71st Critérium International - 2.1
France, March 30-31, 2002
Stage 1 - March 30: Charleville Mezieres - Charleville Mezieres, 192 km
Nazon junior takes Maillot Jaune in his biggest ever win
By Tim Maloney, European editor
Jean-Patrick Nazon (Le Francaise Des Jeux) took today's first stage of this weekend's Critérium International, a nano-version of the Tour De France run in and around Charleville-Mézières in northeast France. The 25 year old Nazon from Epinal, France, younger brother of Bonjour's sprinter de maison Damien Nazon, powered to victory in the uphill, headwind sprint on stage 1, a bike length ahead of Alessio's emerging Italian sprinter Angelo Furlan, with aging Francis Simon (Bonjour) riding a stupid, swerving sprint to third.
"I had good legs today," said Nazon, "but I wasn't sure of how I would do in a major sprint like this...Brad (McGee) was there (for the leadout) and then it seemed too easy. I've worked hard in training this year and I gave it everything I had in the last 200 meters."
Nazon will wear the Maillot Jaune of race leader tomorrow morning for the tough 98.5 km hilly road race with 9 steep hills in the French Ardennes on the menu, but the handsome blond sprinter with the heavily muscled legs isn't a threat for overall victory. However, his win has certainly raised FDJ's capital where a Tour De France wild card selection is concerned.
Another French squad with Tour De France wild card selection on their minds, AG2R Prevoyance, opened the hostilities on Stage 1 by sending long break specialist Stephan Berges solo after 10km. The blond Berges pumped hard and managed to stay away as the strangely inactive peloton let him get well up the road on the cool and lightly overcast spring day.
Berges didn't have time to look at the pretty dogwood and apple blossoms as he was trying to garner King of the Mountain points, with Credit Agricole and USPS riding hard tempo for Voigt and Peña over the final kilometres. As the 27 year old rouleur from Senlis topped the final KOM on the penultimate cote of Signy-l'Abbay, he was absorbed by the peloton after a valiant and successful 153km break.
With 30km to go, the action started in earnest but no one made a decisive move until the final climb of Stage 1, Cote de Barbie-Croq, where Alessio's leader Laurent Dufaux dumped USPS's Dave Zabriskie and bolted for home. But the sprinters' teams like FDJ and Credit Agricole reeled him in the final kilometres through Charleville-Mézières.
Nazon blasted off of Baden Cooke's wheel, while the speedy Australian kept dangerous Norwegian Thor Hushovd (C-A) pinned on the barriers as his team-mate Nazon powered to his 11th career win.
After Easter Sunday morning's 98,5 km hilly road race, the Critérium International will conclude with a TT 8,5 km in Charleville-Mézières.
