US Postal coup as Landis moves into second
By Jeff Jones
 |
Lance Armstrong's US Postal team increased its grip on the 54th Dauphine Libéré today, as star recruit Floyd Landis moved into second overall after finishing fourth in the stage and gaining 3'40 on the main field. Landis was part of an early breakaway of 16 riders that wasn't pursued by the field, as there were no real danger men in it. Eventually it was whittled down to eight men with Jean Delatour's Patrice Halgand scoring a timely solo victory, followed by Stéphane Heulot (BigMat), Frederic Bessy (Credit Agricole) and Landis.
Had Landis been with Halgand at the finish, he would have taken the yellow jersey from Armstrong. However, the situation now is that Armstrong leads Landis by 16 seconds, with Haimar Zubeldia (Euskaltel-Euskadi) now in third at 1'12. With tomorrow's moderately difficult stage from Digne to Grenoble, the final challenge for Armstrong and USPS will be Saturday's tough mountain stage from Albertville to Morzine-Avoriaz, containing three category 1 and one hors categorie climb.
 |
Today's stage from Isle-sur-Sorgue to Digne was by no means easy either. 209 kilometres of tough undulations in 30 degree temperatures, capped by the category 2 Col de Corobin climb with 15 km to go would make it a tough stage to control. As it turned out, things fell in US Postal's favour when a breakaway of 16 riders escaped at kilometre 16, containing no real threats to Armstrong's yellow jersey, apart from Landis.
The names in the break were: Patrice Halgand (Jean Delatour), Floyd Landis (USPS), Stéphane Heulot (BigMat), Frederic Bessy (Credit Agricole), Nicki Sorensen (CSC), Nico Mattan (Cofidis), Anthony Charteau (Bonjour), Koos Moerenhout (Domo), Baden Cooke and Thomas Bodo (FDJ), Joaquim Lopez and Antonio Tauler (Kelme), Christophe Oriol (Ag2r), Dariusz Baranowski (iBanesto.com), Iker Flores and Gorka Gonzalez (Euskaltel). Of these, Landis was 11th at 3'56, and Heulot 24th at 8'22.
After an hour of racing, the break had 1'26 on the peloton; after two hours it was 3'52; and by the côte de Taverne (km 115) it was up to 11 minutes. That was as far as they got, as Lotto-Adecco and then US Postal picked up the tempo at the head of the peloton in order to keep Armstrong ahead of Heulot on GC.
 |
As the road began to climb again, the gap and the breakaway bunch started to diminish. The peloton was also starting to fragment under the pressure, and was in two pieces by the Col de Corobin started. In front, Moerenhout and Heulot had attacked before the climb to gain a 46 second advantage on the remainder of the break, which exploded on the climb. Patrice Halgand, Fred Bessy, Floyd Landis, Thomas Bodo and Christophe Oriol caught Heulot (now alone) with 3 kilometres to go to the summit of the climb, before Halgand attacked with half a kilometre to go to crest with a slender 18 second lead.
 |
None of the chasers could close it on the descent, and Halgand won the stage comfortably in the end. Heulot took second, followed by Bessy and Landis. Baden Cooke (who was part of the early break) led the 30 rider peloton home for 9th place. Armstrong finished 25th, and the rest of the top 10 riders on GC also finished in this group.
"This is my second win of the season after a stage win in the Four Days of Dunkirk," said Halgand. "Therefore I reached my objective. I replied in the best possible way to my directeur sportif Michel Gros who thought that I hadn't done enough. Now I hope to obtain a stage win in the Tour de France."
Tomorrow's fifth stage of the Dauphine goes from Digne-les-Bains to Grenoble. It's another 200 kilometre plus stage, containing two category 2, one category 3 and one category 4 climb, finishing with a 30 km descent into Grenoble. There will be even more pressure on the other teams to attack US Postal, who are certainly in the prime position going into the final stages.
