Mangel is a winner once again

After four years of racing for AG2r, Laurent Mangel is again a winner under the colours of the new French Continental team Besson Chaussures Sojasun. Mangel won stage three of the Tour de Bretagne, a race he won overall five years ago for his amateur club SCO Dijon. That was the last year of the event being called Ruban Granitier Breton.
"It's not the same race anymore, the level has increased drastically," Mangel said.
In 2004, Mangel battled against Simon Gerrans who finished third overall. Considering that the Australian finished 7th, 6th and 8th at the Amstel Gold Race, the Flèche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège respectively last week, it can be seen as a step backwards. "For me it's a new start in my career," Mangel said. "I didn't find my role at AG2r in the middle of many foreigners. I prefer to race in a more compact group of riders."
Mangel had two pro wins only: a stage at the 2005 Boucles de la Mayenne and a more valuable one at the 2006 Tour de Langkawi in Tampin, Malaysia. He also finished 2nd to Stefano Garzelli in a mountain stage of the 2007 Giro d'Italia. Mostly, however, he was lost on the B-program of a big ProTour team and never managed to get a start at the Tour de France. It was his choice to answer the call of former French champion Stéphane Heulot when he formed the Besson Chaussures Sojasur team last autumn.
Besson now has three riders in the top eight of the Tour de Bretagne. They are in a position to dethrone Julien Fouchard who has been unlucky to crash and sustain a flat tyre during his first day as the race leader. His team, Côtes d'Armor-Maître Jacques, struggled to help him to the finish of stage three and he lost one and a half minutes.
More battles are expected on the undulating Breton roads where Alexander Kristoff (Joker Bianchi) seems at ease. In the first three stages he's finished in 3rd place twice as well as a 2nd place finish despite being a member of the 100-kilometre long breakaway. More should be seen from the 21-year-old Norwegian from Joker Bianchi.
How it unfolded
Stage three started in Fougères under pouring rain but it didn't stop the riders from going fast despite the three-quarters head wind they faced on their way towards the Breton coast nearby the English Channel. They covered 44.5 kilometres in the first hour, after which breakaways finally managed to take shape.
After 50 kilometres 12 riders broke away in two waves: Gaël Malacarne (Bretagne-Schuller), Bram Schmitz (Van Vliet), Jérémie Galland et Julien Simon (Besson), Philip Mamos (Amore e Vita), Sven Vandousselaere (Beveren), Alexander Kristoff (Joker), Timofey Kritskiy (Katusha), Nico Keinath (Allemagne), Benjamin Pascual (SCO Dijon), Matthieu Converset (CC Nogent) and Thibault Macé (Vendée U).
They established a maximum lead of 2:20 while the Côtes d'Armor-Maître Jacques team of race leader Julien Fouchard set tempo at the front of the bunch. Fouchard's team eventually received some assistance from the Roubaix Lille Metropole squad which wasn't represented in the lead group.
Since the breakaway wasn't working well together the peloton ate into its lead, but there was still a 45 second gap when they entered the final circuit in Saint-Cast-le-Guildo. Kritskiy attacked and tried to finish solo. It was a superb effort but the Russian gave up on the last lap.
Mangel counter-attacked and won alone. Fouchard finished in the second part of the bunch but maintained his lead on general classification.
