Clerc repeats; Sandstod takes GC
Aurelien Clerc (Mapei) took his second consecutive stage win at the Tour de Picardie and grabbed the green jersey at the end of today's third and final stage. Clerc beat Stuart O'Grady (Credit Agricole) in a hard-fought final sprint that saw the Australian getting his legs back after his recent iliac surgey. Damien Nazon (Bonjour) was third.
There was no change at the top of the general classification, with Michael Sandstod (CSC-Tiscali) taking overall victory, his second triumph in the race he also won in 2000. Jacky Durand (Francaise Des Jeux) was second and Sandstod's team-mate Olivier Asmaker rounded out the GC podium.
AG2R Prévoyance riders Innar Mandoja and Nicolas Inaudi launched the day's first attacks but they were soon neutralised by the peloton. More successful was a three-man escape bid by Linas Balciunas (AG2R Prévoyance), Olivier Perraudeau (Bonjour) and Stéphane Barthe (Saint-Quentin Oktos). By the 55km mark, the first points sprint, the trio had 2:30 on the main field, but CSC Tiscali and EDS-fakta organised the chase and the break was caught in the streets of Fort-Mahon-Plage.
In the final lap in Fort-Mahon-Plage there were numerous unsuccessful attempts to escape before the bunch sprint. Clerc had the fastest legs and edged out O'Grady and Nazon.
