64th Tour de Luxembourg - 2.2
Luxembourg, May 27-30, 2004
Stage 1 - May 27: Luxembourg-Mondorf, 173 km
Bak wins after long break
Danish rider Lars Bak (BanGiroLoterij) has won the first stage of the Tour de Luxembourg in Mondorf after a successful breakaway. After gaining a massive lead of 12 minutes at one stage, Bak was pegged back to 31 seconds by the peloton at the finish, with Francesco Chicchi taking the bunch sprint for second ahead of Aurélien Clerc (Quick.Step-Davitamon).
The first attack of the day was made by Stéphane Augé (Credit Agricole) after 15 km, and the Frenchman rode solo until km 61 when he was joined by Bak. The two worked well together, opening up a 12 minute lead with 70 km to go, which was enough for them to stay away. Unfortunately for Augé, he broke several spokes in his wheel on the finishing circuits and had to go back to the peloton. He sits in fourth overall, however, after taking some bonus seconds during the stage.
