Boogerd Boogie-Woogies to win in La Plagne
Armstrong gains more time on Beloki
By Tim Maloney, European editor in La Plagne
 |
Weaving and bobbing like an exhausted prizefighter, Michael Boogerd (Rabobank) crossed the finish line today in La Plagne after his courageous and ultimately successful break. The incredulous Dutchman kissed his golden cross and fell into the arms of his girlfriend Nerena and his mother-in-law (wearing her "Boogerd Groupie" t-shirt) who covered him with well-deserved kisses. With his second stage win of the '02 Tour De France for Rabobank, the talented but often criticized for his inconsistent riding Boogerd showed determination and tenacity stay ahead to win Stage 16 by 1'25" over fast closing Carlos Sastre and Lance Armstrong.
"I have always dreamed of winning a mountain stage in the Tour De France and now I've made it - this is the best day of my career," spouted a pleased Boogerd after the stage.
Once again at La Plagne, the American Maillot Jaune increased his lead on 2nd place Joseba Beloki (ONCE), gaining another 35" to move 5'06' ahead of the fading Basque. "It was a very hard stage today," said Armstrong in a post race press conference, as the sycophant Prince Albert of Monaco hovered nearby. "We had a good rhythm on the Madeleine and that kept it close."
How it unfolded
 |
With the downhill start from Les Deux-Alpes neutralized this morning, Stage 16 started out with a tailwind up the back side of the relentless hors categorie Col du Galibier (33.7km/4.7%) via the Col du Lauteret, where the Souvenir Henri Desgranges (highest point in the TDF at 2645 meters) awaited the peloton. As the slope became steeper, Italian climber Marzio Bruseghin started the hostilities, but was quickly countered by a group containing Laurent Jalabert (CSC), yesterday's stage winner Santi Botero (Kelme), Azevedo, Nozal and Pradera (ONCE), Blanco and Osa (iBanesto) and Boogerd. Botero surged powerfully 1 km from the summit to take the KOM points and 3,000 euro cash prize for Souvenir Henri Desgranges.
Lots of action as the first break looked like they might stay away, but by the base of the Galibier in Valloire after 52km, a determined USPS team had chased down the dangerous break containing three ONCE's, including Azevedo, 6th on GC. All but one, that is, as an even more determined Michael Boogerd attacked just before the start of the short climb up to the Col de la Telegraphe.
 |
"I got in the first break but there were too many riders high on the classement," said Boogerd post race. Boogerd had good legs today and went solo after Valloire, then Stuey O'Grady came across, careening down the Telegraphe, along with Telekom watchdog Gian Matteo Fagnini (Telekom) and Robert Hunter (Mapei). Behind the Boogerd group, another counter-attack had formed, with Jalabert, Miguel Martinez (Mapei), Axel Merckx (Domo), Gutierrez, (Kelme), Iban Mayo (Euskaltel) and two Ludos; Turpin (Ag2r) and Dierckxsens (Lampre).
As the fast, twisting descent of the Col de Telegraphe ended and the break passed the massive aluminum smelter in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, a strong headwind was blowing up the Arc River valley that enabled the front four to stay away from the Jaja-led chasers. O'Grady's main goal was to win the sprint points in Saint-Arvre, just at the base of the second climb of the day, the Col de la Madeleine. But Boogerd hammered hard in the front group since he had another, bigger goal in mind: stage win.
This quartet was 1'40" ahead of the Jaja group, with the peloton cruising along 7'10" behind at mid-race with 90km to go. As the south face up the Col de la Madeleine (19.3km/7.9%) started, Boogerd made his next big move and quickly dumped the others to make another solo move up the mountain.
 |
The Rabobank man went for his second solo spree on the Alpine roads of France, but there was a long way to go to La Plagne. Boogerd passed the summit of the long hors categorie Madeleine climb with 3'20" on the Jalabert group, with other chasers down the mountain and on the USPS led peloton at 8'45". Jalabert took the mountain points for second, further securing his grip on the Maillot Pois lead.
Boogerd bombed the long, tricky Madeleine descent to Aigueblanche and with 37km left to race, the flying Dutchman was looking good for a win. Aided by a tailwind along the Isere River valley leading to Aime and the final ascent to La Plagne, the break wasn't closing down on Boogerd and the peloton was still riding tempo behind.
Boogerd pounded through the 2nd sprint at Aime at the base of La Plagne with 3'10" in hand on the Jaja chase group of six; the Maillot Pois, Mini Mig, Turpin, Mayo and O'Grady and Merckx, but he was clearly tiring. Stuey took the second place sprint points again to move within 49 points of the Maillot Vert lead.
Boogerd started the 17.3 km final ascent to La Plagne with 5'00 in hand on the chasers, but the Maillot Jaune's group had increased their tempo and was closing down fast at 6'00.
"When I started (the climb), I was thinking they would catch me," said Boogerd. "But my legs weren't too tired so my sport director told me to keep up a good tempo. When I heard that Sastre and Armstrong were coming up, I was just suffering and fighting to win the stage."
 |
And Boogerd had to fight hard for his biggest stage ever, as the hungry hunters of the classement generale were looking to blow the race apart on the final climb. The remains of the break started to come back on the final climb and with 12km to go, Boogerd was still 5'00 ahead of Mayo, while Carlos Sastre (CSC) had attacked from the group Maillot Jaune, and was coming after Boogerd hard. Sastre was closing on Boogerd, while behind him, Chechu Rubiera was riding hard tempo to set up the final move by Armstrong. With 5km to go, the Maillot Jaune decided that the moment was right to make his own move from the now diminished chase group.
Armstrong blasted right off the front, leaving Beloki in his dust as the Maillot Jaune tried to get up to Sastre and Boogerd, respectively 2'10" and 2'40" ahead. Armstrong closed the gap on Sastre in 2km and the Spaniard stayed with the American, while Boogerd held on to win by 1'25". Valliant Joseba Beloki hung tough to only lose 35" on Armstrong, while the Basque rider's nemesis, third place Raimondas Rumsas (Lampre) wasn't able to attack the ONCE rider's runner-up spot.
Laurent Jalabert was only 42nd on the stage, but his 2nd and 3rd places on two of the three Hors Categorie KOM's further padded his lead over Santi Botero in the race for the Maillot Pois.
As for Stage 17, "Tomorrow is a complex stage," said Maillot Jaune Armstrong. "It's up and down all day without any flat sections. It's almost the same stage where I cracked in 2000. It will be another hard day."
