Kirsipuu wins fast stage
Estonian sprinter Jaan Kirsipuu (Ag2r) has triumphed in the third stage of the Tour de Poitou-Charentes et de la Vienne, beating Alberto Ongarato (Domina Vacanze) and Jean-Patrick Nazon (Jean Delatour) in a bunch sprint in Loudun. The leaders jersey also changed hands, with Ongarato's time bonus moving him two seconds in front of Landbouwkrediet's Yuri Mitlushenko, who has led since day 1.
The third stage was run between Bressuire and Loudun over 178 km, and was marked by a high pace from the beginning. 48.5 kilometres were covered in the first hour, before a break of seven riders escaped on the côté d'Argenton-L'Eglise: Arnaud Coyot (Cofidis), Pierrick Fédrigo (CA), Karsten Kroon (Rabobank), Stephane Bergés (Ag2r), Samuel Dumoulin (Jean Delatour), Fabien Sanchez (FDJeux.com) and Franck Pencole (Oktos).
The group gained 1'50 on the peloton, which put Fedrigo in the position of virtual leader. The tempo in the peloton was being made by Brioches La Boulangère, which was protecting the interests of its leader Sylvain Chavanel. Thus the break was recaptured with 5 km to go, and a bunch sprint was the result.
Jaan Kirsipuu was too strong today, and dedicated his win to his recently deceased friend and teammate, and former winner of the Tour de Poitou-Charentes, Lauri Aus.
