Neo-pro Mathieu Ladagnous (Française Des Jeux) took his first win as a pro when he won stage 5 of the Tour Méditerranéen. The 21 year-old Frenchman was able to summon the strength in Hyeres after the team had gone close to a win in yesterday's stage. Française des Jeux have now posted seven wins in 2006 and look to be very strong this year. Cyril Dessel (Ag2R Prévoyance) stays in the leader's jersey after his team rode well for him over today's 122km. It's likely that tomorrow's final stage in and around San Remo will be full of attacks on the Frenchman's position at the top of the standings as his leading margin is still slim.

During today's stage, however, a 14-man break formed soon after the start from from La Londe les Maures. Alexandre Bazhenov (Naturino-Sapore Di Mare), René Weissinger (Skil-Shimano), Andrea Rossi (Acqua & Sapone) (Acqua & Sapone), Blazej Janiaczyk (Androni Giocattoli-3C Casalinghi), Hubert Dupont (Ag2R Prévoyance), Eric Berthou (Caisse d'Epargne-Illes Balears), Hervé Duclos-Lassalle (Cofidis), Daniele Righi (Lampre-Fondital), Aivaras Baranauskas (Agritubel), Bram Tankink (Quick-Step), Jimmy Engoulvent and teammate Rémi Pauriol (Crédit Agricole), plus Française Des Jeux riders Rémy Di Gregorio and Mathieu Ladagnous all made it in the early move that stayed away for the duration of the stage.

Another 500 metres and the break would've been caught, but it was not to be. Lampre-Fondital drove hard in the final kilometres for Bennati and Napolitano to contest the win, but unlike the first stage they didn't time their run properly, and it was left to Ladagnous and teammate Di Gregorio to make the running in the closing moments. The Française des Jeux duo worked well and the 21 year-old secured his first pro win.

Ag2R Prévoyance, much like they did at last month's Tour Down Under, rode together for their man Cyril Dessel and made sure the break never threatened his lead. It never did, and Dessel, speaking after the stage, praised his teammates, saying, "The team worked great... I was a little more stressed than normal with my new responsibilities."
