Tomorrow's TT first true test in Tour de France

After nine days and 1410.5 kilometres of racing run at an incredible average speed of 43.65 km/h, today's long traverse stage across Brittany ended in a sprint win from a seven man break by Karsten Kroon (Rabobank), a 26 year old from Dalen, Holland who is known as a fast sprinter in a breakaway mode. Dutch riders finished 1-2-3 today, shutting out the three French riders in the break.
"I was happy to win today," said an emotional Kroon post-race. "I tried to get away a few times in the last week, but I always had bad luck, and with the wind it was tough. But I had good legs today and felt sure I could win", said the smiling crewcut Dutchman, who benefited from the presence of his experienced teammate Eric Dekker today. "He made the others tired today", said Kroon, "and since I could stay on the wheels, I won easily."
According to Tour De France historian Jacques Augendre, this year's Tour has been among the fastest in history, if not the fastest to date. Today's stage was no exception, with 98.6 km covered in the first two hours along small roads, mostly lined five deep on either sides with happy French holiday makers. Multiple attacks went in another day of grand bagarre and finally one stuck after 108 km near the tiny village of Tremorel. With three French riders, three Dutch riders and a Latvian, everyone wanted the break to go to the end and the tough finishing circuit of Jean Yves Perron in Plouay, site of the 2000 World Pro Road Championships.

Frank Renier (Bonjour) was up there again, with local Breton Sebastian Hinault (C.A.) and Stéphane Augé (Delatour) as well as Dutch trio Eric Dekker and Karsten Kroon (Rabobank) and 2001 Paris-Roubaix winner Servais Knaven (Domo-Farm Frites). Odd man out was Latvian Raivis Belohvosciks (LAM), but the 26 year old time trial specialist had great legs today.
With 66 km to go, the band of seven had gained 6'00 and ONCE was joined in the chase by AG2R Prevoyance, who was in the hunt for another Jaan Kirsipuu stage win. The advantage dropped as the peloton pursued the escape across the bucolic bocage of central Brittany. Soon enough, the break came flying into Plouay and made the sharp right hander onto the Circuit Jean-Yves Perron, where huge holiday crowds lined the circuit and finish area.

Belohvosciks, perhaps inspired by his countryman Roman Vainsteins' win here in 2000 made multiple attacks in the last 10 km but with all the French and Dutch riders against him, it was no dice for the 26 year old with the almost unpronounceable name (say: Belovicks). Dekker and Kroon played the game perfectly and Kroon made his move on the left side of the uphill finish with 150 meters to go, just holding off Knaven, who whacked the bars in frustration while Dekker raised his hands behind his Rabobank team-mate Kroon.
Tomorrow the real GC race starts again with the 52 km individual time trial from Lanester to Plouay, around the grimy port city of Lorient and its hinterlands. ONCE's Mailliot Jaune Igor Gonzalez de Galdeano will be doing his best to hold off Lance Armstrong, who starts with a 34 second deficit on GC, and is very motivated to make that up. Also watch Americans Tyler Hamilton (CSC-Tiscali) and Levi Leipheimer (Rabobank), ONCE's Joseba Beloki, Lampre's Raimondas Rumsas, Tacconi's Dario Frigo, David Millar of Cofidis, Telekom's Bobby Julich and Fassa Bortolo's Serguei Gontchar.
