More to come from Rabobank

The Rabobank school still has a lot to offer. Twenty year-old Coen Vermeltfoort has scored his second win in the flat first stage of the Tour de Bretagne after taking the UCI 1.1 Profronde van Drenthe ahead from Bobbie Traksel in his backyard two weeks ago.

"That race was finishing just ten kilometres away from my home town Slapharen," the Dutchman explained. "I didn't expect to win it, but since I did, I feel very good on my bike." Last week he came 5th in the Nations Cup ZLM Tour.

Vermeltfoort is a sprinter in the making. "It's my first year at the Tour de Bretagne," he said. "I think it's a great race. We've seen very nice countryside today. In two weeks time, we have the Olympia's Tour at home but this race here is very important too. I know I'm fast but I didn't know what I could do here. At least I wanted to give a try."

There is more to come from the Rabobank Continental team in the seven-day Breton tour. "If things go as today I can also target the overall classification," Vermeltfoort admitted. "But the time trial on the second last day will play a big role. We have good time triallists: Lars Boom, Jos van Emden, Thomas Berkhout... Almost everybody in our team can win this race. But we are not there yet. The competition is very good. We know the Bretagne-Armor Lux team since the Tour of Normandy, but they are not our only opponents."

The Bretagne-Armor Lux team gave a perfect lead out to Vermeltfoort, but is actually more focused on the general classification and did not want any of their rivals, such as Gatis Smukulis (VC La Pomme), taking an advantage on day one. Their sprinter Stéphane Bonsergent had to brake towards the finishing line because of a TV motorbike that went a bit too slow. "It might have cost me the third place but I wouldn't have won anyway," Bonsergent admitted.

Stage 2 of the Tour de Bretagne also suits the sprinters before the much harder stages to come. The parcours has been chosen partly by five-time Tour de France winner Bernard Hinault who is back on his bike for training now that he's retired from farming.

The first four men in action alongside the gulf of Morbihan were Maarten de Jonge (Beveren 2000), Maart Ojavee (Rietumu Bank), Casper Jorgensen (Denmark) and Yukiya Arashiro (Meitan-Hompo). But the peloton was also very active.

At km 30, a group of ten riders took off: Alexander Kristoff (Joker Bianchi), Stéphane Bonsergent (Bretagne-Armor Lux), Nico Keinath and Tim Klotz (Ista), Timothée Lefrançois (U Nantes-Atlantique), Loïc Muhlemann (SCO Dijon), Thijs van Amerongen (Van Vliet), Kevin Lalouette (CC Nogent-sur-Oise), Takashi Miyazawa and Koji Fukushima (Meitan-Hompo). But they too didn't get far.

Gatis Smukulis (VC La Pomme) attacked many times by himself. He was a member of the 13-man breakaway that hit the final circuit (6 laps of 12.1km) in Sarzeau. From that group, he attacked with Benoît Geoffroy (SCO Dijon).

A few counter-attacks developed but none of them managed to come across. The gap of one minute was closed by Bretagne-Armor Lux within the final lap but Coen Vermeltfoort (Rabobank) was the fastest of the riders who caught the two unfortunate escapees with 200 metres to go.
