Stage 2 - March 27: Les Vieilles Forges - Monthermé, 98.5 km
Strong performance by Dekker the Younger
Four riders in contention for the overall
|
The second stage of the Criterium International selected four riders for the overall victory, which will be decided this afternoon with an 8.3 km time trial. The winner of this morning's hilly 98.3 km stage to Monthermé was young Rabobanker Thomas Dekker, who beat Jörg Jaksche (Liberty Seguros), Bobby Julich and Ivan Basso (Team CSC) at the top of the côte de la Roche aux Sept Villages. Interestingly, all four riders can time trial, which should make the final stage a closely fought affair.
The next group, which included Ruben Plaza (Comunidad Valenciana) and defending champion Jens Voigt (CSC), came in at 1'28, too far back to be contenders for the GC.
The stage was run in damp, misty conditions, with nine climbs to be tackled. The first climb saw the decisive break, as Jaksche, Julich, Basso, Vaugrenard, Bergès, Bonilla, Ziegler and Zampieri broke clear of the peloton, joined by Dekker after km 15. Jaksche was the best rider on all the climbs, winning all of them expect the first and securing the mountains jersey.
The break was quickly whittled down to the four strongest: Dekker, Jaksche, Julich and Basso, as the rest fell off the pace. Jaksche was climbing well but it was Dekker who was the best on the final ascent to the finish, winning the stage. The peloton did not fare well at all, with 72 riders (nearly half of the peloton) being eliminated at the end of the stage after missing the time cut. Also, the front 18 riders included seven from Rabobank, an impressive performance by the orange team.
This afternoon's deciding time trial will be run over a flat 8.3 km course in Charleville-Mézières. With the time gaps being so small, it's very hard to pick a favourite.
