Martinez masters Mont Mégantic

Miguel Martinez (Amore & Vita-McDonald's) is one of the best mountain bikers and cyclo-cross racers in the history of the sport, winning multiple world championships and an Olympic Games gold medal. Following his mountain biking gold at the Athens Olympics, 'Little Mig' turned his focus to the road, signing with Mapei.
However, his road career never really flourished in the ways his mountain bike and cyclo-cross careers had. The 32 year-old had decided to retire from the road after last season - but a last minute decision to try once more put him in touch with Ivano Fanini and his squad. The decision was a good one as Martinez scored his first professional road win in the queen stage of the Tour de Beauce, attacking up the final metres of Mont Mégantic.
"For me today, I am so happy," he told Cyclingnews. "This is my first [road] victory as a professional. Last year I said to myself 'no more'. But in January I felt good and had motivation, so I called Ivano Fanini and asked if it was possible to race on the team."
Martinez said the original motivation to race on the road came from his father's success. "This is unbelieveable," he said. "My father, 40 years ago, was a stage winner twice in the Tour de France. He also raced the World Championships here in Montreal." Martinez then was interrupted by his director with a phone call from Ivano Fanini direct from Italy.
The French rider attacked out of a select group of eight riders. The group included yellow jersey Bernardo Colex (Tecos-Trek), who was being marked closely by other general classification contenders, including three Team Type 1 riders and Symmetrics' Svein Tuft.
"It was very, very hard," said Martinez. "But it was good situation because my team-mate Phil Cortes was out in a break. And he told me about the climb. At one kilometre to the finish it was very steep but I attacked at 300 metres."
"I don't even know how to say how difficult it was," Colex said. "The team brought me to the bottom of the climb and I just could not let them down."
Beyond the difficulty of the climb itself - a seven kilometre ascent with portions above 14 percent - the Mexican rider was isolated from his team immediately as the road turned uphill. Around him were three dangerous Team Type 1 riders - defending stage champion Glen Chadwick, Valeriy Kobzarenko and fellow Mexican Moises Aldape. But as the kilometres ticked off a Tecos-Trek team-mate came back to the rescue.
"Part of the plan was to have Ladino attack, so Bernardo had to be patient and wait for him to come up," said assistant director John Gohl. "Then we sent him to get everyone disorganised by going after him and then have them pop."
"I know they are a very strong team and they attacked some," said Colex. "I held on as long as I could, until Ladino reached me."
"The plan was to hit it from the bottom and single everyone out," said Chadwick. "There were around eight of us but he was a good climber. Martinez and the yellow jersey are really good climbers, so if we could stay within 10 or 20 seconds of them here and try to put a lot of time into them tomorrow. But we also wanted to get some time on some other good time trialers. Tuft is only a number of seconds behind us and he is a time trial guru!"
"For myself all I can do is try to cover my losses," said Tuft. "When [the pure climbers] go they can just punch is so hard on the climbs. If I had to race like that I would just blow sky high! I stayed in my realm and I knew it was 20 minutes of sheer suffering, so if I could just stay on that threshold."
Tuft knows this climb well, and even referred back to his power output file from last year before the stage. "Last night I looked at the file [from last year] and I said, 'Yeah, that is going to hurt!'," he said. "But I try not to look at it while I'm racing."
A common theme among many veteran Beauce racers is that the tactics this year are quite unconventional compared to previous years. "This is the weirdest Beauce I've ever ridden," noted Tuft. "Normally it's really aggressive but everyone is playing a different game this year. So we just had to play along and sit in with the rest of them, waiting for this climb.
"It's a hard frickin' day - who wants to go up there alone?" laughed Tuft.
In regards to teams like Sparkasse quieter than previous years, Tuft said: "I think they've learned - it's their third time here and I remember they had the jersey on this day and blew up, so I think they've learned their lesson."
Last year's second place on this stage, Francois Parisien (Team RACE) had a different opinion. "I don't understand what is going on with the big teams," he said. "Everyone is playing poker right now and everyone is going to lose except the Mexicans," he said. "Normally on this stage a team is all decimated with 30 km to go - there are only two guys left with the leader.
"This year it wasn't going hard until 30 km to go," he continued. "I don't understand why Symmetrics, Team Type 1 and Sparkasse...those team should try to win, but they instead tried to follow. I don't know if they think they can do a good TT, and put two minutes in them. Maybe Svein Tuft can do a good TT, but it will be hard to put a lot of time."
The stage results did not have as much affect on the overall as in previous years, with Martinez the biggest beneficiary. He moves into second place overall at 16 seconds adrift. In third and fourth are two Team Type 1 threats in Aldape and Chadwick at 26 and 39 seconds behind respectively. Tuft, who finished third on the same time trial course last year, is still in the hunt at 51 seconds.
"I'm feeling good and I'll try to get a good recovery now," said Tuft about tomorrow's time trial.
On the other side, the climbing-centric race leader said he will be motivated to become a good time trialist. "I am going to race tomorrow with faith," he said. "I have the yellow jersey so I don't want to lose it - I will put up a good time."
Before the race up Mont Mégantic the day was owned by two - Amore & Vita-McDonald's Canadian connection Phil Cortes and the rider who should now be known as 'Breakaway Beauce', Sébastien Fournet-Fayard (A-Style Stomn). The two broke away with Pezula's Derek Burke tagging on. This marks the third day in-a-row that Frenchman Fournet-Fayard has attacked, and ended up solo on the road.
"It must be Canada's air," he joked. "I admit it might have been too early today, but when you are in a breakaway you have to go."
Tomorrow's 20km time trial might not decide who will win the overall, but it might help decide who will not.
