O'Grady's moment in the sun

Petacchi not feeling good, but wins anyway

Australian champion Stuart O'Grady (Credit Agricole) muscled his way into the Paris-Nice leader's jersey after a fine, consistent performance in the first stage from Auxerre to Paray-le-Monial. Snatching small but valuable time bonuses en route to the finish, O'Grady was able to overhaul Nico Mattan on the general classification as well as hold off Alessandro Petacchi (Fassa Bortolo), who produced a very strong sprint to win the stage from Robbie McEwen (Lotto-Domo) and O'Grady.

For Petacchi, the stage win was a bit of a surprise, as the Fassa Bortolo rider admitted afterwards that, "I actually didn't feel that good today. Luckily my teammates led me out excellently for the finish, save for Kim Kirchen and Dario Frigo, who are protected for the GC."

"I dedicate this win to Denis Zanette," added Petacchi, in honour of his friend and teammate who died of a heart attack earlier this year.

How it unfolded

157 riders set out for a sunny 191 kilometre journey south between Auxerre and Paray-le-Monial, with Nico Mattan (Cofidis) resplendent in his yellow leader's jersey. The parcours was not overly difficult, containing a couple of small climbs as well as two intermediate sprints, that were worth 3, 2 and 1 seconds each. It was expected that the sprinters Stuart O'Grady and Alessandro Petacchi would race hard for these bonuses, as they both had good chances of taking the overall lead.

Indeed at the first sprint at Clamency (km 39), it was Petacchi (2nd) getting the better of O'Grady (3rd), with Jean Delatour's Yuriy Krivstov winning the sprint to take the three seconds. 10 km later, O'Grady's Credit Agricole teammate Stéphane Augé broke clear and spent the next 100 kilometres battling the wind on his own, gaining a maximum lead of 9'00 and picking up both mountain sprints along the way.

Augé was picked up by the peloton with 42 kilometres to race, and the stage took on a new look, with attack after attack being made, mainly by the French riders. Jean Delatour was particularly active, knowing how important Paris-Nice is for Tour de France selection. Ludovic Martin, Sébastien Joly, and then Eddy Seigneur were all involved in moves, with the latter staying away for a good 15 kilometres.

Seigneur took the final bonus sprint at km 167, followed by Petacchi and O'Grady (again), but was running out of legs fast as the tempo picked up behind him. At 20 km to go, a strong counter attack by Richard Virenque (Quick Step), Sébastien Joly (Jean Delatour) and Cedric Vasseur (Cofidis) managed to gain 30 seconds on the peloton, despite a hard chase by Credit Agricole.

The trio only started to lose ground when the other sprinter's teams such as Lotto-Domo, Quick.Step, Team fakta, and finally Fassa Bortolo got on the front of the bunch. But even with 4 kilometres to go it looked as though the trio might stay clear, holding a 16 second lead on the pack. It was then that the smooth cooperation was broken by Sébastien Joly, who powered away from Virenque and Vasseur in a bid for solo glory.

Joly kept it going until 700m to go, when he was caught and passed by the combined Quick.Step and Fassa Bortolo trains. In the sprint it was Tom Boonen who put his nose in front first, as Guido Trenti was performing his final leadout for Petacchi. The Italian jumped hard and quickly put a bike length between him and his rivals, as Stuart O'Grady and Robbie McEwen battled it out for second and third behind him. McEwen just pipped O'Grady on the line, but the Credit Agricole rider was rewarded for his hard work today with the yellow leader's jersey.

O'Grady will have a tough but not impossible time defending his yellow leader's jersey in tomorrow's second stage, 182.5 km from La Clayette to Saint-Etienne. The hilly stage includes three Cat. 3, one Cat. 2 and one Cat. 1 climbs, with the challenging ascent of the Croix de Chaubouret (1201m) coming at 18 km to go. The stage finishes at the bottom of the descent, meaning that being in the front group over the final climb will be critical.
