Tour de l'Avenir - 2.5
France, September 5-14, 2002
Stage 1 - September 5: Saint-Grégoire ITT, 9km
Pozzato storms to prologue win
Mapei-Quick Step's Filippo Pozzato has won the first stage of the Tour de l'Avenir, a 9km time trial in Saint-Grégoire in the Bretagne region of France. Pozzato beat Great Britain's Bradley Wiggins (FDJeux.com) by just 11 hundreths of a second, blazing through the course at an average speed of just over 50kmh. Third place went to Mapei teammate Evgeni Petrov. "I am very pleased with this result," said Pozzato. "It certainly won't be easy defending this jersey. The next five stages will be difficult to control; the French plains certainly aren't that flat and I'm sure there will be lots of echelons."
