Gutiérrez gobbles up Faron
|
Spanish rider Iván Gutiérrez (Caisse d'Epargne-Illes Balears) took the morning stage of Thursday's double-stage day with a win on Mont Faron. Coming down to a four-rider sprint in the finale, he beat Thomas Lövkvist (Française Des Jeux) to claim the stage win and overall leadership of the race from Italian Danilo Napolitano (Lampre-Fondital), who won the opening day's stage.
With an average gradient of 8.9%, the 5.5km climb up Mont Faron slit the field, and it came down to Gutiérrez, Lövkvist, Pietro Caucchioli and Rinaldo Nocentini in the final kilometres. "I am astonished to have won on the summit of Mount Faron," said Gutiérrez after the stage. "I was told that someone had already crossed the finish line ahead of me," explained the Spaniard, before adding, "but it was good that I was able to beat the Italian rider Caucchioli."
