Stage 1 - March 29: Signy-le-Petit - Charleville-Mézières, 193km
A flying Dutchman holds strong
By Hedwig Kröner
Laurens Ten Dam fooled the whole of the bunch on Saturday in taking the first stage of the Critérium International from Signy-le-Petit to Charleville-Mézières in a solo move, just 10 seconds ahead of a charging field on the finish line. The Rabobank rider had escaped from the peloton after only two kilometres raced and, in the company of American Ian McKissick (BMC), had gained a maximum advantage of almost 17 minutes over the chasers on the flattish 193 km-long stage one of the Critérium International.
"I said that I wanted to try and do something this morning," the delighted winner said. "I really ground my teeth to win it, because it happened several times to me that I have gotten caught with just a few hundred metres to go. I thought of all that and said to myself: 'Not this time!'"
As usual in these sort of race situations, everybody thought the pair would be caught easily before the finish line, but this time, it was different. The peloton broke up into three groups while chasing the break. Still, Ten Dam and McKissick held onto their lead, until the American's forces faded in the finale. With 23 kilometres to go, he had to let his breakaway mate go off on his own. Ten Dam finished it in style and scored his first major victory in front of Benoit Vaugrenard (Française des Jeux) and Mirko Lorenzetto (Lampre).
"I felt I had good legs, which is why I attacked so soon," Ten Dam continued to explain. "McKissick followed me, and rode so hard to get a maximum advantage that in the end, he was exhausted. I decided to drop him as I knew I would be able to hold a steady rhythm better on my own." At the end of the day, the 27 year-old Ten Dam spent 191 kilometres in front of the race, and crowned his feat with the stage win and the overall leader's jersey.
For his efforts, McKissick won the King of the Mountains. "We are very happy with Ian today," DS John Lelangue said on www.bmcracingteam.com. "He followed the game plan exactly and now we will see how well we can defend his jersey."
In the general Classification, top favourite and three-time race winner, Jens Voigt, placed fourth, 28 seconds adrift, but only one second away from the rest of the overall contenders such as Damiano Cunego (Lampre), Robert Gesink (Rabobank), Alejandro Valverde and Luis Leon Sanchez (Caisse d'Epargne), as well as David Millar (Slipstream).
A few other big names such as David Zabriskie (Slipstream), Sandy Casar (Fdjeux) and Bobby Julich (CSC) were caught in the second chase group and lost over seven minutes on the overall, annihilating their overall chances.
Sunday's stage two will see the riders tackle a hilly course from Les Vieilles Forges (Les Mazures) to Monthermé, before the final time trial in Charleville-Mézières will decide upon the winner of this year's event.
