Danish national champion Lars Ytting Bak of CSC has won the opening stage of the Tour de l'Avenir in Argentré-du-Plessis, the same place in Brittany where David Millar won the inaugural time trial of the 'little Tour de France' for Under 26 back in 1998. The former Cofidis rider has been reported to be in training in Italy recently. He's banned until June next year, but it's unsure yet whether the new 4 year ban rule from Pro Tour teams will apply for him or not.
Team CSC's ambitions for this Tour de l'Avenir are clear from the beginning. "We are the favourites and we hope to confirm that," said the young hope Andy Schleck, who is a potential GC contender as well as Bak and Brian Vandborg. In the first breakaway of the day, CSC outnumbered the other teams with Matti Breschel and Christian Müller alongside Cyrille Monnerais (Française des Jeux), Aaron Kemps (Liberty Seguros), Marc de Maar (Rabobank), Stuart Gillespie (TIAA-CREF), Romain Feuillu (Agritubel), Matej Marin (Perutnina Ptuj) and Tom Stubbe (Chocolates Jacques). They stayed away until the 7th of the 12 laps of the stage. Only Breschel avoided the come back of the peloton and he persisted with Christophe Riblon (Ag2r), Alexander Gottfried (Germany) and Maarten Wijnands (Chocolates Jacques).

They also got caught, then Schleck and Sébastien Duret (Bretagne-Jean Floc'h) took off, before being joined by Bak, Denis Kostyuk (Jartazi) and Jesus Del Nero (Orbea). "It was a fast race, stage winner Bak commented. There wasn't anybody to control but our team CSC spent the whole day in the front and it paid off. Last year I finished in the top 20 of the Tour de l'Avenir and I'm fitter this year, I'm not so heavy anymore and the course isn't that hard. In the early stages, it's flat but windy. I'm happy with the yellow jersey now. I'll try to keep it as long as I can, but with teams of six riders, it's difficult to control. A group can go, it's all over, and c'est la vie..."
The 22km time trial scheduled on Monday should be the turning point of the race. "I may be able to finish top 10," Bak reckoned considering his improvement against the clock. He did three time trials this year: 5th in the Ster Elektrotoer, 6th in the Tour of Denmark, 3rd the Danish championship. "The Tour de l'Avenir is a very unpredictable race," he added. "There are some amateurs racing. With them, you never know. Last year there were Kazakhs, one of them (Maxim Iglinskiy) had the yellow jersey for a while and became a good pro this year. You must have your eyes open every day."
For sure CSC's directeur sportif Scott Sunderland will not let any of his young guns sleep during the coming stages.
