Liquigas puts stamp on race
By Daniel Marszalek
Italian Filippo Pozzato from Liquigas-Gaspol has won the sixth stage of the Tour de Pologne in a tight finish at Jelenia Góra, where he beat other youngsters: Spaniard Jose Joaquin Rojas from Caisse d'Epargne and German Marcus Burghardt from T-Mobile. Pozzato's Brazilian team-mate Murilo Fischer became the new race leader as the sprinters were struggling on the uphills.
As soon as riders crossed the start line in Dzierzoniów attacks went thick and fast. Riders to form the first breakaway of the day were yesterday's hero Adam Wadecki of Ceramica Flaminia and Frenchman Yoann Le Boulanger of Bouygues Telecom. Very soon they were joined by another three riders, namely Italian Marco Pinotti of T-Mobile, Polish rider Robert Radosz of Action-Uniqa and another Frenchman, Lilian Jégou (Française Des Jeux). By the time they reached the unclassified Walimska pass at the 13-kilometre mark this quintet managed to build a 1'45" gap on the main bunch. Wadecki won the first two intermediate sprints held in the space of some five kilometres at Walbrzych and Szczawno-Zdrój. The third one was taken by Jégou, who was fastest on the streets of Kamienna Góra. At this moment the breakaway had their biggest advantage of around 4'40".
Just before first entry to the Karpacz yet another Polish rider from Ceramica Flaminia, Hubert Krys, attacked from the bunch. Meanwhile in the front group Pinotti and Le Boulanger left their three weaker companions behind them. Krys managed to join Jégou, Radosz and Wadecki, and soon went pass them in pursuit of the Italian and the Frenchman on the second ascent to Orlinek. The next one to go from peloton was Italian champion Giovanni Visconti from Quick.Step-Innergetic, who managed to catch and then drop Krys when they were ascending through the Kapracz Górny. He persisted with his counter-attack on the downhill section to Sosnówka and in a space of some ten kilometres crossed the gap to Le Boulanger and Pinotti, despite having to close a gap of 1'15" by himself.
Visconti must have been considered as a danger man, because Liquigas worked hard on the front of the bunch. The now three-men front group was finally caught at the start of the third and the last ascent to Orlinek. The peloton was still relatively big, though without some typical sprinters like race leader Danilo Napolitano or Graeme Brown. The most active rider in the race so far, Lukasz Bodnar from Action-Uniqa, was also seen in the group of strugglers. There were several attempts of a breakaway on the last ascent. Polish champion Tomasz Marczynski from Ceramica Flaminia was the first to try and make things harder for the sprinters still remaining in the peloton. He was joined by Italian Dario Cioni from Predictor-Lotto and Swiss Hubert Schwab from Quick.Step-Innergetic. But their escape was short-lived and was caught with some 30 kilometres to go.
The last man to try an attack on the uphill section was Belgian Björn Leukemans (Predictor-Lotto) who went in Karpacz Górny and started the last descent of the stage alone. He managed to stay on the front going down, but when he entered flat roads he was soon caught. Next to go was experienced Frenchman Cédric Vasseur of the Quick.Step team, but with several Liquigas-Gaspol and Caisse d'Epargne chasing at the pace of 60 km/h he had no chance to last on the front for more than a couple of minutes.
With three kilometres to go Vasseur's compatriot Benoit Poilvet of Crédit Agricole tried his luck with no effect, and last but not least it was current world time trial champion Swiss Fabian Cancellara from Team CSC. But even he wasn't able to break free from the others. Therefore it became obvious that for the fifth day in a row there would be a bunch sprint. Eventually three riders crossed the line in the front line with Pozatto just edging out Rojas and Burghardt.
The Liquigas-Gaspol team had every reason to smile today. Not only did "Pippo" Pozzato win a stage, but also with the absence of Napolitano in the main group Pozzato's team-mate Murilo Fischer became the new race leader with seven seconds advantage over Rojas.
Tomorrow is the last and by far the hardest day of the race. A true "Queen stage" of the 64. Tour de Pologne. Riders will have to cover just 148 kilometres, but with six big loops around Karpacz Górny, and then the seventh and final ascent to Orlinek.
