Stage 1 - April 7: Noirmoutier-en-l'Ile - Ancenis, 191.9km

Rossi full gas to victory on stage one

Italian Enrico Rossi took firm command of the first stage of the Circuit Cyclists Sarthe, attacking repeatedly until he was successful in forcing a breakaway at kilometre 35 then pounding his way over the 191.9km stage to the win. On a brilliantly sunny day in France, the Italian of the Ceramica Flaminia - Bossini Docce squad escaped with BMC's Martin Kohler and Kévin Ista (Agritubel) ahead of the day's first sprint in Bois-de-Cené.

The trio worked well together to gain a maximum seven minute advantage before the mid-way point of the stage, but that lead faded to just over two minutes by the time the last of three classified climbs had passed at kilometre 157. Rossi crested each of the climbs in first position, while Kohler mopped up all the hot spot sprint points along the way.

The peloton was nipping at the heels of the leaders as they made their way around the finishing circuit, and with less than 10km to go, Rossi attacked and left Kohler and Ista to be caught by the peloton.

Four riders attempted to reach the raging Rossi with 7km to go, but Pierre Rolland (Bbox Bouygues Telecom), Benoît Vaugrenard (Française des Jeux), Geoffroy Lequatre (Agritubel) and Romain Lebreton (Bretagne - Schuller) were unable to close down the last of Rossi's gap.

Rossi sailed across the line with a 10 second lead over the peloton, which was led home by Alberto Loddo (Serramenti) for an Italian 1-2. Kohler took third.
