First international win for Deroo, Devenyns retains the lead
By Jean-François Quénet in St-Jean-la-Poterie

The Bretagne-Jean Floc'h team may have underestimated the quality of the amateur riders lining up in the Tour de Bretagne. With two days to go, Dries Devenyns (Beveren 2000) has done the most difficult part of the job. After stage 6, won by young Frenchman David Deroo (VC Roubaix), the Belgian has 28 seconds lead.
Even if he hasn't won the Tour de Bretagne yet, he has probably secured a pro contract for next year. He has received a phone call from Patrick Lefévère who gave him an appointment for Tuesday when he'll return home to Kluisbergen. There's no reason for him to stay in the amateur ranks. As Beveren 2000 is a reserve team for Quick Step, Devenyns looks like a logical second choice after Kevin Seeldrayers, who was the first neo-pro picked by the Belgian cycling honcho for next year.
"At some stage I was worried today though," Devenyns said after the race. "When the gap was three minutes, my teammates rode flat out for one lap and it went down to two minutes. They did a fantastic job." It was an uphill finish, a terrain that Russell Downing used with 14km to go for breaking clear, but he was riding with a broken front brake. At the end, runner up David Lelay (Bretagne-Jean Floc'h) attacked as well but couldn't gain more than eight seconds, which is not much compared to the 34 seconds he lost to Devenyns in the morning.

After the race, the young Belgian got to meet Bernard Hinault. The living legend of Breton cycling explained to him about the next uphill finish, which is the last one in Dinan on Monday: a little more than 1km long with 400 meters of cobblestones. "Exactly like in Flanders!" the Badger said. For someone who comes from Kluisbergen, that shouldn't be a problem. The Bretagne-Jean Floc'h team looks less and less confident for winning their home race.
The winner of stage 6 also comes from the north, but the north of France. David Deroo hails from Roubaix. Aged 21, he's been a member of VC Roubaix for the past ten years. This club now managed by Cyrille Guimard has a long tradition of an efficient cycling school. "I wasn't supposed to be here," Deroo explained. "Last week I was asked to replace an injured rider. I don't realize what I've done yet. It's super! This is my first international win. My best one so far was a stage of Tour du Béarn for U21 last year. I'm very happy that I managed to come across to someone like Ignatiev, who is an Olympic champion. He had attacked before me."
How it unfolded
Attacks went on from the gun. Bretagne-Jean Floc'h's Cédric Hervé was the first man in action. He was joined by around about 20 riders, but a few of them got dropped. 16 stayed away: Hervé, Christophe Diguet (U Nantes-Atlantique), David Deroo (VC Roubaix), Mario Ickx (Beveren 2000), Alain van Katwijk (Procomm-Van Hemert), Alexandre Bousseau and Julien Belgy (Vendée U), Markku Ainsalu and Daniel Fleeman (EC St-Etienne), Kristof De Zutter (Bodysol), Robert Partridge and Evan Oliphant (Recycling.co.uk), Mikhail Ignatiev (Tinkoff), Christoph Kindl (Team Aguti), Peter Stetina (TIAA-CREF) and Sylvain Cheval (UC Châteauroux).

The Beveren 2000 team controlled the bunch and decided to chase harder when the gap went up to three minutes. It was reduced drastically at the end when riders attacked individually from the bunch. David Lelay (Bretagne-Jean Floc'h) tried to put the race leader Dries Devenyns into a trap but Peter Velits (Konica-Minolta) was quick to react and go with him. They were joined by Russell Downing (DFL-Cylingnews) who counter-attacked but he had mechanical problems (brakes) and couldn't finish the job.
At the end, it was Lelay and Pavel Brutt (Tinkoff) who created a small gap (8 seconds) onto Devenyns, as they caught a part of the front group, but not Deroo who overtook Ignatiev, who'd attacked before him.
