Frigo beats the breeze, takes race lead
By Chris Henry
 |
Just as race leader Davide Rebellin did two days ago in Saint Etienne, Italian Dario Frigo (Fassa Bortolo) has done the double, taking today's stage and assuming the overall lead. Today's stage was a completely flat time trial over a relatively short distance of 16.5km. Frigo won by eight seconds ahead of ONCE's Jorg Jaksche, and thirteen seconds ahead of CSC's Tyler Hamilton, who set the early mark to beat.
"The wind was very strong, but at the end I was able to make the difference," Frigo explained at the finish, still regaining his breath from the intense effort. The soigneurs' work done, Frigo climbed the podium steps a few moments later to accept both the stage winner's prize and the race leader's yellow jersey.
Although the parcours lacked any change in elevation to test the riders, the crucial component was a headwind which largely affected the second half of the course. Riders who set too quick a pace on what on paper was an easy course were often knocked out of contention as they faded in the face of the stiff breeze.

After an impressive second place in Sunday's prologue, Hamilton felt the effects of his six and half months out of competition, losing over six minutes on the road to Saint Etienne. Today was a chance for the American to make amends, on a course well suited to his powerful time trial style. Setting off well before the main protagonists for this year's general classification, Hamilton set the fastest time at the mid-race check point, before knocking nearly 30 seconds off of the previous best time set by ONCE's Mikel Pradera. This would be the mark to beat for the rest of the race.
The first to challenge Hamilton was Quick-Step's Frank Vandenbroucke, showing continued good form against the clock. Vandenbroucke caught his minute man, former world champion Oscar Camenzind, but for a while was unable to muster enough speed to pass the Swiss rider. Coming out of a corner, Vandenbroucke managed to power past Camenzind and carry on to finish a mere fraction of a second by Hamilton. Vandenbroucke made up nearly four seconds on Hamilton over the second half of the course, but it wasn't enough.

Just as Hamilton's time began to look more and more like the possible winner, ONCE's Jorg Jaksche powered down the home stretch to prove otherwise, taking five seconds out of the American. Only five riders remained after Jaksche: Botcharov, ONCE teammate Zarrabeitia, Frigo, Vinokourov, and yellow jersey Rebellin. Of these five, the likely candidate for victory was clearly Frigo, although the 2001 Paris-Nice winner was already 11 seconds behind at the first time check.
Experience paid for Frigo, however, as his off-the mark early pace was in fact a reflection of his decision not to go too hard in the first half of the race. Into the headwind and the second half of the parcours, Frigo made up his 11 second deficit and gained a further 8 seconds on Jaksche, all in the span of 8 km.
Frigo now leads Paris-Nice with an advantage of 14 seconds over Telekom's Vinokourov, who himself had a solid ride to take eighth on the stage. ONCE's Mikel Zarrabeitia moved into third overall after a fine fifth place finish. Tomorrow the race heads to the slopes of the Mont Faron, where the peloton will once again have to find its climbing legs. Frigo knows his race is far from won, and sees tomorrow as a potentially decisive stage.
"I'll have to wait for the Mont Faron," he said. "Only at the summit of Mont Faron will I have an idea whether or not I can win Paris-Nice. Tomorrow I have to take a defensive role. It's up to the others to attack me to try to take the jersey."
Vinokourov, devasted a day ago by the loss of his close friend Kivilev, has a newfound determination in his effort to defend his Paris-Nice title. Telekom spokesman Luuc Eisenga relayed his team leader's thoughts to Cyclingnews Thursday evening. "I know that (Kivilev) wanted to win Paris-Nice," Vinokourov said. "I thought about giving up, but now I have to win... for him. I'm more motivated than ever."
