Stage 2 - May 14: Château Thierry - Clermont, 192 km
Tom Boonen is back in business
By Jean-François Quénet in Clermont
|
On a very wet day, Tom Boonen has claimed his first victory since his fabulous Paris-Roubaix. He won a bunch sprint and felt the good sensations again. He also took the same yellow jersey he had won one year before.
"I spent all day at the head of the peloton," he explained. "I wanted to avoid crashes. For that, I was all the time in the wind, next to the Lotto train. The stage was very hectic because of the weather making the roads dangerous. Yesterday, for my comeback to racing it was hard, but today it went a lot better. With 50 kilometres to go, my teammates decided to work for a bunch sprint."
That's how the daily breakaway died. Initially there were six riders but Damien Monier (Cofidis) got dropped and Camille Bouquet (MrBookmaker.com) crashed. That left Sylvain Calzati (Ag2r), Laszlo Bodrogi (Crédit Agricole), Maxime Médérel (Auber 93) and Stéphane Bergès (Agritubel). Calzati, the winner of the 2004 Tour de l'Avenir who suffered toxoplasmosis earlier this year, looked aggressive until the bunch caught everyone within the last 10 kilometres.
Then Kevin Hulsmans delivered his good friend Boonen in good position with 300 metres to go. "It was very close on the line," Boonen said. "I believed nobody would come on my side, I was watching on my left but suddenly [Danilo] Napolitano was on my right. I was surprised. I already had my hands up and I hesitated but I knew I had won."

Not only did he win, but he also took the lead on the points competition and he is of course the best young rider, leaving only the prize of the most aggressive rider to Bergès, who is highly motivated on the roads of Picardy where he hails from.
"It was interval training for me today," Boonen added. "It's totally different from what I was doing the day before with long distance training at home. I'm happy to win again but I don't intend to defend the yellow jersey, I don't think it's possible with only three teammates." There are two split stages on Sunday but Wilfried Cretskens will not compete, he has to go to the Tour of Catalunya. With two ProTour races at the same time, Quick Step could only start the Tour of Picardy with five riders.
Winner of stage 1 Gert Steegmans was involved in a crash and couldn't go for the sprint again. A few riders pulled out including Olympic champion Bradley McGee because of a saddle sore. The wet conditions didn't help him, but he's got good form and the Tour de Suisse will be his lead up race to the Tour de France, for which he has high ambitions for GC.
