Filippo Pozzato wins his second
|
Mapei-Quick Step's Filippo Pozzato has won his second stage in the Tour de Normandie, from Forges-les-Eaux to Elbeuf-sur-Seine over 153 kilometres. The prologue winner beat Samuel Gicquel (Jean Floc'h) after a successful attack in the final 800 metres. Graziano Gasparre (Mapei) finished in 3rd place.
The stage was decided 35 kilometres from the finish line, when a small group of 18 riders (containing all the top GC riders) was formed. With 10 kilometres to go, Dmitry Muravyev and Gian Paolo Cheula (Mapei) started to attack, dropping GC leader Vilcinskas who had a puncture. Coming into the finish, Pozzato attacked and left the others behind to take his fifth season win.
"At the beginning of the stage I was suffering with strong stomach pains; I was even thinking of pulling out of the race," said Pozzato. "Then, thankfully, as the race went on things started to get better and I started thinking seriously of winning the stage. In yesterday's stage I was left out of the main decisive breakaway due to intestine problems, something that both Clerc and Gasparre have had problems with too. Today we proved that we are inferior to no one".
