Kern wins after monster breakaway
Lövkvist takes over lead
The toughest stage of the Tour de l'Avenir so far saw Frenchman Christophe Kern continue Brioches la Boulangère's success by winning the 142 km stage to Metz. After attacking with Daniel Spence (HSBC) early on in the stage, Kern eventually crossed the line solo with a 1'04 advantage on Moises Duenas Nevado (Relax) and 1'09 to Theo Eltink (Rabobank TT3). The race lead changed hands after Swedish talent Thomas Lövkvist (FDJeux.com) finishing sixth in the stage and donned the yellow jersey.
How it unfolded
Today's 142 km stage featured four climbs and strong winds, prompting an aggressive start. After a number of attacks, Kern and Spence managed to get clear after 10 km and built up a 1'00 advantage by the first climb of the day, the Côte de Montenach (km 20). The peloton sat up and after 42 km, the leaders had 7'00 on the bunch, which started to get anxious. A counter move started with Petter Renäng (Bianchi Nordic) and Matti Breschel (Team PH) being joined by race leader Cesar Veloso (Relax) and Yannick Talabardon (Auber/Oktos), which reduced the gap to the leaders to 5'40 at km 50.
By the côte de Luttange (km 62), the gap had come down to 4'15 and it seemed as though the peloton had the measure of the breakaways. But it was still too early to chase and the lead went up again to 5'30 with 60 km to go. The next rider to try to bridge up was Russian Ivan Shchegolev who attacked on the Côte de Fêves (92 km) and reached the summit 3'50 behind the leaders. The peloton followed another 25 seconds back, where it remained for the next 20 km. Shchegolev was finally caught with 25 km to go but the two leaders still had 4'25, which seemed to be enough to get to the finish.
With 15 km to go, Kern attacked and left Spence behind, riding to a strong solo victory with over a minute to spare over the front part of the peloton, which blew apart on the Côte du Mont Saint-Quentin with 7 km to go. Despite playing a key role in the break for most of the day, Spence was caught and eventually finished in 106th place, 4'28 down.
