Buitenpoort takes control
Doppmann wins stage
By Kristy Scrymgeour

The Buitenpoort Flexpoint team members flexed their muscles today on the first mountain stage of the tour, splitting up the field on the first climb and driving it to the finish with only 20 riders able to hold their pace. Buitenpoort kept the yellow jersey within the team but it was Univega's Priska Doppmann who took the bunch sprint out of the remaining riders to take the stage win.
Rain welcomed the riders to the line this morning which is never a good thing for the first road stage of a tour. Despite the rain, the race started quickly with many riders attacking to try to get a break going before the road started going up. The nervous tension of day one and the rain, made for dangerous conditions and quite a few girls crashed. Trixi Worrack of Nürnberger was hit by a motorbike and her bike was totaled. She is fine and still managed to take second place in the stage, but she said "when I saw my bike, I was shocked." Worrack knee is quite badly hurt from the crash which could affect the former winner of the tour to have some problems as she goes.
After about 45km of racing, the course enters the valley and the road gradually starts going up. Mirjam Melchers and Lyne Bessette attacked the field and gained ten seconds but were eventually reeled back in as the climb proper started. Rather than countering the move, the whole Buitenpoort team immediately hit the front and Loes Gunnewijk who was wearing the yellow jersey after yesterdays team time trial, drove the pace for her team up the entire climb. The pace was extremely fast and definitely too fast for other teams to attack. Only about 17 riders remained in the bunch by the top of the 15km climb. A second group of about 20 riders hit the top of the climb twenty seconds later.
Buitenpoort took advantage of their numbers and continued to set a very fast tempo on the front to try to stay away from the chase group. By the bottom of the short descent, the chase had almost regained contact but the road started going up again and Buitenpoort picked up the pace once again. With Gunnewijk ironically doing the majority of the work in the yellow jersey, working for her teammates Amber Neben and Suzanne Ljunsgkog, the chase group never made it back.
The second climb, up Col de la Crois de Sous and is a Hors Category climb. It's a lot shorter than the first climb, but a lot steeper. Again by the top, only the small group of 17 remained, this time with a two minute lead over the chase group. Judith Arndt (T-Mobile) took the mountain sprint points and Buitenpoort continued to set the pace. With only 30km to the finish, the pace was fast. Neben crashed on the descent and the whole team dropped back to chase her back on. The bunch waited of course out of respect for the yellow jersey and the former race winner.
The pace continued to be set by Buitenpoort all the way to the finish, back in the town of Rieux Minervois. Without any Univega team mates around her Doppmann took the sprint from Worrack and Theresa Senff (AA-Drink Cycling Team). Buitenpoort's Suzanne Ljunskog took over the race lead from her teammate Gunnewijk and will wear yellow in tomorrows 5km time trial in Port La Nouvelle.
