Tour du Languedoc-Roussillon - 2.1
France, May 19-23, 2004
Stage 1 - May 19: Maury - Port-Vendres, 167 km
Hushovd just quicker than Dumoulin
|
The opening stage of the "reborn Midi Libre" has been won by Norwegian Thor Hushovd, who outsprinted Samuel Dumoulin (Ag2R) and Jérôme Pineau (Brioches la Boulangère) at the end of the 167 km stage between Maury and Port-Vendres. Hushovd thus became the first yellow jersey wearer in this five day/five stage race held in the southeastern region of France.
The race was held in warm sunshine with a field of 112 riders taking the start in Maury (Eastern Pyrenees). It didn't take long for the attacking to begin, and by kilometre 20 a breakaway of three riders had established itself. Walter Beneteau (Brioches la Boulangère), Jeremy Roy (FDJeux.com) and Philippe Koehler (MrBookmaker.com) were able to escape the clutches of the peloton, and the trio created a handy gap at the top of the day's first climb of the Col d'Aussières (km 38). Beneteau was first to the top ahead of Roy and Koehler, and the order was the same for the Col des Auzines (km 62) and Col de la Bataille (km 89).
|
On the descent of the Bataille, Koehler was dropped from the lead group and quickly found himself back in the peloton. Beneteau and Roy had a 6'30 lead at the foot of the Col de Llauro (km 111), but Credit Agricole, Ag2r and Phonak had started the chase and the gap gradually began to fall. With 35 km left it was down to 5'30 and the leading pair still had a chance to stay clear. But on the last climb of the day, the Côte de Port-Vendres (km 159), they were caught by Iñaki Isasi (Euskaltel) and Laurent Lefevre (Brioches la Boulangère), who had counter-attacked the peloton, but they couldn't stay clear for long.
The bunch came back together in the last 8 kilometres for a mass sprint uphill in Port-Vendres, and Thor Hushovd demonstrated his enormous power to come around Dumoulin in the last 20 metres to win the stage and take the first maillot jaune of this tour.
Tomorrow's second stage takes place between Port-Leucate and Narbonne over 188 km, featuring four categorised climbs. It should be another one for the sprinters, unless a break can succeed this time.
