Local lad makes the grade: Moncoutié solos home

With a dramatic attack in the closing stages of Stage 11, Cofidis rider David Moncoutié took the second consecutive stage win by a French rider at this year's Tour today in Figeac. Although he was born near Paris and lives near Toulouse, Moncoutié's family is from the local region of Lot and his father was once postmaster of nearby Brenetou before being transferred to Paris by La Poste.

The delighted 29 year-old Moncoutié, who was the best French rider at the Tour in 2002 (13th), gushed in his post-race interview that "To win a stage of the Tour is great but to win one here in my home region is unbelievable. I can't believe it..."

Describing his race winning attack on the hill to Saint-Jean-Mirabel, Moncoutié came prepared. "It's true that I knew the parcours a little bit today. I knew that if I got away on the false flat (on the final ascent) with 0'30 lead I could stay away because the descent was twisty. I was a little nervous about being in a break with two Spanish riders, but I had great legs today and I was really motivated to win. Without a doubt, this is my best win ever!"

Maillot jaune Thomas Voeckler (Brioches la Boulangère) maintained in the race lead another day at the Tour de France without too many problems on the fast, hard stage. The smiling 25 year-old of Alsacian origin who was raised on the Caribbean island of Martinique explained after Stage 11 that, "So far I feel great and want to keep my jersey as long as possible." Voeckler clearly has the form of his life, but his Brioches le Boulangère squad has defended his lead for six stages and may be feeling the pressure with the Pyrenees looming this weekend.

When asked for his take on the 2004 Tour de France up to this point, five-time Tour champion Lance Armstrong (USPS-Berry Floor) explained after a hot day at the office that, "The team was really pushed today and they're strong. They were able to control when things were getting away at the end of the race. We're excited..."

Armstrong talked about the sudden change of weather conditions from the cold and rain of Belgium and Northern France to the hot, sunny days in the Massif Central. "It's tough (to transition) because two days ago, three days ago, we were riding in cold and rainy weather and today it's a hundred degrees (Fahrenheit)."

Looking forward to the weekend stages in the Pyrenees, Armstrong sees Saturday as a key stage for him. "I think Saturday's stage to Plateau de Beille suits me better (than Friday's stage to La Mongie); tomorrow's will be really good for a small, explosive climber; somebody who can sit on the wheels all day. I don't think what happens tomorrow's on La Mongie is any indication of what will happen in the other days."

Armstrong's key rival Jan Ullrich (T-Mobile) is happy too now that the sun is shining. Ullrich loves the heat and loves the Pyrenees, where he laid the groundwork for his first and only Tour de France win in 1997. "I like the sun and heat and blue skies for racing", an optimistic Ullrich said after Stage 11. "I'm feeling good and I think in the next few days, everything will go well for me at the Tour. Today my teammate Andreas Klöden attacked and US Postal saw that and had to work hard today to bring him back. Now I'm waiting for the big mountains and the right moment to attack."

How it unfolded

Across a golden brown countryside that resembled the rolling hills of Northern California, the 168 rider peloton left St. Flour in warm, sunny conditions with temperatures in the mid-20's, the warmest day of the Tour thus far. Besides Sébastien Hinault, who crashed out yesterday and abandoned with a fractured vertebrae, today saw T-Mobile's Matthias Kessler not take the start. Kessler crashed on the descent of the Puy Mary yesterday and broke a rib as well as damaging his lungs. A good climber, he will surely be missed by Jan Ullrich in the coming days. The only other casualty today was Magnus Bäckstedt (Alessio-Bianchi), who called it a day after suffering from a bad backache.

The usual bagarre marked the start of the stage and it seemed that Jens Voigt (CSC) was determined to get away in a break. Time and time he attacked, but it was always US Postal and Brioches la Boulangère doing the chasing, and he was not allowed to go free. Race leader Thomas Voeckler did have some problems when he was caught in the second peloton on the first climb of the day after 6 km, but his Brioches la Boulangère team worked hard to close the gap to the front group, which contained riders like Armstrong, Ullrich and Hamilton.

The attacks kept coming with Piil (CSC), Karpets, Osa, Garcia Acosta and Zandio (Illes Balears), Krivstov and Portal (Ag2r), Flecha and Tosatto (Fassa Bortolo), Halgand (Credit Agricole), Unai Etxebarria and Landaluze (Euskaltel), Pereiro (Phonak), Moncoutié (Cofidis) and Baranowski and Davis (Liberty Seguros) and Rogers (Quick.Step) all trying at various intervals to get away, driving the average speed up to 47 km/h in the first hour. But the bunch was more or less together on the Cat. 3 climb of Cote de Therondels (km 48), where polka dot jersey Richard Virenque took the points ahead of Moreau and Egoi Martinez (Euskaltel).

Martinez did not ease up over the top and continued to drive hard on the descent. He was caught by Moncoutié and then Flecha bridged up to form a nice three man breakaway that did not threaten any of the GC riders (Moncoutié was the best placed at over 18 minutes down). That was good enough for Brioches la Boulangère, who sat on the front for the rest of the stage, allowing the break an eight minute lead with 40 km to go before upping the tempo and pulling it back to just under six minutes at the end. None of the GC riders wanted to race too hard today with two tough stages in the Pyrenees coming up tomorrow and Saturday and Armstrong, Ullrich, Hamilton and co. were content to sit behind the Brioches train which was once again doing a great job to keep Voeckler in yellow.

The race for the stage honours was up front, and as Moncoutié, Flecha and Martinez eyed each other off in the final 20 km. With 9 km to go on the last climb of the day, an uncategorised 4.5 km drag at 3%, Flecha launched a hard attack. But it wasn't good enough, and after Egoi Martinez closed the gap, David Moncoutié placed a perfect counter attack that left the other two standing. Moncoutié clearly had the best legs today, and powered away up the remainder of the climb to open a minute's gap at the top, which he increased to 2'15 by the finish in Figeac, taking his first ever Tour stage win and the third by a Frenchman in this year's Tour.

Behind him, Flecha easily won the sprint for second from Martinez, while the peloton came in at 5'58 led by Hushovd, Zabel and McEwen, who kept hold of his green jersey for another day. Armstrong finished 9th and Ullrich 13h, both watching each other closely in the finale.

Stage 12 - July 16: Castelsarrasin - LaMongie, 197.5km

With more hot, sunny weather on tap for Friday's first Pyrenees stage of the 2004 Tour, the peloton should enjoy a perfect day for racing. Stage 12 is uphill for almost the entire 197.5km, but the real climbing doesn't start until Arreau after 160km at the base of the first climb of the day, the Cat. 1 Col d'Aspin, a narrow ascent of 12.3 km at 6.5% average grade. Then it's down to Ste-Marie-Campan, then up the east side of the Col du Tourmalet to the ski resort of La Mongie, a 12.8 km climb at 6.8% average grade.
