Prologue - May 16: Gruissan – Gruissan (ITT), 3.9 km
Mactier's Aude to victory
By Ben Atkins in Gruissan
|
Katie Mactier (Australia) surprised herself by winning a blustery 3.9km prologue to take the first race leader's jersey in this year's Tour de l'Aude. The 2005 world pursuit champion found the distance to her liking and recorded a time of 5:02.78, just over half a second quicker than Dutch time trial champion and World scratch race champion Ellen Van Dijk (Netherlands), with 2007 Aude champion Susanne Ljungskog (Menikini Selle Italia) six tenths of a second behind her. Alison Powers (United States National Team) was just over two tenths further back, and Mirjam Melchers-Van Poppel (Netherlands) was a little over a second behind Powers in fifth.
The day began cloudy and overcast, but by the time the 3:00 pm start time arrived, the skies had cleared and first rider off Gabriella Day (Swift Racing) took the start in bright sunshine. The strong wind that has been present for the preceding days persisted, however, making conditions difficult in the back part of the coastal circuit. As the afternoon progressed, more clouds moved in causing some light rain to fall over the later starters, but there was nothing to worry anyone or make the conditions any worse.
Winner Katie Mactier was under the impression that she had been beaten into second place by someone until Cyclingnews told that she had won which completely took her by surprise. The pursuit specialist has no long-term personal goals in the race though, besides supporting the rest of the Australian team and preparing for the Olympic Games this summer, when she would like to go one better than her silver medal of Athens four years ago.
"The main emphasis for the rest of the tour is to help my team-mates," she said after the victory had sunk in. "We've got some really good talent coming through and so I'm hoping to just get out of the wind and help them.
"To be honest," she went on, "I've taken a good look at the profile tomorrow and we've got a few cards we can play in terms of overall, looking at GC riders. The main purpose of me to race the Tour is to get some good preparation in for the Olympics and that kind of thing."

As one of the earlier starters (number 10), it was almost an hour and three quarters before the last rider had finished and her victory was confirmed. This time difference made little difference to the conditions though, and the later riders had similar windy weather to contend with.
"I was early," continued Mactier, "so I rode to the accommodation and then I rode back. The wind is always going to be a factor and whether it was windier or less windy I couldn't really say, but you've just got to go out there and make the most out of the conditions and give it everything.
"It was a great course; I was here back in 2001 - they've always had really good prologues here in Tour de l'Aude and that was something I needed to have a really good shot at. And yeah, couldn't be happier."
World scratch race champion Ellen Van Dijk was visibly disappointed to have been so narrowly beaten, but was not surprised that it was a former world pursuit champion who had done it. "It was hard," she said of the windy conditions, "but it's a short course, a short lap so it's hard to give everything and to ride yourself empty. It's a shame because I'm second – and by half a second."
"Very windy," she continued, "and it started raining when I started so I was a bit scared. You can't do anything about that but second is not good. I know she's very good from the track, but she's better now!"
It's doubtful that with tomorrow's parcours featuring a hors category climb that the Dutchwoman will try to take the leader's jersey from Mactier as the Dutch team has come with some strong riders for the overall like Melchers-Van Poppel and Regina Bruins. "I'm not very good for climbing, so I'll have to work very hard for my team-mates, but maybe we'll be able to do something in the team time trial."
|
"I'm not here to ride a good classification, I'm just here for experience and it makes me stronger!" said Van Dijk.
"Yeah, I'm happy," said last year's winner Susanne Ljungskog to Cyclingnews. "Third place is good for the day. I'm happy, yep." With team time trialling no being one of Menikini-Selle Italia's strengths though, the former two-time World champion is less optimistic about her overall prospects. "I think in the team time trial I'm going to lose some seconds,|" she explained, "so my goal is to try to do my best and see what happens."
"This is a good preparation for the Giro [though], and this is a nice race and a really hard race so it's good."
Fourth placed Alison Powers was pleased with her performance. "Totally happy;" she enthused, "I've been here for two months and it's nice to see that the hard work has paid off today – it's very rewarding. Everything worked well today: the team worked well; my bikes worked well; everything was great."
|
Like most of the prologue specialists though, a good performance in today's short distance test was the limit of her personal ambitions, with the team coming first in the coming days. "We have Amber Neben and we want her to win the race," she explained. "We're here for her. I'd love to get a good result personally, but mostly it's all about the team and helping her win and reach her goals. My personal goal was the prologue and I'd say I did a pretty good job."
The main overall contenders lay nicely poised, with Melchers-Van Poppel taking the early psychological advantage. 2005 and 2006 winner Amber Neben (United States) lies in seventh place overall just fractions of a second behind the Dutchwoman, last year's third place Judith Arndt (High Road) lies a further four seconds back, and last year's second Trixi Worrack is in 37th place, just twenty seconds behind.
Unfortunately, the race was denied the expected duel between world pursuit champion Rebecca Romero (Great Britain) and world time trial champion Hanka Kupfernagel as neither rider was present after all. Also missing was the race's previous 2.1 status, which has been downgraded to 2.2 after the race organisation refused to invite Team Flexpoint after they failed to attend the post-race dinner and presentation last year.
