USPS Dominates Tour De France
By Tim Maloney, European editor in La Mongie
 |
In a tremendous show of power, Lance Armstrong and his USPS team took control of the Tour De France today on a tumultuous day where all four category leaders jerseys changed hands. Armstrong and his best team ever shattered the Tour dreams of Manolo Saiz and the ONCE team, dropping the Maillot Jaune Gonzalez de Galdeano on the final climb up the Col de Tourmalet to the ski resort of La Mongie. Armstrong won the stage, his 13th career TDF stage win, the most of any active rider.
"I thought there might be more attacks on the Aubisque, but that didn't happen," said the newly yellow-clad Armstrong in a post race interview. "Everyone on the team was great today. We thought about winning the stage and taking the (yellow) jersey. But there was never a time a time when we said 'lets go'. But the race is way too open to say it's won. If you have a bad day, you can still lose 5 minutes in the mountains."
Second placed Beloki commented that he was "very happy with this first encounter with the mountains. It was a stage in which I was close to taking a victory, but it was not to be. I finished very well and the speed that we were climbing it was impossible to try a change of pace...Armstrong did not attack because the tempo of Roberto was too strong."
How it unfolded
 |
After a moment of silence in Pau for Melvin Pompele, the 7 year old run over yesterday by the TDF publicity caravan, Stage 11 commenced once again with a fast, aggressive action as the peloton left Pau just after noon on a hot, humid summer day. After multiple attacks on the road to the Hors Categorie Col d'Aubisque, a group of nine got away on the first cat. 4 climb if the day. Laurent Jalabert made his move from this break on the base of the Aubisque and dumped everyone except David Etxebarria (EUS). But the petit Basque couldn't hold Jalabert's wheel and the man from Mazamet was soon "un homme seul en tete" 5km from the summit of the Aubisque.
The USPS led peloton was riding tempo 2'00 behind Jaja, with Pavel Padrnos and Chechu Rubiera on the front, while ex-mountain bikers Floyd Landis and Miguel Martinez were having a bad day and came off the main group, eventually finishing in a large group 21 minutes down.
Jaja crested the Aubisque, where he won the Souvenir Jacques Goddet and dropped down the mountain via the Col de Soulor, with Etxebarria at 1'17". The peloton still trailed at 2'00, with yesterdays stage winner Patrice Halgand took the KOM sprint for 2nd, thus grabbing sufficient points to take over the Maillot Pois from Mengin (FDJ).
On the long descent to the feed zone in Ayros-Arbouix, Danish Champion Michael Sandstød (CST) crashed out of the race, while Australian Brad McGee (FDJ) and Jens Voigt (CA) both went down and both got back to the peloton, as did Oscar Sevilla (KEL) after a puncture.
 |
Jaja increased his advantage across the Valee d'Arens in the heart of the ancient Kingdom of the Cathars; 3'55" lead in Juncalas for the CSC-Tiscali rider, but USPS had upped the tempo behind with 50km to go. At Neuilh with 40km to race, Jaja's lead began to drop. The peloton was toying with the Frenchman, but Jaja just kept his regular tempo. Beloki (ONC) changed his bike for a lighter climbing bike as many of the riders who were distanced on the Aubisque had come back to the now 70 strong peloton.
As the final climb of the day up the Col du Tourmalet loomed over the Vallee de Campan, Jaja's cruise control had brought his lead back up to 3'20" at the Points sprint in Bagneres-de-Bigorre with 26 km to go. Another jersey changed hands, as Erik Zabel (TEL) took the sprint points behind Jaja and re-claimed the Maillot Vert. Jaja was beginning to tire now from his long solo effort, as he began stretching his hamstrings and lower back.
USPS was hammering behind, trying to keep things together and make the first mountain stage hard for everyone. Under the 20km to go arch, Jaja maintained his advantage as his break was had become a solo epic of 90 km. Through Sainte-Marie-de-Campan, where 89 years ago Eugene Christophe made his famous fork repair in a local blacksmith's shop, Jalabert rode his hi-tech carbon fiber bike through the tiny village still 3'00 ahead of the USPS led peloton.
As Jalabert began to struggle on the first slopes of the Tourmalet, the 13km climb up to the ski resort of La Mongie began for the peloton. Italian Ivan Basso had sneaked away just before the climb began, while another French Laurent, Mr. Lefevre (DEL), tried an attack from the accelerating group. The inexorable tempo of US Postal soon brought the 26 year old back, and the American squad maintained mega-tempo to avoid any improvised attacks, while David Millar (COF) was dropped from the front group.
Halfway up the Tourmalet, the war of attrition was well underway. Chechu Rubiera rode an infernal pace up front as the USPS plan began to work; make the first day in the mountains as hard as possible and let god sort out the rest. The list of victims started with Julich (TEL), who quickly joined by Boogerd (RAB), Frigo (TAC), Menchov (BAN) and Moreau (CA), who all came off with 7km to go. Next to fall were Monday's Stage 9 winner Santi Botero and Oscar Sevilla (KEL) with 6km left.
With 5.5km to race, the USPS plan came to fruition big time. All the mega tempo on the first mountain stage by USPS finally took its toll on the Maillot Jaune Gonzalez de Galdeano, as the Basque rider suddenly cracked, along with Unai Osa (BAN).
 |
With 5km to go, Jaja still had 1'40" on the chasers, but he was fading fast. Chasing behind, Rubiera had pulled off and Roberto Heras upped the pace with Armstrong , dropping everyone else except ONCE's Beloki. "When Roberto went, he was absolutely flying. I was hurting," said Armstrong. This trio caught the fading Jalabert with 3km to go as Heras led the way for Armstrong, with Beloki glued to the American's wheel as usual.
Maniacal Basque crowds waved their Ikkurina flags at Beloki with 2 km to go, but the ONCE man could only cling to Armstrong's wheel. Nearing La Mongie and with a 1'45" lead on Gonzalez de Galdeano, the American had already become virtual Maillot Jaune, as the current Maillot Jaune continued slip backwards, with only his ONCE team mate Azevedo left to help him.
 |
Armstrong launched his stage winning sprint from 200 meters as he took his 5th win of the season at La Mongie, but gave major credit to his USPS team-mate Roberto Heras. "I have to say honestly that I didn't have the legs to attack today. It was Roberto who made the difference. He made the pace and all I had to do was follow. But I felt a lot better at the end of the stage than the beginning. The weather report said 16 degrees but I think it was a lot hotter than that."
Beloki and Gonzalez de Galdeano are now in 2nd and 3rd on GC, both within two minutes of Armstrong. Big day at La Mongie today for fifth place Raimondas Rumsas (LAM), who has not made a mistake this TDF and is now lying 4th in GC, with a real shot at the podium in Paris. Ivan Basso's (FAS) excellent 7th place on Stage 11 has put him in the Best Young Rider's jersey and 8th on GC, while the courageous Laurent Jalabert (CST) ended up 9th on the stage and moved from 18th to 12th on GC.
Danger man Santi Botero stayed in 5th on GC, but lost over 2'00 to new Maillot Jaune Armstrong. Francesco Mancebo (BAN) was 4th today and jumped 10 places on GC from 20th into 10th. Levi Leipheimer (RAB) had a decent day today, finishing 24th on the stage, but moving up 7 places on GC to 15th, while Tyler Hamilton (CST) finished behind Leipheimer in 28th, slipping from to 9th to 11th. With the top 12 riders within 6' of each other, the 2002 Tour De France is by no means wrapped up.
