Stage 1 - June 1: Luxembourg-Mondorf , 168,6 km

Johansen takes the rainy stage

By Susan Westemeyer

CSC's Allan Johansen won the first stage of the Tour of Luxembourg, and Luxembourger Kim Kirchen placed second, defending his leader's jersey. The stage, which was held in constant rain, was marked by many escape attempts. At the end, a group of eight sprinted for the finish, with a group of about 30 finishing 8 seconds later. Johansen took the sprint, with Kirchen (T-Mobile) finishing second and Matthieu Sprick (Bouygues) third. A group of seven riders did not finish within the time limit and was removed from the race.

In the overall classification, Kirchen stayed in first place, 14 seconds ahead of Rabobank's Juan Antonio Flecha in second and 15 seconds ahead of Johansen in third.

Friday's stage runs 183.2 km from Schifflange to Differdange, and another sprint finish is expected.
