Rafaa Chtioui proves UCI and ASO right to work together
By Jean-François Quénet in Sassay
The big surprise of today would have to have been the African and Muslim rider, Rafaa Chtioui after he stormed around the ITT course to win the event in front of 19 year old Adriano Malori, the U23 Italian ITT, and Edvald Boasson Hagen from Norway by 4 seconds. French favorite Jérôme Coppel missed out in the final battle with Chtioui after he crashed on the final bend.
The future Française des Jeux rider had scored the best time at every check point before the Tunisian rode. It would have been tight between the two, hadn't Coppel crashed. The French champion for both the road race and time trial who finished 3rd at the World's for ITT last year was in tears but not severely injured. He hadn't planned to complete the Tour de l'Avenir anyway and he'll be able to prepare for the World's in the coming days.
Tony Martin from Germany, finished 4th on the stage, and is the new leader of the race with only 19 seconds over former yellow jersey Bauke Mollema who should find the terrain more suited to his climbing abilities after tomorrow in the center of France. "It was very windy and I knew I could get the yellow jersey today, Martin commented. I just didn't know how strong the other guys could be. It's a very result for me. I'm happy with it because I want to qualify for the World's. Now I want to fight for the overall win. I think we have a good team for defending the lead."
The future looks bright for the new leader on GC, Martin he finished only one place behind 2008 T-Mobile team-mate Boasson Hagen. On the other hand, it's still unsure whether or not Chtioui has a future as a professional cyclist. "It will come, it's my destiny", he said. But he yet has to show the consistency that is required in the ProTour ranks. Last year he joined Ag2r's reserve team in Chambéry in the French Alps but he couldn't stay there. "I was sick and I didn't like to be there", he commented.
He was overweight when former French national coach Michel Thèze rescued him at the World's cycling center put together by the UCI in Aigle, Switzerland, for ations who don't have the structures for producing high profiled cyclists. Chtioui who was 2nd at the Junior World's three years ago made an interesting come back with stage wins at the Tour of Morocco, Tour of Egypt and Tour de Savoie. He recently became the champion of Arab countries for both ITT and TTT. "I didn't expect to win today but I knew I was ready for time trialing", he said.
This is Chtioui's biggest win so far in his short career and it is a testament to the work that the ASO and the UCI has done to develop the talent from all over the world to truly globalize the sport. The verbal fights between the ASO and the UCI surrounding the Tour de France and the ProTour are famous, yet the two organizations have agreed to work together to develop the riders of the future. The Tour de l'Avenir is a non profitable race which costs ASO a lot of money, but the organizers of the Tour de France are aware of their duty to prepare the future of the sport, that's why they have agreed to include the event into the new UCI Nations Cup reserved for the Under 23 riders. With Chtioui, a rider brought up by the UCI, winning the most significant stage of the race thus far, it shows that the powerful organizing company and the governing body can share some views on the sport.
Chtioui is also likely to shine at UCI organized world championships in Stuttgart at the end of the month, although he's still unsure about his diet in the weeks to come because he defines himself as a dedicated Muslim and the Ramadan begins shortly.. Today could well have seen the birth of a champion, one who hails from a different continent with a different religion than the average cyclists, amplifying the need for the sport to become a truly global sport.
