Stage 6 - September 6: Chauvigny - Guéret, 144 km

Jesus! Still no French win...

By Jean-François Quénet

With three riders in a five man breakaway, a French stage win finally looked like a real possibility in Guéret, but the happy winner was Spaniard Jesus Del Nero of Orbea, whilst the leader of the Tour de l'Avenir remained Lars Ytting Bak from CSC.

Rémi Di Gregorio (Française des Jeux), Maxime Médérel (Auber 93), Sébastien Duret (Bretagne-Jean Floc'h) and Alexei Kolessov (CAPEC) took off with Del Nero when the finishing line was still 76km away. They got a maximum lead of 5'30 and the bunch was never a threat for them. With 5km to go Di Gregorio and Médérel attacked, but got caught at the 2km mark. "I believed we would make it but there were many roundabouts at the end and I didn't take a turn properly," Médérel regretted when going and getting his new polka dot jersey. Di Gregorio was even more furious. He already missed the split on stage 3, although he started the Tour de l'Avenir with high ambitions after finishing 5th in the Tour de l'Ain.

Bak was still smiling in Guéret. "I don't know how things will go when the climbs will be longer and harder than today," he said, "But when Maxime Monfort attacked me today, I didn't panic and Andy Schleck did a good job bringing him back."

There are more fights to come as the race has now reached the Massif Central.
