Mark Canvendish (Columbia) proved the obvious today in the finish of the the first stage of the Tour of Missouri - the obvious being that he is the fastest in the peloton. Cavendish was sitting second wheel behind Dominque Rollin (Toyota-United) in the final 300 meters when Rollin swung off. Everyone hesitated including Cavendish, who looked over both shoulders before jumping on Tyler Farrar's (Garmin-Chipotle) wheel. This allowed him to rest enough to come around Farrar before the line, well ahead of Italian Francesco Chicchi (Liquigas) in third.

"George [Hincapie] dropped me off on Rollin's wheel," said Cavendish. "[Rollin] swung off with 200-meters to go but there was a bit of a head wind. Tyler jumped [then] and I jumped on his wheel which gave me a couple seconds rest. It was just a case of kicking past him and crossing the line first."

"To be honest it was more hectic at the finish here than it is in Europe," Cavendish continued. "There are a lot of guys who haven't raced me before and maybe they thought they could beat me. I give them a lot of credit for trying to do that. But when you have a team like I have it's pretty hard to beat me."

Farrar said that the unorganized fashion of the last few kilometers made an already dangerous setting even more chaotic. "It was hectic in the last lap with the big down hill on the circuits that made it easy to swarm," he said. "I was kind of just looking for Mark's wheel - my guys worked hard to get me there. I sat on his wheel until about 200 meters to go and tried to jump there but it didn't quite work."

Coming into the final 500 meters it was Dominique Rollin (Toyota-United) on the front driving it, but with Cavendish on his wheel. "I don't know what happened," said Rollin. "I was leading out Ivan [Dominguez] and then he wasn't on my wheel anymore. We had a smooth run-in coming around the Columbia lead out, but I think we got messed up because of the crash."

"I ended up doing a great lead-out for Cavendish!" Rollin laughed. "I couldn't go any more because I was going out from 600 meters and there was a headwind."

On how it was sprinting against the winner of four stages at this year's Tour de France, Rollin said, "I don't think he was that quick today - I think he was more lucky to catch my wheel. The weather didn't help us setting up a good sprint. Tomorrow is a longer stage and hopefully that will break the field up more."

Cavendish said his team's efforts to control the stage was a key to his win, and that everyone should expect more of the same the rest of the week. "I think we showed how dominant we were by staying at the front, and we were able to hold the whole lot off. The last three kilometres we just had to pick it up, but we have a lot of good time trialist on the team who were able to sustain a high pace. They ride selflessly and one hundred percent for me, to keep me up there."

Farrar said he will try to beat Cavendish in the flat finishes of this race, of which there are many still to come. "I'm going to continue to try to beat Mark in the sprint - I think there are a lot of good opportunity this week. Tomorrow is another day, another bike race. We've raced against each other before..."

At that point Cavendish cut in, joking, "But you never beat me!"

How it unfolded

The first stage began under ominous grey skies with temperatures hovering around 13C most of the day. But this was actually an improvement over the lightning and torrential rains that blanketed the Kansas City area overnight. The start in St. Joseph, north of Kansas City, is home to many famous points in history - including where Jesse James was gunned down and the disputed home of the doughnut.

The riders rolled out of town past seemingly every school in the town, with all of the students more than happy to take a break from their classes to wave at the riders. The riders were not exactly waving back as the first KOM climb was just nine miles out of town. This proved to be important as there are no KOMs for the next two days, giving the bearer of the jersey a free ride three entire stages.

Multiple attacks came in the miles approaching the KOM, which was a power climb around a kilometer long. This made the climb more of a sprint as Dominique Rollin (Toyota-United) took the points ahead of Frank Pipp (Health Net p/b Maxxis), Alex Candelario (Kelly Benefit Strategies - Medifast), Dirk Müller (Team Sparkasse) and Jonathan Garcia (BMC Racing Team).

The only other KOM was on the finishing circuit, 14 miles from the finish line, setting up for a battle late in the stage.

As these riders settled back into the peloton, a couple of opportunists jumped away, looking to neutralize the sprinting force of Mark Cavendish with a breakaway. Martin Kohler (BMC Racing Team) and Tom Zirbel (Bissell Pro Cycling) started off on the rolling hills, holding just a ten second lead at first. But once the Columbia-led peloton took down their numbers, the gap grew.

With the gap at 50 seconds a third rider decided he needed to be up the road too. Johnny Sundt (Kelly Benefit Strategies-Medifast) spent many kilometers in the cold alone trying to make it to the break. Adding to his woes was Mother Nature who decided the riders needed a rain shower.

Sundt eventually made it to the leading two, who eventually waited for him once he was within 30 seconds. The trio expanded their lead to more than three minutes, but with Columbia all over the front it was clear that was only borrowed time.

Sundt won the first intermediate sprint of the day in Platte City with relative ease. The second sprint in Parkville was taken by Kohler by a few bike lengths.But at this point the gap was under two minutes and falling, with thirty miles to go. Garmin-Chipotle gave Columbia a hand in the chasing, looking to see if their sprinter Tyler Farrar could match up with Cavendish.

In the outskirts of Kansas City the catch was made with relative ease, as curious commuters watched the race enter more urban roads. Though the rain has subsided the roads were still wet and dangerous. And as the three riders were reeled in, Columbia took advantage of the moment and hit the gas. This caused a split with about 25 riders off the front - mostly Columbia and Liquigas. The high pace shed numerous from the peloton and put the rest to the limit all the way to the finishing circuit.

"Columbia surprised everyone with 20km to go having a group off the front," said Rollin. "They realized everyone was in the gutter and hit all the way to the circuit but luckily then they ran out of guys. "

The field reformed by the circuit and the race for the second KOM was on. An opportunistic Tecos-Trek rider, Bernardo Colex, tried to escape solo. But he should have waited until after the KOM as riders like Rollin were going for points. Rollin led over the climb followed by Will Routley (Symmetrics) and Frank Pipp.

While everyone else sat-up from the effort, Routley took advantage and kept his effort rolling. He built up a small lead and tried to make the most of it. Behind Team Columbia merely set a steady tempo with all of their riders in a line on the front. Routley stayed away for two laps of the finishing circuit, but never more than 15 seconds. He was finally caught with less than 2km to go, as the field sprint finally wound-up.

Coming down the hill after the 1km banner (which blew down with 1 lap to go, but was out of the way for the final lap) the wet roads took their toll. A touch of wheels behind sent some riders to the ground, including sprinters Karl Menzies (Health Net-Maxxis) and Brad Huff (Jelly Belly), but the leaders came onto the flat intact. From 600 meters Rollin was on the front hoping that Ivan Dominguez was on his wheel. But it was Cavendish getting the free ride. Rolling swung off at 250 meters and left Cavendish hanging.

Tyler Farrar came around the hesitating Cavendish at 200 meters and went for the line. But this gave Cavendish a quick breath, allowing him to recover and come around Farrar on the line for the win. Cavendish took an addition $2,500 prime on

Tuesday's second stage is another rolling stage with only sprints to be contested. Cyclingnews will have live coverage of the race starting at 11:00 a.m. CDT.
