Amateur riders continue to upstage the professionals at the Tour de Bretagne. After four stages, Julien Fouchard of Côtes d'Armor-Maître Jacques remains the race leader with a significant advantage and only one stage to control before the 24-km time trial of Douarnenez. The winner of the day was Belgian rider Sander Armee from Beveren 2000 who was a member of the second breakaway of the day and was the only one who resisted the return of the peloton.
"It's difficult for me to win here against the professional cyclists, I'm not one of them," said Armee who works part time as a real estate agent in his town of Leuven, known for its medieval university and the Stella Artois brewery.
"My condition is good," he added. "I thought I'd be able to win a stage here because I love the finales of the Tour de Bretagne. It's every day on a hilly circuit and that's the kind of cycling I like the most." It was his second win of the year after Deinze-Yper and he's the leader of the "top competitie" in Belgium.
The Beveren 2000 team is well known since they won the Tour de Bretagne overall with Dries Devenyns in 2006. With four riders in the top 15, including time trial specialist and recent U23 Tour of Flanders winner Jan Ghyselinck, they are in contention for the final win again. "It's possible to beat Fouchard but it will be difficult," Armee warned. "It's been a little mistake to allow him so much advantage on stage two."
How it unfolded
Four riders attacked from the start despite the rain in the early part of the stage: Jimmy Engoulvent and Julien Simon (Besson Chaussures), Dennis van Winden (Rabobank) and Bram Schmitz (Van Vliet). They put race leader Julien Fouchard under pressure, but his amateur team Côtes d'Armor-Maître Jacques maintained the peloton at about one minute. The maximum gap was 1:20 once Joost Van Leijen (Van Vliet) had made it across to the leading group at km 55.
Engoulvent dropped off because of a mechanical incident at km 60 and the bunch was back together again at km 72. Past km 100, a new front group was formed with stage 3 winner Laurent Mangel (Besson Chaussures), Vladislav Borisov (Amore e Vita), Sander Armee (Beveren 2000), Benoît Daeninck (CC Nogent-sur-Oise), Cyrille Monnerais (Bretagne-Schuller) and once again Schmitz. As Monnerais was dropped, his team-mate Gaël Malacarne who was the local rider of the finishing area replaced him in the front group after a strong solo effort. The Bretagne-Schuller cyclist accelerated alone again but was eventually caught.
During the final lap, while the bunch was getting close to the leaders, Armee attacked with 1.5km to go and stayed 11 seconds ahead. Fouchard who had a problem with his chain inside the last three kilometres was classified with the same time as the commissaires considered it was a mechanical incident.
