Zabriskie's one man show but Gilbert holds the lead

It looked like the US national time trial championship in Bourg-de-Péage in the Rhône valley, where the wind always plays an important role. Not only has David Zabriskie scored his second impressive stage win after the prologue, but he was followed on the results list by Floyd Landis, Levi Leipheimer and George Hincapie. "Lance Armstrong isn't here anymore but US cycling is still strong without him," the winner said.

Belgian prodigy Philippe Gilbert carried the flag for the more traditional cycling countries by holding the yellow jersey.

Zabriskie rode the course of the time trial once in the morning. "Then I took a nap, he said, and while I was sleeping, or in between the states of being asleep and awake, I wanted to see the course again. I followed the first CSC rider Lars Bak in the car. That's the last thing I did before riding on the trainer."

From the gun, the man from Utah was well in line, perfectly positioned on his bike. Then he kept increasing his lead. At the first check point, Landis was 23 seconds down and Leipheimer 32 seconds down. At the second check point, they were respectively 45 and 49 seconds behind, and at the end, the gaps were 53 seconds and 1 minute 16.

"It's not uncommon to have the winner so far ahead of the other riders in long time trials," Zabriskie noted. "That's what I wanted to do. That's cool."

Another man who did well was race leader Philippe Gilbert. The Française des Jeux rider isn't ranked as a specialist but he clocked the 16th best time just ahead of time trialists like Alexandre Vinokourov and French champion Sylvain Chavanel. He lost only 2'40 on the stage winner and not even one and half minutes on Leipheimer, whereas the day before he'd planned to finish around four minutes behind the favourites.

"Four minutes is what I'd lose in standard conditions," he said. "But the yellow jersey gave me more interest for the stage and some extra motivation as well. I recovered well from yesterday's stage and everything was fine in my head."

Some riders never try to improve their time trialing. Gilbert always does. "At the Giro d'Italia, I stayed for one more day than initially planned in order to ride a 50 km plus long time trial. We don't have many opportunities per year to do such things, it helps in situations like today's. I've always been a complete rider. Every year I improve, it's all good for the future." That's also Marc Madiot's opinion. The manager of Française des Jeux is building the future of his team around the young Belgian and super Swede Thomas Lövkvist.

The Giant of Provence awaits

The time has come for the riders of the Dauphiné to climb. The Mont Ventoux is the first obstacle in front of them. Gilbert has a 3:48 lead over Landis, who looks kind of unbeatable in stage races this year after winning the Tour of California, Paris-Nice and the Tour of Georgia. He's 4'58 ahead of Pro Tour leader Alejandro Valverde, who did the best time trial of his career so far over a long distance, finishing 9th, only 1'10 behind Landis.

"The captains of the big teams will attack me on the Ventoux," Gilbert declared. "I will follow who I can, at my rhythm. I have to remain realistic. It's not going to be myself in yellow jersey in Grenoble on Sunday. I might finish in top 20 but I don't want to finish it dead. The Tour de France isn't far ahead. It's still special to climb the Ventoux in yellow though. Whatever happens, it will be a great memory."

Could Zabriskie take over? "I'll try to do as well as I can," that's all he promised. "I've never done the Ventoux before. Climbing gets hard for me when little Spanish guys go crazy."

Talking about the Spaniards, the hot favourite for the Dauphiné might well be Francisco Mancebo now. Last year, he lost four and half minutes in the equivalent time trial, this time, he's only 2'50 down on Zabriskie.

The Dauphiné is a test for the Tour de France GC contenders, but also a race where most of them are afraid to burn themselves. They remember how superior Iban Mayo was to Armstrong two years ago, but at the Tour, it was a complete different story. Traditionally, some riders hide themselves, so did Ivan Basso in 2004 following the example of his team manager Bjarne Riis, who climbed the Ventoux 15 minutes behind Miguel Indurain in 1996 before adopting a radically opposite attitude at the Tour de France.

But with Ag2r, a local team based in the Alps, Mancebo shouldn't miss an opportunity to win a race like the Dauphiné. It has always been prestigious to win this race, it might be even more valuable now with a participation maybe better than ever in the context of the Pro Tour with all the world's big teams.

The competition has also never been so open at the foot of the Giant of Provence.
