A lesson of Grammaire
By Jean-François Quénet in Douarnenez
|
Finally, the expected big battle didn't happen on the road to Douarnenez in Southwest of Brittany. Norwegian prodigy Edvald Boasson Hagen controlled the situation, while Olivier Grammaire from SCO Dijon became the first Frenchman to win a stage ahead of the only British rider in the race, Jonathan Dayus from U Nantes-Atlantique, who has been close to imitate his compatriot Russel Downing, the winner at the same place two years ago.
Grammaire is no stranger to the Tour de Bretagne. Last year, he won the spectacular last stage in Dinan. Two years ago, he was the king of the mountain. Three years ago, he was a captain giving directions to the later winner Laurent Mangel. Aged 30, he's in his eighth season in the team of Dijon and doesn't want to move elsewhere.
"I came here with the intention of winning a stage and this is done," he said, feeling very satisfied with himself in the end. He played it smart by not taking any turn in the final lap, except when he went off Dayus' wheel in the last 200 meters. "Dayus and David Le Lay are both pretty fast," he added. "But I didn't understand the tactics of Bretagne-Armor Lux today."
Everybody expected the Breton team to try and do the same as the day before when they sent five riders away in a big group. On the other hand, they chose to be spectators of the Norwegian team Maxbo-Bianchi pacing the bunch all day behind the duo who opened the road. They even instructed Antoine Dalibard not to stay with them as he was initially a member of the breakaway.
"The course of this Tour de Bretagne is too flat for us", his father and DS Philippe Dalibard stated. "Have they given up their ambitions because the 25km time trial on the penultimate day doesn't favour them? It's going to be an interesting battle between Boasson Hagen and Rabobank. It was in the mind of the race organiser Christophe Fossani to keep the suspense running till the end. This is what it looks like for now."
How it unfolded
|
A group of four riders took off soon after the start: Yukiya Arashiro (Nippo-Meitan), Sébastien Harbonnier (CC Nogent), Sébastien Turgot (Vendée U) and Antoine Dalibard (Bretagne-Armor Lux). Turgot was the highest ranked rider, in top 10 on GC. He stepped down and let himself get caught by the bunch after winning the first hot spot sprint in Cléguérec at km 29.4.
More surprisingly, Dalibard did the same. He stopped to answer the call of nature at km 38 and waited for the bunch under the instruction of his dad and directeur sportif Philippe. Arashiro and Harbonnier were gone for a long day out. They got a maximum lead of 4.30 minutes over the peloton only led by the team Maxbo-Bianchi of the race leader Edvald Boasson Hagen.
Olivier Grammaire (SCO Dijon) attacked from the bunch at km 124. He rejoined the two men away at km 140, just before the final circuit containing a steep hill in Douarnenez. Jonathan Dayus (Team U Nantes-Atlantique) took advantage of the hill for going across. He made it by himself with eight km to go. Grammaire and Dayus dropped Arashiro and Harbonnier off but David Le Lay (Bretagne-Armor Lux) came back with three km to go.
Dayus was first in the last curve 300 meters before the line. Grammaire was right on his wheel and passed him. Only four seconds later arrived a group of 29 riders with the race leader Boasson Hagen and Rabobank boys Lars Boom and Martijn Maaskant but without stage two winner Jos Pronk (Time-Van Hemert) and Kristof Vandewalle (Beveren 2000).
