Stage 4 - May 18: Ault Cayeux-sur-Mer, 95 km
Chavanel sprints to overall win
|
Holding true to its promise, the Tour de Picardie proved to be a race for the sprinters, and the final stage went to the best of bunch: Sébastien Chavanel. The Française des Jeux rider was delivered to the stage victory by his team-mate and Het Volk winner Philippe Gilbert by the sea at Cayeux-sur-Mer, his bonus seconds providing just enough time to gain the overall victory as well. With the stage win and an intermediate bonus, Chavanel slipped ahead of the morning's leader Jean Eudes Demaret (Cofidis) to win by just one second.
"It's a team victory. I was perfectly led out by Gilbert," Chavanel gleemed. "We took off together in the final bend behind Hoste. I turned around and saw that the others were ten metres behind and I told Philippe 'now's the moment'. We eased up the pace and finished together. It's a real satisfaction and the proof that we can rely on sprinters to win races."
As has been the case for the previous stages, the attacks flew from the first kilometre. This time it was Will Frischkorn (Slipstream) who was the first go go clear, and was joined by Janek Tombak (Mitsubishi Jartazi), Florent Brard (Cofidis) and Emilien Benoit Bergès (Agritubel). At the top of the Côte de Blengues (km 10.5), Tombak took the points ahead of Bergès and Frischkorn, with a lead of 40 seconds over the peloton. At the top of the Côte d'Ault (km 18), Tombak again claims the most climbers' points in front of Brard and Frischkorn, while the pack remained 45' seconds adrift.

The quartet gained a maximum lead of 1'55 at Bugny-les-Gamaches (km 29.5) before the peloton got serious about chasing. With just over 30 kilometres to go, the escapees entered the final circuit with just 20 seconds advantage, and with the sprinters' teams barging down upon them, Frischkorn was the first to decide to throw in the towel. Tombak, Brard and Bergès continued their efforts but were eventually caught at La Molière d'Aval (km 71), while last year's overall champion Robert Hunter lost contact with the main field.
Moving closer to the intermediate sprint on the line at Cayeux-sur-Mer, the favourites' teams started organising what promised to be a battle for seconds. At the first passage on the line (km 75.5), Sébastien Chavanel outsprinted Elmiger and Demaret. After that last bonus sprint, Demaret was holding the yellow jersey by two seconds ahead of Elmiger, but the final showdown on the sea shore at Cayeux proved to be decisive.
The last circuit was full speed ahead as Chavanel's Française des Jeux team-mates began preparation for the final sprint. With 300 metres to go, Chavanel and Gilbert attacked together and crossed the finish line hand in hand. The overall victory went to Chavanel by one second over Demaret.
