Triple for Francaise des Jeux
By Jeff Jones

The Francaise des Jeux team recorded its third stage victory in the 2002 Dauphine Libéré, as 30 year old Fréderic Guesdon won the fifth stage from Digne to Grenoble. Guesdon outsprinted breakaway companions Santiago Botero (Kelme) and Laurent Jalabert (CSC) as once again the peloton allowed a large group of non-threatening riders to escape, finishing with a 9 minute advantage. The top 10 GC did not change, and Lance Armstrong still holds a 16 lead over US Postal teammate Floyd Landis, with Euskaltel's Haimar Zubeldia in third place.
After taking it easy yesterday, it seemed that Santi Botero was on a mission for another stage win. He attacked with Brad McGee on the col du Labouret and took the mountain points alone ahead of David Millar (Cofidis), Stéphane Goubert (Jean Delatour), with McGee in fourth.
By the 47th kilometre, the Colombian had been joined by 12 other riders: Frederic Guesdon (FDJ), François Simon (Bonjour), Laurent and Nicolas Jalabert (CSC), Guido Trentin (Cofidis), Sabastien Talabardon (BigMat), Christophe Edaleine (Jean Delatour), Ludovic Turpin (Ag2r), Anthony Morin (Credit Agricole), Unai Etxebarria and Gorka Arrizabalaga (Euskaltel), and Francisco Javier Vila (iBanesto). None of these riders posed any kind of GC threat, and US Postal was quite content to let them go, setting a steady tempo for Armstrong and Landis. It's their tried and true tactic, and has worked well in the past three Tours de France.
Laurent Jalabert was particularly strong on the climbs, taking points on three of them. On the côte de Masserange (km 150), Jalabert crossed first followed by Guesdon, with a 45 second gap to Turpin, Botero and Nicolas Jalabert. This attack proved to be decisive, and a front group former with Laurent Jalabert, Guesdon, Botero, Turpin and Vila. The next group followed at 1'30 while the peloton was still at 10 minutes and not closing.
The leading five stayed together during the downhill run into Grenoble, and in the sprint it was Guesdon who surprised Botero and Jalabert to win the stage. It was Guesdon's second Dauphine stage win in his career, which has seen few wins, but does include a Paris-Roubaix (1997). With Baden Cooke and Jacky Durand the top two riders in the points classification, Francaise des Jeux is certainly happy with its performance in the Dauphine Libéré, as directeur sportif Marc Madiot attested after today's stage.
"This third stage victory of stage is the result of the good morale within our team," said Madiot, "where everyone is working for the common goal and following instructions. Everyone is making his contribution to the whole. Frederic's victory pleases me a great deal because he an old, calm and serene rider, who has been with me since the beginning. The younger riders develop a a reults of being in contact with an old hand like him.
"As for the Turn of France, there is competition: everyone is looking out for their chance. I will think about this more at the Tour of Switzerland next week. And, I will remain faithful to my practice of annouoncing the team for the Tour only on the evening of the Championships of France."
In the race for the GC, US Postal looks to have it sewn up, although tomorrow's stage will be anything but easy. 146 kilometres from Albertville to Morzine with three Cat. 1 and one HC climb (Col de Joux Plane) could rip things apart worse than the Ventoux did on Tuesday. Armstrong looks comfortable in yellow, but can Landis hang on for second?
Certainly US Postal has been more than happy with Landis' performance in this tour. In a press release issued after today's stage the team described Landis as "a revelation" and gave the former mountain bike racer a chance to tell his story of today's stage and the
"Johan (Bruyneel, USPS's director sportif) said it would make it easier on the team if I went away in a break," Landis said. "I was sitting on, but had the excuse to do so. It was the first break of the day and I was the only one even close on GC. I thanked the team for letting me go in the break and appreciated the confidence they had in me. From now on, I will do what I can (for the team). If I can keep my spot, great, but will work for Lance to keep him in the lead."
His ride up Mt Ventoux in stage two was where Landis really came to everyone's attention. "Ventoux went really well," Landis said. "Going into it, Johan said Chechu (teammate Jose Luis Rubiera) and I should stay out of the way and be there to help Lance to the top. I sat on (Credit Agricole's Jonathan) Vaughters and he rode tempo for what seemed like 30 minutes as he rode for (teammate Christophe) Moreau. Then there were a couple of attacks and the next thing I know there are like six or so guys left. I turned around and there wasn't much left. I tried to cover a couple of attacks and finally couldn't go with anyone and then rode alone over the last few kilometers.
"I had been up Ventoux a few times before - we did it in last year's Paris-Nice - but I had never done it quite like that. I was quite pleased - tired, but at least I had something to be happy about. There are plenty of times after a race when you are wiped out with nothing to show for it."
Landis added, "As for as the racing goes, I have lots to learn, as I do with training and resting as well. This team experience has been wonderful, I couldn't be happier. I couldn't ask for better people to surround myself with. I still have a ways to go and Johan said I should focus on being my best in July."
Also a happy man, of course, was today's winner Frederic Guesdon, who said, "It is necessary to be honest, I was far from being strongest in the hills. But, as soon as I realised I was still with the others at the top of the last col, I thought that anything was possible. I noticed that Botero and Jalabert were marking each other. When Turpin attacked for the finish, I was fifth, with 10 meters to fourth. But, the sprint reached a maximum 300 meters from the line and I was able to go again. I am not a pure sprinter. and anyway it's been a long time since I have been in a position to dispute a sprint finish."
Far less happy was last year's Tour de France King of the Mountains Laurent Jalabert: "I had Botero on my wheel all day. I did not understand his attitude. Moreover, I did not have the impression that he was riding to win. It even hung on my wheel in the sprint at the time when Guesdon left... I must assert myself in a finish like that one. A victory would have been good for me. But this day shows that the desire is certainly there."
