Halgand wins first stage
The winner of the 2000 Tour du Limousin, Patrice Halgand (Jean Delatour), has taken the lead in the race after winning today's first stage. After 156 km of racing, Halgand arrived in Guéret 2 seconds in front of breakaway companion Guido Trentin (Cofidis), with Ag2r's Ludovic Turpin taking third.
Halgand was part of an escape containing 11 riders. On the Cat. 1 climb of the Col du Maupuy he attacked, and only Guido Trentin could follow him. Following a very tough descent, Halgand won the two man sprint. Half of the peloton wasn't in a hurry today and arrived 24 minutes behind.
