Pronk wins stage
Boasson Hagen stays on top
By Jean-François Quénet in Loudéac

Another bunch sprint was expected in Loudéac, and it happened despite a hard battle earlier on alongside the Breton coast. Many riders were tired by the end, including race leader Edvald Boasson Hagen, who tried to sprint again but couldn't repeat his win. Instead, Dutchman Jos Pronk from Time-Van Hemert scored his first win of the season.
Boasson Hagen was smart to jump out of the wheel of his compatriot Martijn Maaskant (Rabobank) at the last minute because there was a slight head wind blowing on the straight finishing line in Loudéac. It wasn't hilly this time but Amore e Vita was leading for Graziano Gasparre as Ivan Quaranta couldn't held the pace at the end. Many riders reached the line exhausted. The damage will be felt in the legs in the coming days as the race hits the hillier parts of Brittany.
"I had no plan for sprinting myself because my legs weren't good at the end today," said Pronk who had been away for most of stage 1 and thus was wearing the blue jersey of the hot spot sprints. "In fact, I was helping my teammate Ivo Kusters." I drove him to the front and went backwards in the bunch. Then I saw the race leader [Boasson Hagen] leaving some space. He was going back up to the front as well, and I found myself on Maaskant's wheel. It was a good sprint for me because it was a flat one."

Pronk is no stranger to the Tour de Bretagne. Aged 24, he's doing it for the third time. He came second in a stage two years ago. "I was used to hilly circuits every day and climbing isn't my job," he added. "So I came here mostly for training for the Olympia Tour, which is the biggest race of my region."
Pronk hails from Warmenhuizen, in West-Friesland, the same town as Steven Rooks. He's the son of Mathé Pronk who was twice world champion on the track and his elder brother, also named Mathé, is a pro with Unibet.com. This is an unexpected win for the young one of the family but probably not the last one.
By coming second, Maaskant scored some important bonus that leads him to third place overall now. Boasson Hagen keeps the jersey but Rabobank is in an extremely favorable situation.
How it unfolded
The tailwind favored a fast race at the beginning. No attack worked, but 46.4 kilometers were covered in the first two hours. The local team Bretagne-Armor Lux tried everything they could for splitting the bunch but the terrain wasn't very hard.

At the côte de Bel Air (km 106), they put five riders in a 33 men breakaway formed in two waves: Stéphane Bonsergent, Charles Guilbert, David Le Lay, Stéphane Pétilleau and Antoine Dalibard, together with Lars-Petter Nordhaug, Gabriel Rasch and race leader Edvald Boasson Hagen (Maxbo), Frederik Ericsson and Maarten de Jonge (Time-Van Hemert), Lars Boom, and Tom Veelers (Rabobank), Timo Honstein (Sparkasse), Jonathan Dayus, Jonathan Thiré and Mikaël Chérel (U Nantes-Atlantique), Olivier Grammaire (SCO Dijon), Christopher Stevenson, Graziano Gasparre and Artur Krol (Amore e Vita), Tanel Kangert and Rein Taaramae (RO St-Amand), Tristan Le Yondre (Super Sport 35), Juan José Abril, Ivan Gil Martin and Antonio Cosme (Vina Magna), Loïc Herbreteau (CR4C Roanne), Pedro Costa (Vitoria ASC), Alain van Katwijk (Van Vliet), Brice Feillu (CC Nogent) and Yukiya Arashiro (Nippo-Meitan).
20 kilometers further, the front group split in two. 16 riders remained ahead: Bonsergent, Le Lay, Pétilleau, Boasson Hagen, De Jonge, Boom, Honstein, Dayus, Kangert, Taaramae, Le Yondre, Cosme, Herbreteau, Isidoro, Van Katwijk and Arashiro. They got 1:15 lead on the bunch mostly led by Vendée U who had nobody in the front.
At kilometer 145, Pétilleau, Kangert, and Isidoro attacked. The trio reached the final circuit with 35 seconds advantage on their former companions and 1.05 on the bunch. Everyone got caught with 10km to go, and it was another bunch sprint led by Martijn Maaskant (Rabobank) but won by Jos Pronk (Time-Van Hemert).
