96th Paris-Tours - CDMFrance, October 6, 2002Main Page Start List Map Results Complete Live ReportStart time: 11:10 CEST 14:00 CEST With the World Cup standings so close this year between Paolo Bettini (272 pts) and Johan Museeuw (270 pts), Paris-Tours is a crucial race for both riders. A clear advantage gained here will be hard to overcome in the last round, the Giro di Lombardia on October 19. Both Bettini and Museeuw are favourites to win this race, with Bettini probably have the best form at the moment - he beat Mario Cipollini in a bunch sprint in the Giro di Lucca a few days ago, so look out. Further down the World Cup standings we have Igor Astarloa (Saeco) in third on 152 points, Michele Bartoli (Fassa) on 142 points and Dario Frigo (Tacconi) on 136 points. With a really good performance in the final rounds, any one of these riders could take the World Cup as well. The weather today is cool and windy, with rain clearing at the start to give the riders sunny skies. 14:10 CEST - 126 km After 40 km, the break had 2'50 on the peloton, and this grew to 7'50 at the 85 km mark. Cegarra was 3'30 behind them at that point. 14:30 CEST 14:43 CEST 15:00 CEST - 171 km/83 km to go There are three riders chasing them at 5'47: Olivier Asmaker (CSC), Jean Michel Tessier (Cofidis), and Sebastian Lang (Gerolsteiner) 15:10 CEST - 178 km/76 km to go The peloton has started to wake up a little, with a Fassa Bortolo rider and a few Acqua e Sapone riders getting to the front. They'll have to work hard though. 15:19 CEST - 186 km/68 km to go The three chasers - Asmaker, Tessier and Lang - are at 4'55, while the peloton is still at 7'10. Telekom and Fassa Bortolo are leading the chase with a little more urgency now. 15:24 CEST - 191 km/63 km to go 15:30 CEST - 196 km/58 km to go 4'30 behind them are three riders: Sebastian Lang (Gerolsteiner), Olivier Asmaker (CSC) and Jean Michel Tessier (Cofidis). The peloton is at 6'30, led by FDJeux.com(?), Fassa Bortolo, Telekom, Mapei and Acqua e Sapone. 15:37 CEST - 201 km/53 km to go Durand extols his companions to continue working hard, and casts a number of suspicious looks at Glenn d'Hollander, who returns them impassively. The gaps: 3'49 to the three chasers, and 5'49 to the peloton. 15:45 CEST - 206 km/48 km to go Frank Vandenbroucke (Domo-Farm Frites) has abandoned, because of a fall in the peloton a few minutes ago. 15:55 CEST - 214 km/40 km to go Oscar Sevilla (Kelme) has abandoned. 16:02 CEST - 219 km/35 km to go 16:08 CEST - 223 km/31 km to go The peloton is still led by Telekom, Acqua e Sapone and Fassa Bortolo. 16:12 CEST - 225 km/29 km to go Mancebo is dropped as Durand accelerates on a climb. There are now four leaders: Durand, Piil, Dumoulin and d'Hollander, who is working now. 16:20 CEST - 220 km/24 km to go Paolo Bettini (Mapei) is very close to the front, hoping to stay out of trouble and finish ahead of Museeuw. 16:25 CEST - 224 km/20 km to go One of the pre race favourites, Robbie McEwen told French TV this morning that Bartoli was the man to watch, not Cipo et. al. The sprinters would watch each other and Bartoli stood the best chance to escape at the end. 16:28 CEST - 226 km/18 km to go 16:33 CEST - 230 km/14 km to go 16:34 CEST - 231 km/13 km to go 16:37 CEST - 234 km/10 km to go Jaan Kirsipuu was one of the favourites for the win today, but it looks as though he'll miss out. "If it arrives in a sprint, it's not so important to be well-placed at the start of the (2km) finishing straight, because it's very long and it's easier to move up. One must be well-placed at the right moment," he said. 16:40 CEST - 237 km/7 km to go The Fassa Bortolo peloton hits the climb, 1'50 behind the leaders and 1'25 behind d'Hollander and Dumoulin. Bartoli attacks, somewhat predictably. A teammate - Petacchi? comes with him. Tom Boonen is also chasing them. 16:43 CEST - 239 km/5 km to go Petacchi and Bartoli are 1'14 behind the two leaders at the climb, so they have a chance of catching d'Hollander and Dumoulin. Johan Museeuw has caught Bartoli and Petacchi on the climb! 16:47 CEST - 241 km/3 km to go Piil is at the front, and Durand is sitting on him. 16:49 CEST - 243 km/1 km to go 16:51 CEST - 244 km/0 km to go The peloton has caught everyone else, and it's Zabel who wins the sprint from Rene Haselbacher and Romans Vainsteins. Paolo Bettini gained some more points for the World Cup, and he now has 279 points compared to Museeuw's 270. One more round, meaning that Museeuw is going to have to have an incredible ride in Lombardy to win.
