, I couldn't believe I was first. It's a very big win for me, I didn't expect it."
Gottfried's best achievement so far a silver medal at the U23 German championship. Aged 20, he hails from Düsseldorf. He describes himself as an all-rounder. He's not exactly the Jens Voigt format: he's only 1.67 metres tall but he's got a lot of ambitions in cycling. "In the next two years, I want to become a member of a UCI ProTour team." He's definitely a man to watch for the future.

There were some fights for the GC as well, although there aren't many changes, apart from Christophe Riblon and William Walker losing 6 seconds to the other contenders Lars Bak, Kai Reus, Assan Bazayev, Denis Kostyuk, Maxime Monfort and a very active Eric Berthou. "I attacked twice, with 5km to go and on the flat section at the entrance of the finishing town," the latter explained. "But Bak was very impressive, especially on the flat. For the hills, he's fortunate to have Andy Schleck always with him."
Bak himself also launched a few attacks at the end. The hardest stage is to come now, around Aurillac with the 2nd category climb of Le Puy-Mary.
It may give a third opportunity in a row to see Di Gregorio in the front. The 20-year old from Française des Jeux now has the polka-dot jersey. "This morning, I said to myself 'Rémi, turn the page'," he said. "I was frustrated to have missed the win yesterday, so I gave myself a new goal with the climbers' competition. I think it's possible for me to keep it. But my chain came off today while I was sprinting for 4th place. I hit the barricades and fell off. It's one more disappointment. I'm also unhappy to have missed the final split but I know I paid for my early attacks today, and my long breakaway yesterday."
Di Gregorio is often presented as the potential new Richard Virenque. Well...he's got his jersey now at least.
