Stage 3 - June 19: Nyon - Saas Fee, 205 km
Casagrande wins first mountain stage
Vino stays in yellow - just
By Jeff Jones
 |
Francesco Casagrande (Lampre) proved himself to be the strongest climber in today's first mountain stage of the Tour de Suisse, which finished atop the 1808m climb of Saas Fee. The Italian attacked with three kilometres to go, taking race leader Alexandre Vinokourov and Tadej Valjavec with him, before dropping them in the final two kilometres to win the stage. Vinokourov finished third behind Kim Kirchen, and kept his yellow jersey by just six seconds.
How it unfolded
The third stage from Nyon to Saas Fee was for the most part flat, thus the peloton was content to play a waiting game until the final climb. Only Belgian Peter Wuyts (Palmans-Collstrop) decided that he didn't want to wait until the finish, and attacked after 18 kilometres. Wuyts rode very strongly to establish a 20'43" lead after 96 kilometres, averaging around 42 km/h while the bunch cruised steadily along behind him.
It was a long hot stage however, and the peloton began to ride harder in the second half, led by Jan Ullrich's Bianchi team, Vinokourov's Telekom squad and Alex Zülle's Phonak boys. Wuyts had started the day in 116th position, over 9 minutes behind on GC, but the heat was starting to tell on him and he began to lose time.
 |
With 45 km to go, his lead was still over 15 minutes, and it seemed quite possible that he could hang on for the stage win. He started the final climb with around 12 minutes lead, needing to maintain his tempo for the final 20 km of uphill. It was clear that he was having a really tough time on the climb, and the kilometres ticked by too slowly as his once huge advantage began to diminish rapidly.
The action behind was started by Paolo Bettini (Quick.Step) who attacked with 15 km to go to try and sneak off the front. He managed a 30" lead before being brought back by the efforts of Ullrich and Zülle's teams. With 11 kilometres to go, Wuyts now had 7'02 and was suffering as the climb got steeper.
Niki Aebersold (Phonak) set a high tempo that reduced the field down to 40 riders, before Jan Ullrich himself accelerated with 6 km to go to drop half the bunch. He was closely marked by Vinokourov, who managed to take 2 bonus seconds for coming second in the final sprint in Saas Balen. With 3 km to go, Casagrande put in his first attack, and only Vinokourov and Tadej Valjavec (Fassa Bortolo) could go with him. The attack spelled the end of Wuyts' long effort, as the Belgian was caught and passed with 2.5 km to go.
 |
Casagrande accelerated again, dropping Valjavec and then Vinokourov, and he powered over the final two kilometres to take the stage win. Behind him, a chase group formed with Vinokourov, Valjavec, Kim Kirchen and Sven Montgomery (both Fassa), which managed to limit the damage to Casagrande. Kirchen was the strongest, taking second in the stage 13 seconds behind Casagrande, while Vino took third at 18 seconds, and thus held onto the lead.
Tomorrow's fourth stage from Visp to Losone includes the mighty Nufenenpass (2478m). However it comes relatively early in the stage (60 km), and things should regroup on the descent before the finish.
