Zen to the zenith, Devenyns close to the win

In the 2.2 category of international cycling, many riders are aiming to move one step higher. They're not experienced enough to realize that they are actually producing a much better spectacle than the true professionals taking part in cat. 1 events. In the Tour de Bretagne, the fighting is permanent.

"And the field is much better than last year," Russell Downing explained after coming second in Fougères behind Jean Zen (VC Roubaix). "I attacked with 25km to go, with 22 to go, with 19 to go, the last time was with 2 to go. I eventually rode away but there was still one guy ahead."

That was Jean Zen, a 24 year-old tall rider (1.90m) who has hoped to turn pro for a few years now. "I'm 79kg," he said. "If I had known that the climb on the final circuit was so hard, maybe I wouldn't have even tried to break clear from the jump. I wanted to pull out during the stage because it started flat out again from the start and I was tired of not being able to do anything in that race."

Three years ago, he was forced to retire from the Ruban Granitier Breton – the former name of Tour de Bretagne – because of being sick after leading the overall classification.

Behind Zen's remarkable solo effort, there was an impressive fight for GC going on. Surprisingly, the two riders from Bretagne-Jean Floc'h who had taken place in the 21 man breakaway earlier on didn't take their turns. Had they done it, Stéphane Pétilleau and Cédric Hervé would have been in contention for the overall win against Jonathan Dayus (U Nantes-Atlantique), Jurgen Roelandts (Bodysol) and Sergeï Klimov (Tinkoff). It was a better opportunity than waiting for David Lelay to attack race leader Dries Devenyns on the final hill.

Devenyns was totally sure of what he was doing. While he watched Lelay and Pavel Brutt (Tinkoff) in particular, he let Downing and Peter Velits (Konica-Minolta) try their luck before catching them. This Velits is for sure to be remembered. The Slovakian winner of the Giro del Capo is only 21 and looks to have a bright future.

There's only one stage to go for Devenyns, who is also a pro in the making. The finish in Dinan includes a 1.2km steep hill with 400 meters of cobblestone. It's extremely spectacular. Two years ago, South African Nic White of HSBC showed his superb class up there while Laurent Mangel, now with Ag2r, secured the final win against Jussi Veikkanen, now with Française des Jeux, and Simon Gerrans, who is now his teammate at Ag2r. The Tour de Bretagne has the reputation of bringing up new talents. Devenyns is already one of them.

How it unfolded

Despite the compact peloton being stopped for 35 seconds behind a train barrier, 47.7 kilometres were covered in the first hour, due to many attacks by the teams who haven't been very successful so far. After 60km, a group of 21 riders went away with Stéphane Pétilleau and Cédric Hervé (Bretagne-Jean Floc'h), Gianni Meersman (Beveren 2000), Jeroen Boelen and Alain van Katwijk (Procomm-Van Hemert), Kristoff De Zutter and Jurgen Roelandts (Bodysol), Jonathan Dayus (U Nantes-Atlantique), Romain Mary, Olivier Nari and Benoît Geoffroy (SCO Dijon), Médéric Clain (VC Roubaix), Julien Simon (Super Sport), Sergeï Klimov (Tinkoff), Nico Keinath (Team Aguti), Bradley Huff and Taylor Tolleson (TIAA-CREF), Pavel Subrt (Dukla Praha), John-Lee Augustyn (Konica-Minolta), Anthony Boyer and Nicolas Rousseau (UC Châteauroux).

In that group, the highest ranked riders were Dayus, Roelandts, Hervé, Pétilleau and Klimov. But the teams of St-Etienne, Côtes d'Armor and DFL chased hard. The gap didn't go further than 50 seconds. When the peloton almost caught the escapees, Nari stayed away by himself and saw Jean Zen (VC Roubaix) coming across. The duo got 2'30 lead and entered the final circuit in the front. Zen dropped Nari who couldn't resist the bunch. For second place, Russell Downing (DFL-Cyclingnews) arrived solo and race leader Dries Devenyns (Beveren 2000) controlled all of his opponents.
