Farrar roars again

One year after attracting a lot of interest from Cofidis, and just after signing his pro contract early this week, American sprinter Tyler Farrar has claimed another stage win in the Tour de l'Avenir. It was a classical bunch sprint following a five man breakaway.

After only 6 kilometres into the race, Antoine Dalibard (Bretagne-Jean Floc'h) who was the 'enfant du pays' at the beginning of the stage, and Kazakh Alexei Kolessov (CAPEC), who had no clue of the terrain, took off. They were joined at km27 by Philip Deignan (Ag2r), Gregory Habeaux (Landbouwkrediet) and Ronny Martias (Bouygues Telecom). The latter was the most active in the hot sprints. He became the virtual race leader after winning two of them. With 50km to go, the five men reached their maximum lead of five minutes, and the usual scenario followed with the team of the yellow jersey chasing and the sprinters' teams taking over to bring the bunch together again within the final 10 kilometres.

"We didn't get much help until Française des Jeux, and then Rabobank started working with 20km to go," race leader Lars Ytting Bak explained. "We know the game: because we won yesterday, we had to do the work today. When we began to ride hard, we gained 2 minutes in 20 kilometres on the breakaway group." Since the wind wasn't blowing much in the east-north direction, it wasn't a big task for CSC to keep the yellow jersey in stage 2 but it may become more complicated when the race will head south with some crosswinds expected.

FDJ's Australian sprinter Mark Renshaw was boxed in by his teammates during the final kilometre, while Rabobank looked to be working well for Hans Dekkers, but Farrar made a smart move. "With 1km to go, my teammate John Murphy put me to the front just behind Dekkers," the eventual winner said. "It was a fairly safe sprint. I came here to win a stage and it's done already. For the green jersey that I have now, we have to see how the next days go."

Farrar who hails from Bellingham, Washington, will ride next year with Cofidis, for which he signed his first pro contract early this week. "I talked with Cofidis last year after winning a stage in the Tour de l'Avenir," he said. "But I needed one more year for my development. I talked to a few people but I think Cofidis is the best team for me because cycling is so big in France." And the Tour de l'Avenir is still the place for making a show before riding the Tour de France. Americans know that when this race was reintroduced in the cycling calendar 13 years ago, Lance Armstrong carried the polka dot jersey till the end.
