Wilmann's attack pays off
Benoît Poilvet is a final winner on home soil
By Jean-François Quénet in Dinan

Three years after Stéphane Pétilleau, another Breton rider has won the Tour de Bretagne. It's Benoît Poilvet from the regional continental team Bretagne-Armor Lux. Put under pressure on the last day by runner up Bram Schmitz (Van Vliet), the race leader resisted while the final stage was won by the son of a former champion from Norway, Frederik Wilmann.
He's the son of Jostein Wilmann who finished 14th in the 1980 Tour de France and won the 1982 Tour of Romandie. For the past two years, Wilmann the younger has been at the service of Edvald Boasson Hagen, has since moved onto Team High Road and captured wins in the Criterium International time trial and GP Denain. Freed from this service, Wilmann found the courage to attack in search of his own glory, and it paid off.
"It's been four years since I started chasing an international win like this one," the 22-year-old member of the Joker-Bianchi team said. "I knew he was able to do something like this," directeur sportif Gino van Oudenhove commented. But Wilmann needed to be pushed and it's been the job of his team-mate Joachim Bohler who is another pillar of the Norwegian team put together by the passionate promoter from Hønefoss Birger Hungerhold.
"I was scared to go by myself," Wilmann admitted. "But when I went, nothing could stop me. I passed the last guy away (Jean-Marc Bideau from VC Roubaix) only on the last climb. This is the biggest win of my career so far."
It's also the case for Poilvet who is ten years older than him, and never took a professional win in his eight years with Crédit Agricole, but finally found the secret after moving back to the regional Bretagne Armor Lux team. "I've been in the shadow for nine years and now there is a bit of sunshine on me," he said after crossing the line. "I had the pressure on my shoulders and at some stage, I've cracked. Schmitz frightened me. I have a lot of respect for the Van Vliet team. They have done their job well. I came across because of the great work done for me by my team-mate David Le Lay in the final lap."
Poilvet suggested that the finale must have been thrilling for the crowd. There were about 20,000 spectators gathering in the steep climb in Dinan to watch a Breton rider defending his lead on home soil. The success of the event has enchanted the fans of the sport in the hotbed of French cycling.
How it unfolded
|
The day's stage began with the group remaining intact well past the first hour, but a breakaway of six riders finally took off after 53 kilometers. It was comprised of Gaël Malacarne (Côtes d'Armor-Maître Jacques), Vincent Rouxel (Brest IC 2000), Michael Mørkøv (Denmark), Jetse Bol (Rabobank), Jean-Marc Bideau (VC Roubaix) and David Tanner (VC La Pomme). They got a maximum lead of four minutes.
Rouxel was the first one to disappear from the group. As they reached the final circuit of Dinan with the steep pavé climb of Jerzual, Mørkøv and Tanner also got dropped. Bol attacked and went solo with 20 kilometers to go.
Malacarne and Bideau eventually caught him and Bideau insisted, but a strong attack started from the bunch with 15 kilometers to go. It was from Frederik Wilmann (Joker-Bianchi). The Norwegian overtook Bideau only with 600 meters to go as a first bunch was quite compact very close behind.
Benoît Poilvet (Bretagne-Armor Lux) had controlled the attacks from runner up Bram Schmitz (Van Vliet) and won the 42nd Tour de Bretagne.
