Surprise, surprise, it's Moreau…kourov!
Astana grabs another stage with Iglinsky
By Jean-François Quénet in Valloire
|
With one day to go, Christophe Moreau is the new leader of the Dauphiné. Andrey Kashechkin didn't react when the Frenchman attacked on the Col du Télégraphe with ten kilometres to go. The Astana team was happy with another stage win, grabbed by up and coming Maxim Iglinsky, who claimed the hardest stage of the Dauphiné. "Initially, I went in the break for being able to wait for Kash and help him in the end," the young Kazakh explained. "But my director told me to stay in the wheels and gave me the freedom to attack. When I saw the other riders were not well anymore, I decided by myself that it was the right time for attacking."
Iglinsky hails from Astana. Only one other rider, team sprinter Assan Bazayev, is also from the capital of Kazakhstan that has given its name to the new Switzerland-based squad. "In the future, I want to become a rider for the GC, and also for stage wins in big races," he said. "But I'm still young and I have to become stronger before I can ask to become a leader. I will improve by riding in support to Vino and Kash for now."
Aged 23, Iglinsky has ridden the Tour de France twice already with Domina Vacanze and Milram before switching to Astana. "I think I'll do it again this year. I want to." Just like Toni Colom the day before, he has probably earned one of the remaining spots at the service of Vinokourov in July; so did Serguei Ivanov by riding strongly in front of the bunch for many kilometres at the Dauphiné.
He will not have to do it anymore since Astana gave the lead up with one day to go. Kashechkin wasn't badly positioned when Moreau attacked him ten kilometres before Valloire. "I continued at my rhythm, the former yellow jersey commented. It's ok. I'm here for getting in good shape and I'm happy [he smiled - ed.]. As I was the leader, it was normal that my team worked earlier on to control the race a little bit. It's good training." When he pronounced these last words on the finishing line, Kash laughed out loud.
It is clear: neither Vino nor Kash tried to win the Dauphiné. Moreau on the other hand wanted it badly. "It was necessary to be patient," the Frenchman explained. "Only on the Télégraphe was it possible to change the face of the race. I had to try the same way I did it on the Mont Ventoux. I had to profit from Astana's work. Without my Ag2r team, I wouldn't have done it. Our plan has worked to perfection with Stéphane Goubert in the front group even though he was sick and Sylvain Calzati in-between again."

Moreau had noticed that both Kash and Vino went up and down during the stage. "It wasn't only a bluff from them," he said. "I was convinced they were not at their best, but to make sure I had to take the temperature of the break, although by attacking I took the risk of being countered by Menchov and Evans."
Evans was the only challenger who was able to follow him beside Leonardo Piepoli who was further back on GC. The Australian, now second overall, was full of praise for the dominating Frenchman: "Moreau seems to get better every year. When he's good, he's very good. I wasn't holding back. I couldn't give him turns. It was the same last year in Joux-Plane during the Tour de France; he asked me for turns, he might think I never want to help him but for the second time, I just couldn't. In the downhill of the Mollard I missed the split and that was a mistake. We had to chase behind the 13 riders. The energy I lost there, I would have needed it at the end. I wanted to attack and try to get the yellow jersey but I simply couldn't. Moreau was the strongest."
There is one more opportunity for Evans and Kashechkin to dethrone Moreau. "It would have been nice to just turn around the Lake of Annecy for the last stage," the Ag2r captain said. "But [race assistant director] Charly [Mottet] preferred to take us up La Forclaz; it means we'll have to stay focused till the very end. I don't want to sell the skin of the bear before killing him but if Evans rides as he did today, it should be all right."
Moreau is just as strong as a Kazakh these days!
How it unfolded
From the gun, there was an attack by Rémy Di Gregorio (Française des Jeux). As the race immediately started with a climb - the Col Bayard - the young Frenchman created three splits in the bunch, with second-placed Christophe Moreau (Ag2r) in the first one and race leader Andrey Kashechkin (Astana) in the second.
Di Gregorio kept his efforts up and was eventually joined by Morris Possoni (Lampre) and Aleksandr Kuschynski (Liquigas). The groups of Moreau and Kashechkin gathered in the downhill of the Col Bayard. A counter-attacked by Egoi Martínez (Discovery Channel), Stéphane Goubert (Ag2r), Bernhard Kohl (Gerolsteiner), Xabier Zandio (Caisse d'Epargne), Alexandre Botcharov (Crédit Agricole), Maxim Iglinsky (Astana), Mikel Astarloza (Euskaltel) and Pierrick Fédrigo (Bouygues Telecom) came as a reinforcement for the leading trio (Di Gregorio, Possoni and Kuschynski).

Di Gregorio led at the top of the Côte de Motty where the 11-men front group passed four minutes ahead of the main pack paced by the Astana team. Di Gregorio was first again at the Col de la Croix-de-Fer after a maximum lead of 7'35" was registered. Sylvain Calzati (Ag2r) went in-between the breakaway and the bunch for later support to Moreau, should the Frenchman decide to attack.
It didn't happen in the steep Col du Mollard where the Tour de France passed last year before the finish in La Toussuire, but in the downhill a few riders went away from the peloton, among them Kashechkin and Moreau; but not the guys following them closely on GC: Cadel Evans, Denis Menchov, Levi Leipheimer and David Zabriskie. After a strong effort in the valley the peloton finally reached the group of about a dozen riders at the foot of the Télégraphe. So the final climb had to bring the decision.
In the front, Kohl, Zandio, Astarloza, Iglinsky, Botcharov and Fédrigo went away. Botcharov rode solo with 13 kilometres to go. He got caught by Di Gregorio and Iglinsky who countered straight away and went for good.
The peloton was reduced to 14 men at the bottom of the Télégraphe. Moreau attacked with 10km to go. Kashechkin didn't react. Only Evans and Piepoli followed the Frenchman. Contador tried but couldn't. Initially all the work was done by Moreau, but eventually Evans also pulled through. Piepoli was happy to just sit on.
Iglinsky won solo and Moreau took the lead over from Kashechkin.
