Stage 3 - June 11: Saint-Paul-en-Jarez - Saint-Heand ITT, 33,4 km
Armstrong better than ever
By Jeff Jones
 |
It took just four days in the Dauphiné Libéré for Lance Armstrong to recover his good racing legs and win a stage. In fact, in comparison to last year, where he came fifth in the prologue and second in the time trial, he is riding better than ever relative to the competition. Today's win was a superb display of strength, averaging over 40 km/h on the mostly uphill course between Saint-Paul-en-Jarez and Saint-Heand to beat David Millar (Cofidis) by 1'07 and race leader Iban Mayo (Euskaltel) by 1'26. The top three positions in the prologue were effectively reversed, and now Armstrong has a 1'01 lead on Millar in the general classification.
Before the stage, Armstrong commented that he wasn't necessarily here to win the Dauphiné, rather he was using it to see where he lay with respect to his rivals. As for the time trial, "That race doesn't lie," he said. "I don't have to win it to be satisfied, but of course the result is important for the morale."
Afterwards at the post-race press conference, Armstrong related that team manager Johan Bruyneel had told him that the team could use a boost after April, and today would be a good day to give a good message. "The aim was not to let my rivals see that I was in form," he said. "I really wanted to prove it to myself and to my teammates. I am sure that my team will work hard now to defend the leader's jersey."
 |
Armstrong's morale should be considerably higher now, as he put large amounts of time into Tour rivals such as Levi Leipheimer (7th at 2'45), Carlos Sastre (8th at 2'56), Christophe Moreau (14th at 3'26), and Tyler Hamilton (44th at 4'51, but recovering from a stomach problem). Some riders, such as Botero, Savoldelli, Ullrich, Simoni and Beloki, are not racing the Dauphiné, and will have to wait until the Tour for the real showdown, but for the others, today must have been a cold reality check.
The 33.4 km stage virtually started with the Cote De La Croix-Blanche, a second category climb measuring 9 km at 4.5%. It's not a particularly steep climb, with just one 800m section at 10%, but it did make for a very hard start to this race of truth. After that, the parcours descended then climbed to the Cote du Mont Morin (km 23.5), a 1.5 km climb at 6.5%.
 |
CSC's Andréa Peron set a good time of 52'34 early on, and that stood until Inigo Chaurreau (Ag2r) smashed it with a 51'31, closely followed by Didier Rous in 51'41. But when Armstrong came through nearly two minutes faster than Chaurreau, it was clear that the US Postal captain had a good ride. David Millar, who was next to start behind Armstrong, managed 50'39 but it wasn't good enough to unseat the American. Then when Euskaltel's Iban Mayo finished third in 50'59, it was clear who the boss was.
Armstrong will have to defend his jersey in tomorrow's tough stage between Vienne and Morzine, measuring 237 km. With 20 km to go there is the Cat. 1 Col de la Ramaz, a 14 km climb averaging 7.5%. This will be the next important test for Armstrong, with the Galibier stage to come on Saturday.
