Casper back on top
By Bjorn Haake
Jimmy Casper (Besson Chaussures - Sojasun) returned to the big stage with a brilliant sprint victory in stage one of the 78th Critérium International. Casper took a clear win over Yauheni Hutarovich (Française des Jeux) and Cyril Lemoine (Skil-Shimano) on a rainy day in northern France.
Before thanking his lead-out men Casper addressed a non-racer. "I would like to thank Christian Prudhomme because if he hadn't invited us [the Besson Chaussures - Sojasun team], I wouldn't have won. This win is mainly a team victory because the sprint was beautifully prepared by Talabardon, Mangel and Engoulvent."
Casper had a difficult couple of years, first with his horrible crash in Gent-Wevelgem and then with a positive doping test due to his asthma medication.
"For me, it is a very important win because this winter I had to start over from zero. Tomorrow, I will probably lose my yellow jersey after the hilly race but I won't give it up without a fight."
The first part of the race was dominated by a four-man break, with Christophe Kern (Cofidis), Arnaud Coyot (Caisse d'Epargne), Timothy Duggan (Garmin-Slipstream) and David Le Lay (Agritubel). Their maximum advantage was 9:35 at km 50. Being the only non-French rider, Duggan got a little less of the shares of mountain and sprint points.
Le Lay won two of the three mountain sprints and took over the lead in the polka-dot jersey competition. The sprint points weren't enough to endanger the stage's winner, who took over the lead with 15 points. The best sprinter of the break, Coyot, received eight points for his efforts.
All but Le Lay were caught in the descent of the Côte de Signy-l'Abbaye. Le Lay finally had to surrender 10 kilometres from the finish, setting up the bunch sprint.
Defending champion Jens Voigt (Saxo Bank), who is trying to tie Raymond Poulidor's record of five wins, ended the day near the top, in 18th place. He did not gain any time bonuses, one of his goals. The bonuses were all snatched up by the break of the day.
Saxo Bank's Directeur Sportif Kim Andersen was still happy. "The day went by perfectly for us as we worked hard in the front of the peloton to catch the breakaway. Unfortunately, there was a crash five kilometres from the line, where many of our riders got caught in the second group. Tomorrow, we have go out and attack on the morning stage to distance the time trial specialists, such as Tony Martin, in order to win overall."
