ONCE rules the roost in Rouen
By Tim Maloney, European editor

Just over four months ago, Jan Kirsipuu (AG2R Prevoyance) was one of the hottest pros in the peloton. With back to back wins in Classic Haribo on 24 Feb and Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne a week later, the solid 31 year old Estonian champion looked poised for a big classics season after winning 20 races in 2001.
But a few weeks later, Kirsipuu crashed hard in a training accident and hurt his knee tendons, knocking him out of the spring classics and knocking his team for a loop. AG2R was the controversial last wild card for the Tour, and somewhat questionable with Kirsipuu coming back from his injury, but he won the Estonian championships in May, and today with an excellent win in Rouen, Kirsipuu showed why AG2R Prevoyance deserved to be in the Tour De France.
Kirsipuu sprinted to his 99th career win along the Quai de Seine, a very close win ahead just of CSC-Tiscali's Michael Sandstød. "It was really tough today in the final - my legs were going so I had to win on guts," said a happy Kirsipuu post race. His directeur sportif Vincent Lavenu was delighted as well, thanking the Tour De France organizers for their invitation and proudly pointing out to his critics that his teams had won a stage in the last 5 Tours De France.
How it unfolded
 |
Across the bucolic Val d'Oise farmland north of Paris with an ever present headwind blowing in from La Manche, today's stage offered rolling terrain through quaint brick hamlets to Rouen, the most important city in Normandy. The determined peloton managed to ride the first hour at 48.7 km/h and eventually the first 3 hours were raced at the extremely fast average of 46 km/h, with 20 km/h headwind all day! Perhaps the riders were trying to get away from the vampires in Soissons, as the UCI medical inspectors were busy this morning, visiting Cofidis, ONCE-Eroski, Fassa Bortolo and iBanesto.Com and collecting blood from 36 riders. No abnormalities were found.
In the second big break of the day of 17 riders that escaped after 73 km, Floyd Landis (USPS) was virtual Maillot Jaune when the gap reached 35" (Landis is in 11th place at 32") but ONCE closed this big move down with 95 km to go.
10 km later in a solid group of rouleurs found the right combination and made their break stick with 85 km to go. Jan Kirsipuu (AG2R Prevoyance), Christophe Edalaine (Jean Delatour), Stefano Casagranda (Alessio) Ludo Dierckxsens (Lampre-Daikin) and Michael Sandstød (CSC-Tiscali) are all strong on the flats, so as soon as ONCE realized that this wasn't a dangerous break, they slowed the allure, but not so much to let the break's lead balloon.
As the gap grew to 4'50" with 46 km to race, Edalaine Became race leader on the road, but Lotto began to chase hard for sprinter Robbie McEwen. With a concerted chase behind the gap began to drop, but as the chase was not that intense and the break filled with strong rouleurs, it was pursuit poker across the Department of Seine Maritime. 20 riders hit the deck after a major crash with 16 km to go in the chasing peloton, with Euskaltel's David Etxebarria and Roberto Laiseka, Didier Rous (BJR) and French champion Nicolas Vogondy (FDJ.com) among them. Worst off was Lampre-Daikin's Marco Pinotti, second in a TDF stage last year, who abandoned and went to Rouen Hospital, but without serious injuries.
 |
By Quincampoix, home town of Jacques Anquetil, as the determined quintet powered towards Rouen, it was clear that with a gap of just under 2'00, the break would not be caught. On the long descent into Rouen with 5 km, the break still had 58", and as the lead group hurtled into the centre ville of Rouen, the game of cat and mouse began. Just as he had in his wins in the Spring, Kirsipuu covered every move and attack and in the final 200 meters, the powerful Estonian had just enough juice left to beat Sandstød by half a wheel.
"It's a great feeling for me and for the team. I came to the Tour to win a stage. There aren't too many other chances for a sprinter to win at this year's Tour."
No changes in general classification as ONCE-Eroski's Igor Gonzalez de Galdeano maintains his Maillot Jaune. Tomorrow's weather will start out sunny but as the stage heads into La France Profonde, the clouds will thicken, the headwind will build from the southwest with rain is expected for the finish in Alencon.
