Jens Voigt is the true star of the Critérium International, and like a true champion he took control of the race by winning the second, hilly stage on Sunday morning, catapulting himself to the top of the general classification. Voigt has already won the Criterium International in 1999 and 2004 (3rd in 2001, 4th in 2002, 2nd in 2003, 5th in 2005). He also claimed the morning hill climb stage twice and the individual time trial three times. With the German in such great shape this year - already stage winner in the Tour of California, 6th in the Vuelta Murcia and Tirreno-Adriatico - it should be no problem for him to secure the overall win again in the time trial in Charleville-Mézières.

"I remember that two years ago, the breakaway went very early," Voigt recalled. "It's a kind of stage where it's very difficult to re-join someone who's broken away. I was lucky to be in the front with two very good riders, especially Sébastien Joly, I knew he had had a good Paris-Nice and I have a lot of respect for him."

Joly commented: "I wanted to confirm my good Paris-Nice. I like this kind of terrain where it's possible to climb with a big gear." The third man, Gorazd Stangelj was clearly focused on the mountain jersey. But none of the two managed to accompany Voigt when he attacked with almost 25km to go.

The Caisse d'Epargne team spent a lot of time and energy chasing for nothing. "Because the course is always up and down with a lot of curves and changes of rhythm, it's almost impossible for a team to bring the peloton back," Voigt explained. "It would be different if there were 20 kilometres of flat along the river. I love this kind of cycling. It's short and stressful."

It was very spectacular in the French Ardennes forest indeed. The main favorites chased hard. Damiano Cunego missed the victory for the second day in a row and Alexandre Vinokourov was the only big name who didn't make the first group, confirming that he intends to peak only for the Tour de France.

How it unfolded

On the first time up the Côte du Mont Malgré Tout, former U23 world champion Danny Pate (Slipstream) gave the signal for an attack but he couldn't stay with Gorazd Stangelj (Lampre) who was followed by Sébastien Joly (Française des Jeux) and Jens Voigt (CSC). On the next climb, the Côte de Blossette (km 34), the trio had gained a two minute lead.

Caisse d'Epargne was doing most of the work in the bunch but couldn't close the gap. Voigt attacked on the false flat section preceding the second time climbing the Côte du Mont Malgré Tout (km 77) and went solo. A few riders broke clear from the peloton on this climb: Fränk Schleck (CSC), Andreas Klöden (Astana), Alejandro Valverde (Caisse d'Epargne), Giampaolo Caruso (Lampre), Thomas Lövkvist (Française des Jeux) and Felix Cardeñas (Barloworld).

More riders then went across and Damiano Cunego (Lampre) threw all of his forces in a desperate chase by himself behind Voigt who held on and kept 48 seconds lead ahead of Valverde and 12 other riders. With Voigt's time-trialling prowess it should be enough for the German to secure the overall win in the 8.3km individual time trial in the afternoon.
