Mapei's Michael Rogers grabs yellow in difficult time trial
By Giana Roberge, team Saturn
Stage five's 22km time trial could have been a section of any of the road stages here at the Tour de Beauce. A course with unrelenting hills and a strong wind that sapped the strength out of everyone's' legs right from the gun, the time trial was truly a test of truth for the competitors. With the times very close among the top overall contenders going into the stage it was an exciting showdown as the times for the time trial started coming in and the general classification began to shift.
Saturn's Eric Wohlberg was showing the best time among the last 20 or so finishers with a solid 29:19 until a pair of Nurnberger riders Thomas Liese then Artour Babaitsev cracked the 28 minute barrier by a good margin. With four riders still on course Danny Pate of Prime Alliance showed why he is the U-23 World Time Trial Champion, coming across the line with a 29:35. The early yellow jersey wearer and consistently impressive Lubor Tesar of Nurnberger came in with 29:26, then second place overall Michael Rogers, only four seconds out of the lead after yesterday's Mount Megantic climb, displayed his time trial prowess with a 29:01. That set the stage for an exciting conclusion with everyone waiting in great anticipation so see if the current yellow jersey holder Matt Decanio of Prime Alliance could match that time or better it and hold on to the jersey. In the end Decanio came in with an impressive 29:41 but not nearly enough to hold off Rogers for the yellow jersey.
