54th Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré - 2.HCFrance, June 9-16, 2002Prologue - June 9: Lyon ITT, 3.6 kmMcGee and Cooke in Aussie FDJ 1-2 in Dauphine prologueAlthough talented Australian sprinter Baden Cooke (FDJ) admitted after the Dauphine Libéré prologue that he hates coming second, today he didn't mind so much as his friend and teammate Bradley McGee took the honours in one of France's biggest races. McGee is a specialist over this distance (3.6 km), having grown up on the velodrome, and today he put that to good use in clocking 4'14.39 seconds to win the stage and don the first leader's jersey. Cooke was second, 1.34 seconds behind followed by Norwegian Steffen Kjaergaard (USPS), who bettered his teammate Lance Armstrong's time by 2.3 seconds to take the final podium spot. Despite his pedigree, the result was a bit of a surprise for McGee, who has taken some time to recover from a crash in the Four Days of Dunkirk in early May. He said that he was feeling "a bit sleepy after the crash. But last week I went to see a physiotherapist and he woke me up completely. But I did not expect to win because I've not worked at time trials for some time." McGee has improved gradually every year as a pro, and today was his biggest win in his 5 year career. Although a specialist himself, he upstaged a number of the favourites including Lance Armstrong (5th), Didier Rous (10th), David Millar (11th) and Santiago Botero (25th). US Postal's Viatcheslav Ekimov also made an impressive return to the peloton, coming 16th in the prologue. Tomorrow's first stage from Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne to Saint-Etienne will be a chance for McGee to help Cooke, as the stage is suited to a bunch finish, although it does contain some climbing.
