Bichot takes emotional win on home soil
By Jean-François Quénet in Laval
|
One year after taking Nicolas Vogondy to victory in Laval, Agritubel led local rider Freddy Bichot to his second win in the Boucles de la Mayenne. The team tried to complete its dominance with a bunch sprint victory for Romain Feillu, but the fastest on the final day in Laval was experienced Argentine sprinter Martin Garrido.
"We came here with the goal of winning a stage," Garrido explained. "So I'm very happy to bring this to my team even though we've had to wait for the last day. I was confident because I realised the final circuit suited me perfectly. I like to race in France anyway, I've won a stage at the Tour of Normandy before."
The stocky Argentine played it well against Feillu, who had done a superb job for Bichot and Jimmy Casper, who won the previous stage to Evron. "I did too many efforts between two and one kilometre to go," admitted Feillu. "Garrido started sprinting from far and I thought I could win when I passed him but he passed me again."
The race result was a joy for the Agritubel camp as Bichot is the kind of team player that anybody is happy to see winning. Besides that victory isn't something Bichot is use to. His last stage and overall victory came in 2005 at the Etoile de Bessèges while riding for Française des Jeux.

Agritubel gave Bichot the opportunity to ride the Tour de France for the first time last year. He was on the attack on Stage 1 in England and again on the last day on the Champs-Elysées, where he finished 12th.
"I hope my win here has convinced my team management to take me to the Tour again," Bichot said. "The most difficult thing for me at the Boucles de la Mayenne was to take the yellow jersey. After that, the team worked a superb defence. My team-mates have ridden so well that they have discouraged any eventual attack by the other riders who were well placed on general classification.
"[Franck] Charrier, who was second, realised he had nothing better to hope [for]," he added. "I stayed on his wheel anyway on the final circuits. This is really a nice victory. I heard a lot of people cheering for me on the roads sides. Everywhere I heard 'allez Freddy', 'allez Bichot', or 'La Biche'. It gave me a lot of emotions."
The Mayenne province in the west of France is a traditional cycling area that has produced champions like the Madiot brothers and Jacky Durand. The region's flag bearer on the road is now Bichot, shall his second Tour de France start with Agritubel be confirmed next Sunday after the French championship race.
How it unfolded
|
With a 21 second lead over Franck Charrier (CC Nogent Sur Oise) and 27 seconds over Thomas Berkhout (Rabobank Continental), race leader Freddy Bichot (Agritubel) had to control his main rivals. Things went easier for Bichot's Agritubel team when a group went away after only 10 kilometers.
The group included Luke Roberts (Kuota-Senges), Jean-Luc Delpech and Sébastien Duret (Bretagne-Armor Lux), Gaël Malacarne (Côtes d'Armor-Maître Jacques), Philip Walsleben (Palmans), Nicolas Suzanne (USSAP Barentin), Thibault Macé (Vendée U) and Renaud Pioline (VC La Pomme). None of these riders threatened Bichot's lead as Duret was the highest ranked just over four minutes down on general classification.
The Agritubel team maintained the gap between 1'30" and 1'50" all the way. It was under one minute when the riders entered the final circuit of Laval.
Malacarne tried his luck for a while but both Agritubel and Rabobank worked for a bunch sprint. With 10 kilometres to go, it was all together.
Aleksejs Saramotins (Rietumu Banka) tried to escape before the bunch sprint. Berkhout also went with two kilometres to go but Nicolas Vogondy was the most attentive for Agritubel and brought back the rider. The general classification winning squad prepared the sprint for Romain Feillu, but Martin Garrido (Tavira) was the fastest ahead of David Tanner (VC La Pomme).
