Jens again!
Voigt takes third stage and final victory
By Chris Henry in Charleville-Mézières

Jens Voigt didn't disappoint in Sunday afternoon's third and final stage of the Critérium International, a short time trial of 8.3 kilometres following the morning's hilly road stage. The stage win gave the tall German his third time trial victory in the Critérium, and his second overall title in the 'mini Tour de France', which brought together such heads of state as Lance Armstrong, Alexandre Vinokourov, Tyler Hamilton, and Joseba Beloki, to name a few. Voigt also found extra motivation on his mother's birthday, and he'll have plenty of flowers to offer her as a result.
"Days like this are very rare in my life, and it may be the last time in my life that I win two races in one day," Voigt said after donning the final yellow jersey. "When the form is there I have to make the most of it. I worked as a teammate in the Tour Meditérranéen and at Paris-Nice, where Jörg Jaksche was our leader, and this time it was my turn. I owe the team a big thanks, [my teammates] did an incredible amount of work for me."

A crisp spring morning turned into a perfect afternoon, and under a bright blue sky Voigt carried the yellow jersey into Charleville Mézière's Place Ducale in 10'12", outpacing José Ivan Gutierrez (Illes Balears-Banesto) by a mere 23 hundredths of a second. World time trial champion David Millar was third, 1.35 seconds back, while Americans Armstrong and Julich rounded out the top five. Gutierrez was also second in the general classification, while Armstrong's ride moved him into third place overall, a solid performance in his build up to the Tour de France and a bid for a sixth consecutive victory.
Voigt's team manager Bjarne Riis once more expressed his satisfaction after a perfect race by his tightly-knit team. The former Tour de France winner once more praised his riders for their hard work and selfless efforts. After the Tour Med and Paris-Nice, Riis can add another major stage race to his 2004 palmarès.
"I knew it would be a good spring for us, because with all of the new riders we had a strong team that could get some big results, but to win three big races like this is incredible," Riis told Cyclingnews. "That's not easy..."
