Stage win and overall lead for Dries Devenyns
By Jean-François Quénet in St-Gildas-des-Bois
|
The Tour de Bretagne is one day off, one day on for David Lelay, the key man of the dominating local team Bretagne-Jean Floc'h. Winner of stage 1, he got the race leader jersey back after stage 3 from Andreï Mizourov, but he lost it after stage 4 to young Belgian Dries Devenyns, who was the author of a flamboyant finish in St-Gildas-des-Bois.
"There was one guy still away," he described, talking about Jonathan Dayus from Team U Nantes-Atlantique. "We started our effort as a team with Nikolas Maes leading with 800 meters to go. I had Gianni Meersman on my back wheel, he let a gap go and I was gone. I kept going and no one closed the gap. It's super!"
Devenyns, 22, was the Belgian champion in the beloften (U23) category last year. He has now completed his studies in physical education at the University of Ghent and he can race full time for Beveren 2000, which is a reserve team for Quick Step. "I don't have much experience of stage races though," he said. "But I recover very well here. We'll see what happens in the time trial tomorrow. I've won such a race three weeks during the two days of Flanders but I don't know what I can do on hilly terrain."
This is the first win out of Belgium for Devenyns, who hails from Kluisbergen near Ronse, which is right in the heart of the Flemish bergs. He might like Monday's final circuit in Dinan with a cobblestoned hill for the closing stage of the Bretagne, if he's still in contention. The 14km time trial on Saturday morning should install a new hierarchy between Devenyns, Lelay, Mizourov, Pavel Brutt, Peter Velits, Russell Downing and Dayus.
How it unfolded
|
For almost 100 kilometres, attacks rained one after the other. The riders never took a break. As soon as one man alone got brought back, some others tried their luck, but nothing became concrete until Michael Friedman (TIAA-CREF) went solo at km 92. 27 km later, his lead reached 2'15. The Bretagne-Jean Floc'h team of race leader David Lelay controlled the situation.
At the second time passing the line in St-Gildas-des-Bois, Maarten Neyens (Bodysol) joined Friedman, then dropped him, but he got caught as well in the second last lap. With 5km to go, Jonathan Dayus of Team U Nantes-Atlantique managed to break clear in front the crowd. That was well done just a few miles away from the headquarters of his team. He stayed away until 200 meters to go when a rocket named Dries Devenyns passed him and won by a two second margin, enough to give him the race leader jersey as well.
