16th Tour du Poitou Charentes et de la Vienne - 2.3
France, August 27-30, 2002
Stage 1 - August 27: Saint-Maixent-L'Ecole - Saintes, 184 km
Usov gives himself a birthday present
Alexandre Usov (Phonak Hearing Systems) has won the first stage of the Tour du Poitou Charentes, beating Robert Sassone (Cofidis) and Fred Rodriguez (Domo-Farm Frites) to the line at the head of a bunch sprint. For the champion of Belorussia, it was a particularly sweet victory as today was his 25th birthday!
Usov's victory puts him into the leader jersey, one second ahead of Laurent Jalabert who picked up time bonuses on his way to the leader's position in the king of the mountains competition.
Tomorrow's stage is a similar length (182km) journey from Saintes to Montbron.
