Stage 4 - June 10: Bédoin - Le Mont Ventoux ITT, 21.6 km
Mayo motors to record breaking Ventoux performance
Armstrong surprising fifth atop Ventoux
By Tim Maloney, European Editor in Bedoin
|
On a warm clear day where the le Mont Ventoux lived up to its windy reputation, Iban Mayo (Euskaltel-Euskadi) scaled the Olympus of Provence with a record-breaking performance, pulverized Colorado climber Jonathan Vaughters' five year old record of 56'50" by almost 1 minute and took back the race lead he captured at the Dauphiné prologue on Sunday in Megève. And the much anticipated mano a mano with Mayo and Lance Armstrong didn't materialize as the five time Tour de France champion was once again bested by his bete noir, Le Mont Ventoux.
"I thought Armstrong would be faster; I think it's a big surprise and maybe he had a bad day," said the happy Basque rider who now has command of the Dauphiné. Although he certainly wants to win in Grenoble on Sunday, Mayo is already looking past the Dauphiné to the Tour De France. "I want to recover well before the Tour and keep my fitness and my mental capacity as fresh as possible."
|
Although USPS-Berry Floor team director Johan Bruyneel told Cyclingnews before Stage 4 that, "I don't expect Lance to win today, Mayo is the favourite and maybe Hamilton", Bruyneel told us post-stage that "I'm a little disappointed; not in Lance, but in the differences between him and Mayo. It shows are still not ready for the Tour. Lance did what he could today. Mayo beat the record by almost a minute which is an incredible performance."
Jonathan Vaughters was on hand today to watch Iban Mayo smash his record and told Cyclingnews that "I expected my record to be broken today and I expected Mayo to do it." Vaughters also thought that. "Mayo would put a lot of time into Armstrong and that as a result, (Lance) would be pretty worried."
Armstrong lost five seconds per kilometre to Mayo today, which could be a sign that Lance doesn't have the legs he's had in previous years before the Tour. Or he could be pulling a rope-a-dope on the competition pre-Tour and not showing his game 100 percent.
Armstrong's coach Chris Carmichael recently called Lance "the master of psychological warfare" and his less than all-out performance on the Ventoux , just measured out enough to test himself but not go "au bloc", could fool his adversaries into thinking that Lance was in trouble. But with forty days still to go before the Tour De France's crucial l'Alpe d'Huez mountain time trial, Armstrong must still be considered the overwhelming favourite to win.

The runner-up to Mayo was Tyler Hamilton (Phonak), who also beat Vaughters record today. Once again, the Man from Marblehead showed his New England granite will and great legs on his new team. "We're very happy with the way things went today", said the pleased Phonak director Jacques Michaud, as his team put Hamilton in second, Sevilla in third and a total of five riders in the top 13.
As for Hamilton, he seems to be doing well with his new team and is clearly ready for the Tour de France. "It's clear that Mayo is in top form now; he's very strong. For me today, my time wasn't as important as how I felt and I felt good...the sensations were positive. I came here to make two tests, the prologue and the TT and I was second in both of them." As for his former teammate and Gerona neighbour Lance Armstrong, Hamilton said "He's still the favourite for the Tour De France."
With his wife Odessa and new puppy Bandit awaiting atop le Mont Ventoux, Levi Leipheimer (Rabobank) was an solid 8th place, but the Santa Rosa, CA. native was not very happy with his performance today. A disappointed Leipheimer told Cyclingnews that "It's a little bit of a blow to the morale to get caught (by Oscar Sevilla), you know. I didn't feel super today and I really suffered on the steep parts. I have a lot of work to do."
His Rabobank teammate Michael "Chicken" Rasmussen was 9th, 0'12 behind Levi and was also disappointed today. "I was going good at the start, but probably had too much sugar in my bottle since I was getting stomach cramps. So I had two choices today: drink and get cramps, or not drink, so I didn't take a bottle for the last 15km."
Fourth American was Floyd Landis, who finished just 63 hundredths of a second over one hour in 14 spot. "Yeah, it was everything I expected today; Ventoux was long and hard and hot at the bottom. It went well for me; I felt good but it was nothing spectacular."

Tomorrow in the Village Depart in Bollene, Iban Mayo will be awarded his weight on the local Berlingots de Carpentras candy, but the ambitious Basque rider will have to be content with wearing the Maillot Jaune-Bleu leader's jersey of the Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré into Grenoble. But with the Tour just over the horizon and two prestigious wins like l'Alpe d'Huez and now le Mont Ventoux under his belt, Iban Mayo and his Euskatel-Euskadi team will be looking to bring their winning ways to Paris on July 25th. But not if Lance Armstrong can help it.
Stage 5 - June 11: Bollene-Sisteron, 149km
With Iban Mayo back in the Maillot Jaune/Blue of the Criterium du Dauphiné Libéré lead, Euskaltel-Euskadi will be firmly in control on this transitional stage across the Vaucluse, Drome and into the Alps of Haute Provence.
