Olivier Kaisen signs victory with initials O.K.
By Jean-François Quénet in Fethiye, Turkey

It's not usual these days to see a bike rider winning a sprint while sitting on his saddle but Belgian Olivier Kaisen did just that in Fethiye to outsprint Alessandro Fantini (Acqua e Sapone) and Diego Caccia (Barloworld) and score Silence-Lotto's second win of the 2009. The team's last victory came courtesy of Cadel Evans at the Coppi e Bartali last month in Italy.
It was a well deserved win for Kaisen who went away early with nine other riders. "As I felt good already yesterday, I knew this day was the right one for me to go on the offensive," said the Namur-born Walloon who is known as a time trial specialist and a dedicated domestique. He did most of the work in the break, but kept some energy for the final sprint. He wasn't afraid that Caccia was glued to his wheel for the last three kilometres.
"I was fresh and I hadn't given away all my energy," the Belgian winner explained. "It was by chance that we got caught in the last kilometre [by Fantini, Filippo Savini and Hvorje Miohjlevic, ed], otherwise I'm not sure how I would have done it against Caccia. However, I was confident because I was feeling good, even very good. I hadn't given everything before the final sprint. It was new to me to experience such a high level of adrenaline at the end of a race. In the past, when I won, it was solo. This one is great."
His directeur sportif Marc Wauters enjoyed the feeling of winning that Silence-Lotto has been missing so much this year. "We are still in contention for the overall win as well," said Wauters of Pieter Jacobs' 4th position on GC, only four seconds down on Lampre's David Loosli who kept the yellow jersey for the second day in a row.
"At some stage it wasn't as easy as it looked to control the race," the Swiss rider declared. "We wanted to keep the breakaway at eight minutes but it went over ten. At the end of the day, that's what we wanted: an escape to succeed because avoiding a bunch sprint finish almost meant avoiding any crash."
The crashes that occurred the day before in Marmaris were still present in the mind of the competitors who enjoyed a dry, beautiful and sunny day on their cruise alongside the Mediterranean. Friday's Stage 6 from Fethiye to Finike is the longest stage of the 45th Presidential Tour of Turkey with 194.4 kilometres. Loosli knows it might be even more complicated to keep the race under control.
How it unfolded
 |
Ten riders broke clear at km 25: Thomas Vedel Kvist (Quick Step), Olivier Kaisen (Silence-Lotto), Artur Gajek (Milram), Stanislav Kozubek and Frantisek Kloucek (PSK Whirlpool), Oleg Chuzhda (Contentpolis-Ampo), Diego Caccia (Barloworld), Filippo Savini (CSF), Alessandro Fantini (Acqua e Sapone) and Hrvoje Mihojlevic (Loborika).
Caccia had it in his mind to enter a breakaway with the aim of scoring some more points to keep his leader's jersey in the Turkish beauty sprint competition, but Fantini who was equal on points with him must have had the same idea. At Caretta, the place chosen today for that sprint, a wonderful coastal site protected by the UNESCO, Fantini was the fastest and became the leader.
The Lampre team of race leader David Loosli took the command of the peloton. Loosli's yellow jersey wasn't really threatened by the breakaway riders as the highest ranked of them was Mihojlevic laying in 21st position 12:32 down. No team was motivated to close the gap with the prospect of a bunch sprint finish.
Within 45km to, the gap went over eight minutes. The front group split up under the action of Savini with 41km to go. Successively, Mihojlevic, Kaisen, Fantini and Caccia joined him to form a group of five leaders. With 9km to go, Caccia attacked in a downhill section. Kaisen was prompt to join him. The Belgian rider did most of the work but kept some energy for the final sprint. The three chasers came across with 250 meters to go and that gave Kaisen the opportunity to finally start sprinting. He preceded on the line Fantini and Caccia in that order.
The bunch crossed the line almost nine minutes later. It was no problem for Loosli to keep his yellow jersey.
