Offredo wins stage, Westra secures overall
 |
Yoann Offredo soloed to victory in the final stage of the Tour de Picardie covering 95.5 kilometres from Ribécourt-Dreslincourt to Noyon. Jimmy Casper (Besson Chaussures-Sojasun) took the bunch sprint for second place 46 seconds later, beating Robert Wagner (Skil-Shimano) to the line.
First-year professional Lieuwe Westra (Vacansoleil Pro Cycling Team) successfully defended his 25-second lead over Romain Feillu (Agritubel) on general classification to win overall. Westra won the opening stage of the Tour de Picardie and maintained his lead on Feillu throughout the event.
"It was a very difficult day, a very difficult race," said Westra. "My team, however, worked really well for me and the yellow jersey. This is obviously my best success but I've only been a professional from the beginning of this year. This is encouraging for the future."
The final stage started out with a flurry of attacks before three riders broke clear after 12 kilometres: Blel Kadri (Ag2R-La Mondiale), Jeremy Galland (Besson Chaussures-Sojasun) and Luis Angel Mate Mardones (Serramenti Diquigiovanni). The trio crested the Côte de Mareuil-la-Motte together at 18 kilometres with Mardones earning top honors followed by Kadri and Galland.
After 19 kilometres of racing three more riders, Mathias Frank (BMC Racing Team), Johan Mombaerts (Auber 93) and Luca Celli (Serramenti Diquigiovanni), joined the leading trio and the break's lead increased to 30 seconds. Galland suffered a flat and was dropped from the break while the remaining five were soon absorbed by a group of 25 riders containing all of the jersey holders and GC contenders.
Romain Feillu (Agritubel) won the points sprint at Ercheu at 48.5 kilometres and soon afterwards two riders attacked, Luis-Leon Sanchez (Caisse d’Epargne) and Yoann Offredo (Francaise Des Jeux). The duo stretched their lead out to 35 seconds at 61 kilometres but the presence of Sanchez, who started the day sixth overall only 32 seconds behind Westra, set off alarm bells in the peloton.
Two kilometres later Offredo dispatched Sanchez, who soon ceased his escape and was absorbed by the peloton. Offredo, however, not a general classification threat at 8:10 behind overall, continued onward in his solo escape reaching a maximum advantage of 1:35 at kilometre 80.
Offredo's lead dipped slightly in the closing kilometres, but he still held 1:05 over the peloton as he passed under the flamme rouge with one kilometre to go and would not be caught on the streets of Noyon.
