Vandborg sprints to the win
By Susan Westemeyer
Brian Vandborg of Discovery Channel won the second stage of the Tour de l'Ain, taking the sprint win out of a four-man group over Frederic Bessy (Cofidis) and Dmytro Grabovskyy of Quick.Step-Innergetic. Gerolsteiner's Beat Zberg successfully defended his leader's jersey by finishing 18 seconds later in the first following group.
"Four of us got away on the top of a climb 15 km before the finish," the Danish rider said. "We passed the line with ten kilometres to go, and at that time I was told not to take more leads, as they were going to do the sprint for [team-mate and sprinter Alan] Davis. It made me a bit discontent, but anyway. A kilometre later we hit a three kilometre climb, and they start to attack. I had to let the Crédit Agricole rider go. After that I had to lead the last 1.5 kilometres to the top from which there were six kilometres to the finishing line. Grabovskyy and I are chasing to catch him, while the Cofidis rider did nothing. We had between 30 and 50 meters all the time, and with 900 meters to go, I waved Grabovskyy to the front, and he took over. So, with 400 meters to go the gap is closed. The Cofidis guy opened the sprint 250 before the line, I took his wheel and it didn't take much to pass him."
The race went off at a fast pace before a trio of riders broke away. Team Gerolsteiner was determined to hold on to Zberg's lead, and roped them back in about 20 kilometres before the finish. Multiple unsuccessful attacks followed before the Vandborg group got away.
Tuesday's Queen stage runs 128 kilometres with a mountaintop finish on the 1500 meter high HC Le Grand Colombier.
