Stage 5 - September 8: Maurs - Saint-Flour, 155 km
Egoi Martinez assumes the lead
The lead continues to change in the Tour de l'Avenir, with Basque rider Egoi Martinez (Euskaltel-Euskadi) the latest rider to take the yellow jersey. Martinez finished second in a two up sprint behind Yuriy Krivtsov (Jean Delatour), and the pair's 35 second advantage helped give Martinez a one minute lead on GC to Camille Bouquet (French National Team).
The 155 km stage between Maurs and Saint-Flour was held in wet conditions, and the five climbs en route were expected to really challenge the riders after a long day yesterday. The first climb was the Côte de la Cabrespines (km 14), and it was here that the break of the day was established. Martinez was there, together with Krivstov, Petrov (Carvalhelhos), Rogina (Perutnina), Leblacher (Credit Agricole), Bouquet (French National Team), Van Hecke (Quick.Step) and Creed (USA National Team). The group built a three minute lead by the top of the climb, and were never seen again by the peloton.
Once the gap got out to 4'10, a chase was started in the peloton, however it had little effect on the eight riders in front who were working very well together. By the Côte de Badailhac (halfway), the gap had grown to 5'15 and it increased further to 5'40 with 45 km to go. The Carvalhelhos and Vlaanderen teams decided to mount a proper chase, and pulled back a minute by the time the leaders reached Douze with 20 km to go.
It was just after this point that Krivstov and Martinez attacked, quickly pulling away from their six companions to put themselves into a winning position. Krivstov won the sprint for the stage, but Martinez took the yellow jersey. The remaining riders in the break moved themselves into top positions on GC, while the peloton finished 4 minutes down.
