Stage 1 - June 9: Meaudre - Vaison-la-Romaine, 198 km
Stoianov wins stage 2 in sprint
By Jeff Jones
 |
Bulgarian Plamen Stoianov (Big.Mat) took advantage of a crash in the final 500m to win the first stage of the Dauphine Libéré in Vaison-la-Romaine. Stoianov beat FDJeux.com's Brad McGee (whose teammate Baden Cooke was involved in the crash) with Walter Beneteau (Brioches la Boulangère) taking third. Race leader Iban Mayo was fifth in the stage, and kept his blue and yellow leader's jersey.
The first road stage started in Meaudre and featured a couple of Cat. 3 and Cat. 4 climbs in the first two thirds of the race. The final 75 km was downhill however, and the stage was expected to be an opportunity for the sprinters. That didn't prevent it from being a very attacking start, with 18 riders getting away after around 30 km.
 |
The group included Andy Flickinger and Christophe Oriol (AG2R), Vicente Garcia Acosta (iBanesto), Christophe Mengin and Baden Cooke (FDJeux.com), Victor Hugo Peña, Viatcheslav Ekimov and Manuel Beltran (US Postal), Franck Renier (Brioches), Andréa Brognara (Alessio), Médéric Clain (Cofidis), Yannick Talabardon (Big Mat Auber 93), Pierrick Fedrigo (Credit Agricole), Iker Camano, Cyril Dessel (Phonak), Samuel Dumoulin and Christophe Edaleine (Jean Delatour), and hovered between one and two minutes in front of the Euskaltel-led peloton.
Gradually the large leading group reduced in size, after Edaleine and Dessel attacked at 87 km. They were chased by Mengin, Ekimov, Poilvet, Renier, Flickinger, Camano and Clain, who caught them just after the sprint at km 130. With 9 km to go, Flickinger and Renier attacked to try and hold off the peloton, but were caught in the final kilometre of the stage, paving the way for a mass sprint.
 |
FDJeux.com had Baden Cooke well positioned on Brad McGee's wheel in the last kilometre, which was slightly uphill. However a few riders, including Laurent Brochard, were interested in taking Cooke's place, and a crash was the result. McGee kept his head in front and was only passed by Stoianov for the win, meaning that he gained some bonus seconds to move him into third on GC.
Tomorrow's second stage from Bollène to Vienne is another chance for Cooke and the other sprinters, as it contains few climbs during its 195 kilometres.
