Superman Boasson Hagen wins sprint and takes lead
By Jean-François Quénet in Cancale
|
Most of the professional teams are calling Edvald Boasson Hagen these days, and with good reason: the young Norwegian won stage one in the Tour de Bretagne after coming third in the prologue. This guy knows everything. He can sprint and time trial as well as climb.
"I actually sprint better and better and I like it more and more," he said after beating Tom Veelers from Rabobank who had started from far out and closed the door on the Norwegian with less than 100 metres to go. "I wasn't afraid of that, I gave him a little push myself," Boasson Hagen laughed.
This is Boasson Hagen's fourth win this year. He won the last stage of the Tour of Normandy last month, also in a bunch sprint and may yet follow the path of compatriot Thor Hushovd. In the coming years, Norway could have other reasons to be crazy about cycling when the ski season is over.
Boasson Hagen hails from the region of Lillehammer where the winter Olympics were held in 1994. He started cycling aged 14 as a mountain biker. Now 19 years old, he still doesn't have a great cycling culture, seeing it more as a sport for fun rather than a job.

The decision to postpone his real pro career - several teams including Crédit Agricole, CSC, Quick.Step and T-Mobile among others asked him to join after he won three stages in the Tour de l'Avenir last year - looks to be paying dividends. Boasson Hagen chose to stay for one more year with Maxbo Bianchi, the Continental squad run by Norwegian cycling promoter Birger Hungerholdt.
"I'm happy to lead the Tour de Bretagne," he continued. "I'm just afraid that it might be too early because it means a lot of work for my team to defend it."
Norwegian veteran Gabriel Rasch who won the overall classification of the Rhône-Alpes Isère Tour last week will have to direct the operations. Maxbo-Bianchi looks very strong these days. They had Alexander Kristoff in today's breakaway to avoid any work in front of the bunch and he was even the highest ranked breakaway rider after the prologue.
The Tour de Bretagne is a hard and long race, and Boasson Hagen must be well positioned before the 25km individual time trial scheduled for Monday.
How it unfolded
|
It started very fast from the town of St-Malo which used to be famous for pirates. Four riders took off early: Daniel Kreutzfeld (Odense Energi), Alain van Katwijk (Van Vliet), Alexander Kristoff (Maxbo) and Jos Pronk (Time-Van Hemert). They were soon rejoined by Koji Fukushima (Nippo-Meitan) and René Schild (Sparkasse).
The six riders never got more than one minute on the bunch led by Rabobank, until two more bridged the gap at km 60: Benoît Geoffroy (SCO Dijon) and Maurice Vrijmoed (Van Vliet).
At that moment the peloton took a break, and the difference was 4'30 at km 63. After the brief slowing, Rabobank paced again, making the race hard when they reached the seafront near Mont St-Michel with a tough cross-wind. Fukushima persisted by himself but it was all back together again at km 110.
On the final circuit of Cancale, the Breton paradise for oysters, Olivier Nari (SCO Dijon) and Timo Honstein (Sparkasse) broke clear with 25km to go but the teams of the sprinters didn't allow them to go far.
Tom Veelers (Rabobank) led the sprint out but Edvald Boasson Hagen (Maxbo) passed him just before the line and took the leader's jersey from Lars Boom because of the time bonus.
