Tomorrow's time trial the race of truth for Lance
By Tim Maloney, European Editor in Toulouse
 |
A century ago, Toulouse welcomed the third stage of the inaugural Tour de France. Today's stage was ridden at a considerably faster pace than the 17h55m it took in 1903. Twenty-five-year-old Spanish Tour rookie Juan Antonio Flecha attacked with 20km to go, and again in a counter-move with 14km to race for a brilliant solo win in Toulouse. Instead of the traditional victory salute, the iBanesto.Com made like an archer as he crossed the line; Flecha means arrow in Spanish, and the rider from Sitges, Spain hit the bulls-eye today with his first win for iBanesto.com and his fifth pro win.
"I'm thanking my entire team since this was the first win for iBanesto," said Flecha. "Today is incredible because my girlfriend lives here in Toulouse. I can't wait to see her!"
"I was most worried about O'Grady," he said. "I knew he lives here in Toulouse and wanted to win today."
On his unique victory salute, Flecha explained that he had only made the gesture a few times before, "but today I had to since it was the most important win of my life." Born in Buenos Aires, Flecha's father died when he was three and his mother remarried a Spanish man, who moved his new family to Spain when Juan Antonio was 11.

Less than a minute behind the hard riding gaucho, gold coast golden boy Robbie McEwen pipped Benalla bullet Baden Cooke for ninth, continuing their ding-dong battle for the Maillot Vert of the 2003 Tour's best sprinter. American Fred Rodriguez (Vini Caldirola-So.Di) was almost in the key break of the day, but had just missed the right move. "Tomorrow I'm going to take it easy in the TT so I can survive the mountains," Rodriguez said. "I'm still looking for a stage win before Paris."
Film star Arnold Schwarznegger is currently at the Tour de France promoting his new movie Terminator 3, which has some featured floats in the Tour's Caravane Publicitaire. Aspiring California gubernatorial candidate and cycling fan Arnold made a brief visit to Lance and his USPS-Berry Floor guys on the team bus before the start, where a special Cyclingnews source reported that the dialog went as follows:
Lance: "Hi, I'm Lance."
Arnold: "I know who you are."
 |
After Stage 11 terminated, Schwarznegger presented Armstrong his daily Maillot Jaune on the podium in Toulouse.
After his friend Robin Williams accepted ESPN's Espy award on Armstrong's behalf yesterday, the American clearly has his own star power, but still has his eye on the prize for Friday's 47km time test. Armstrong told France Television just after Stage 11 in his now excellent French that "I think (Friday's Stage 12) might be the most important time trial in my 5 years at the Tour de France. It's not too hard of a stage... Good for rouleurs, but the wind and the heat will make it more difficult."
How it unfolded
The major obstacle in today's 153.5 km stage from Narbonne to Toulouse was an eight kilometre, Cat. 3 climb in the middle. That and the relentless sun spelled the end for a four riders, despite the rest day yesterday. After being dropped at the foot of the climb, Jens Voigt (Credit Agricole) gave up with 42 km to go, taking Stephane Auge (who waited for him) with him, as the Frenchman missed the time cut at the end of the stage. Two more victims were Jan Ullrich's close friend Tobias Steinhauser (Team Bianchi) and Matthew Wilson (FDJeux.com), who will not be able to help his teammate Baden Cooke defend the green jersey to Paris.
The break of the day went just before the intermediate sprint in Carcassonne
(km 59), where Carlos Da Cruz (FDJeux.com) took the points ahead of Stuart O'Grady
(Credit Agricole) and Bram de Groot (Rabobank). Five other riders joined the
break: Isidro Nozal (ONCE),
Juan Antonio Flecha (iBanesto.com), Inigo Cuesta (Cofidis), Michael Rogers (Quick.Step-Davitamon)
and Nicolas Portal (Ag2R-Prévoyance).
Behind them, Lotto and US Postal rode tempo to keep the gap at a manageable 4 minutes, but despite help from Telekom and Vini Caldirola in the final 40 km, the break never came back. Flecha realised the gap was sufficient, and attacked with 20 km to go to try and create a selection. The other riders hesitated, but got together and caught him with 14 km to go, only to see him attack again - this time for good. His 20" gap was not theatened by the other
On the run in to the airport finish, Nozal went clear of the remainder of the break, only to be joined by De Groot who pipped him for second place. Da Cruz, who is Baden Cooke's teammate, sprinted home ahead of "local" O'Grady to take fifth, and deny the Australian of more green jersey points. The bunch sprint for 9th didn't go quite according to plan for Cooke, who was narrowly beaten by green jersey arch rival Robbie McEwen.
Stage 12 - Friday, July 18: Gaillac - Cap' Découverte, TT, 47 km
Starting in the tiny Tarnois village of Gaillac, Stage 12 finishes in the theme park of Cap 'Decouverte, converted from an open-pit coal mine that has become a popular vacation destination in Europe. The 47km test is crucial to Armstrong's success in this year's Tour De France. Lance has focused on his time trialing this year, as he and team director Johan Bruyneel have developed a strategy designed to gain maximum time against the watch in the Centenary Tour.

"I've seen the course and I know it pretty well," Armstrong said. "I'll see it again the morning of the race... we'll see. I've been focusing a lot on the time trials this year in terms of my training and I had a good TT this year at the Dauphiné." Armstrong will be seeking every advantage to gain time on his rivals, riding a new lighter version of his Trek time trial rig and a special high-tech Nike Spin Cycle skin suit.
Although the Stage 12 profile appears moderately easy, the heavy, narrow winding roads, hot conditions and details such as about 50 percent of the parcours going uphill will render the Tour's first solo time trial more difficult than it looks. Look for the final climb of the day to make the difference. Coming after 39km, the road rises from 218m at the village of Monesties up the 2.5km climb up the Côte de Bascoul to 335m.
Armstrong will be looking to put major time into Iban Mayo (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Alex Vinokourov (Telekom) and Tyler Hamilton (CSC). But once again at the Tour de France, Armstrong's key adversary is emerging as German powerhouse Jan Ullrich (Bianchi), who is determined to ride an excellent time trial on Stage 12. With temperatures expected to be in the upper 90s and a windy afternoon predicted, Lance will need to ride an exceptional time trial to solidify his lead at the 2003 Tour de France.
