78th Critérium International - 2.HCFrance, March 28-29, 2009Main Page Results Overall standings Previous Stage Stage 3 - March 29: Charleville-Mézières - Charleville-Mézières, ITT, 8.3kmMartin takes stage, Voigt the overallSaxo Bank rider equals Poulidor with fifth winBy Bjorn Haake Jens Voigt (Saxo Bank) won his fifth Critérium International with another solid time trial, finishing fifth on the day, 18 seconds behind Tony Martin (Columbia-Highroad). But Frantisek Rabon (Columbia-Highroad) gave Voigt a run for his money, finishing the weekend's racing only two seconds behind the German. Bradley Wiggins (Garmin-Slipstream) ended the day a close second to Martin, six seconds back. Danny Pate added to a good day for the American team, defending his overall podium position by placing seventh in the time trial. Voigt had a slim seven-second lead over Pate entering the time trial and even the 18th placed rider, Evgeni Petrov (Katusha), was only 12 seconds back, setting the race up for an exciting finale. "Nothing was decided, the differences were quite small and I had to really fight for the victory. Keep in mind, two seconds, that's not much! That's why I am so happy to have won." It may not be Voigt's last win. "After five wins, I think I have found the recipe for this race. See you next year!" Martin set the best time early, as he had lost too much time in the morning stage, seven minutes to be exact. His time of 10:05 for the 8.3-kilometre course would stand until the end, however. Wiggins was also more than three minutes back, but his 10:11 gave him second place for the day. Maxime Monfort (Columbia-Highroad) was one of the riders at 12 seconds, who set a first good time to threaten the lead of Jens Voigt, with a 10:23. Shortly after, Rabon came home in 10:13. Voigt knew what he had to do and he didn't disappoint. Tied with Pate at the intermediate check, he squeezed two more seconds out of the American by the race's end. His 18-second gap was not important, as he was only ten seconds behind Rabon, giving him the win by two seconds. PhotographyFor a thumbnail gallery of these images, click here Images by AFP Photo
