Vive la resistance: USPS hangs tough in Tour's longest day
Botero grabs second stage victory
By Tim Maloney, European editor in Les Deux Alpes
 |
Santi Botero's dreams of the Tour De France podium ended two days ago on Le Mont Ventoux when he lost almost a quarter of an hour on the race leaders, but Kelme's versatile Colombian took his second stage of the 2002 Tour De France Today in Les Deux Alpes, attacking from a seven man break that he had started 166 km before. After another super-rapid stage that finished almost 30 minutes faster than the organizers fastest expectations, the exuberant Botero crossed the finish line with an average speed of 38.253 km/h!
"I had a good rhythm today", said blue-eyed Botero. "The break worked well all day. The Tour isn't mathematics; some days things go well and other days, not so well. You can have a physical problem or a (mechanical) breakdown. So today I'm happy that things went well and I was able to win the stage."
Maillot Jaune Lance Armstrong (USPS) finished the stage in 9th, 6'41" behind Botero, with his chief rivals Beloki and Rumsas. His USPS team rode strongly all day across the rugged, rolling terrain in the hills and valleys of the Haute Alpes de Provence.
"The team was very strong, very solid today. The final climb up Deux Alpes is not too special. It's not too hard and quite fast - not a good place to attack," said the American.
How it unfolded
 |
Today's stage started in the olive growing region north of the former Roman town of Vaison la Romaine and traversed the olive growing region of northern Provence into the seldom visited bocage Diois. It was another fast start today in what is turning out to be the fastest Tour De France in history. An incredible 48.3 km was covered in the first hour, before three riders escaped just before the first KOM up to the cat. 3 Col de Premol at the 68.5 km mark. Colombian Santi Botero was on the attack and since the Kelme man's legs had finally shown up, he was looking to prove something on this first Alpine stage, the same Alps where he had ridden so well in the Dauphiné Libéré a month ago.
Botero took Lotto man Mario Aerts along for the ride and soon the compact Colombian and longlined Belgian were away. USPS was still keeping a lid on things but on the tricky, technical descent, five other riders bridged to the front duo. Behind the break, the hapless Christophe Moreau (CA) crashed hard, his fourth at this year's Tour, and abandoned.
At the first sprint at Luc-en-Diois, there were seven riders together; Botero, Aerts, Axel Merckx (DFF), Martin Hvastija (ALS), Sandy Casar (FDJ.Com), Emmanuel Magnien (BJR) and Garcia Acosta (BAN). The peloton was more interested in having a drink than chasing so they sat up before the sprint and the break was gone for good.
Botero and Merckx powered affairs today and quickly gained time on the now cruise-control peloton. Up the sinuous Gorges De Gats to the day's second KOM on the Col De Grimone, the break had already gained almost 9'00 on the USPS led peloton. Key tempo man Pavel Padrnos (USPS) had a flat on this winding climb, but a quick bike change saw the powerful Czech quickly back in the main bunch.
The break maintained their margin across the storybook countryside of the Drome Provencal, just south of the WW2 stronghold of the Maquis, the French Resistance. But the blue and white train of Team USPS, with it's yellow caboose of Maillot Jaune Armstrong kept things on track for Armstrong's bid for a fourth consecutive Tour win.

Up front in the break, Merckx was strong all day, winning all the KOM's but one along the way. As the seven front runners dropped off the long, narrow decent of the penultimate Col d'Ornon into the Romanche river valley and made the right hand turn onto the N91, the peloton was still 9'00 behind the escape with 25 km to race. Botero was looking strong, his powerful, compact frame hunched over his bike, while Axel Merckx pounded away in a style reminiscent of his father Eddy. Fellow Belgian Mario Aerts, accomplished climber and winner of Fleche Wallone was playing it cagey as the break sped through Bourg d'Oisans, past the road to L'Alpe d'Huez and started the climb to Les Deux Alpes.
After first Merckx and Aerts had a go and blew the break to bits, Botero waited until 8.5 km to go and launched his successful counter-offensive to ride to a solo win, 1'51" ahead of Aerts and 2'30" over the generous Merckx who powered the break all day. As for the top GC men, third place overall Rumsas (LAM) led the Maillot Jaune and Beloki across the line 6'41" down on the Colombian.
 |
Botero was a big winner on GC today, moving up 11 places from 18th to 7th, putting pressure on Levi Leipheimer's quest for the top five. The Colombian also moved up to 3rd in the KOM chase, jumping past Richard Virenque and putting major pressure on current Maillot Pois Laurent Jalabert.
The Maillot Vert of Best Sprinter is still a tie between Robbie McEwen (LOT) and perennial green man Erik Zabel (TEL), but the next time both speedsters will have a shot at their mano a mano contest should be the first sprint after 10 km of Thursday's Stage 17. Bad Boy Ivan Basso, still sporting his Maillot Blanc of Best Young Rider continues to confirm his class, with a good chance to maintain his top 10 GC spot all the way to Paris.
