Prologue - September 5: Chalette-sur-Loing - Chalette-sur-Loing, 7.5km

Costa Rican claims prologue

Costa Rican Andreï Amador captured the first yellow jersey of the Tour de l'Avenir by winning the 7.5 kilometre prologue in Chalette-sur-Loing. Amador bested Slovenian Kristjan Koren and German Sergej Fuchs, setting a winning time of 9'20". Frenchman Jérôme Coppel lived up to expectations by finishing fourth while his teammate Tony Gallopin, who suffered a fall, finished over a minute adrift.

The other contenders for final overall victory remained within shooting distance. Rein Taaramae (Estonia) clinched sixth spot and Dennis Van Winden took fifth position. Amador was pleased to take the leader's jersey. "It's a great moment. When I took off it was very windy. I'm therefore very happy to have been able to keep a good pace all along the course. Now I will have to confirm my good performance."
