Dekker stays upright to win first stage
|
Erik Dekker (Rabobank) has beaten Ivan Basso (CSC) and Andriy Grivko (Milram) to win the first stage of the Critérium International in Charleville-Mezieres. It was a close finish in wet conditions, and Dekker was fortunate not to crash when the fourth member of the break, Igor Astarloa, went down in the last kilometre.
How it unfolded
|
Just before the Côte de Stonne (km 37), a group of 17 riders got clear, thinning down somewhat over the climb. David Lopez Garcia (Euskaltel-Euskadi) took the points at the top, ahead of Alexandre Moos (Phonak), and David Munoz (Comunidad Valenciana). Jens Voigt (CSC), Constantino Zaballa and Vladimir Efimkin (Caisse d'Epargne), Christophe Le Mevel (Credit Agricole), Sylvain Calzati (AG2R), Kim Kirchen (T-Mobile), and Antonio Olmo (Comunidad Valenciana) were all in the mix too.
At the sprint at Chesne (km 51), Voigt took the points ahead of Zaballa and Calzati. He did it again at Vouziers (km 68) ahead of Zaballa and Efimkin, with the peloton still just 1'00 behind. Le Mevel, Efimkin and Lopez Garcia attacked after the sprint, as the others were reabsorbed by the bunch. After 100 km, the three had 2'45, with Efimkin taking the points at Château Portien (km 110). But 9 km later, they were caught by the bunch driven by CSC and Rabobank.
A group of 30 split off the front containing most of the favourites, including Floyd Landis (Phonak), Ivan Basso, Bobby Julich, Frank Schleck and Jens Voigt (CSC), Erik Dekker (Rabobank), Paco Mancebo (AG2R), Gutierrez and Zaballa (Caisse d'Epargne), McGee (FDJ), and Igor Astarloa (Barloworld). The group built up a minute's lead, but Phonak's plans turned upside down when Landis crashed with 43 km to go, and ended up back in the peloton.
|
The lead group began to thin down over the final climbs, with it reducing to nine, then just four riders: Dekker, Astarloa, Basso and Grivko. The group had a 15 second advantage over the rest of the break with 3 km to go, but disaster struck Astarloa when he crashed inside the final kilometre. Dekker, the experienced master, was able to beat Basso and Grivko in the sprint, with the next group coming in at 10 seconds, led by José Ivan Gutierrez (Caisse d'Epargne). The main peloton finished at 1'32, so it looks like the final overall classification will be fought out between the top nine in the stage, who are all within 20 seconds of each other on GC.
