Engoulvent saves the honour of the professionals
By Jean-François Quénet in Ploeren, France
 |
Jimmy Engoulvent of Besson Chaussures Sojasun narrowly won stage five in the Tour de Bretagne after spending 165 kilometres in a breakaway. He attacked the 19-rider break inside of 10 kilometres to go and just managed to hold off the peloton at the finish line.
The 17 bonus seconds he gained on the way to Ploeren are a small benefit compared to the efforts he and his Besson team put into the fight against race leader Julien Fouchard from the amateur team Côtes d'Armor-Maître Jacques who defended its jersey courageously once again.
"Fouchard has given a lot already, so I believe I can beat him by one to one and a half minute if not two minutes in the time trial," said Engoulvent who won the time trial of the Circuit de la Sarthe three weeks ago ahead of Andreas Klöden.
Engoulvent is 3:04 down on Fouchard on GC and still gives himself a chance to win the Tour de Bretagne overall. "I'm one of the strongest riders here," he said. "But therefore it's difficult to get rid of the riders who mark us. We have a lot of adversaries and some teams have strange tactics. On the last day, though, not many teams will be able to chase us down."
Fouchard, who has a good reputation as a time triallist after winning the U23 Chrono des Nations at the end of last year, remains in a perfect position but it's clear that the professionals are not happy enough with stage wins.
How it unfolded
As soon as Julien Fouchard (Côtes d'Armor-Maître Jacques) had a flat tyre after only five kilometres into the race, 19 riders attacked: Lilian Jégou, Cyrille Monnerais (Bretagne-Schuller), Bram Schmitz (Van Vliet), Steven Kruijswijk, Jetse Bol (Rabobank), Jimmy Engoulvent, Yannick Talabardon, Fabrice Jeandesbosz (Besson), Pierre Cazaux, Florian Vachon (Roubaix), Miyataka Shimizu (Meitan), Pieter Ghyllebert (Bourgas), Alexander Mironov (Katusha), Russell Hampton (Grande-Bretagne), Olivier Grammaire, Pierre-Luc Perichon (SCO Dijon), Rudy Lesschaeve (CC Nogent-sur-Oise), Julien Guay and Tony Hurel (Vendée U).
Initially, Benoît Ebrard from Côtes d'Armor-Maître Jacques was also in the leading group. However, Ebrard dropped back to assist Fouchard who was in difficulty and the Breton amateur team chased once again at the head of the peloton.
The Côtes d'Armor-Maître Jacques squad bravely defended its position and the breakaway never got more than a two minute advantage. Beveren 2000 later assisted in the chase effort as did the teams of the sprinters towards the end of the stage.
It looked like the stage would end in a bunch sprint but Engoulvent launched himself from the break and barely held off the peloton.
Fouchard retained his lead on the eve of the 24-kilometre time trial at Douarnenez.
