Tick. Tick. Boom!
By Jean-François Quénet in Rennes
|
Lars Boom has taken over from Edvald Boasson Hagen at the top of the Tour de Bretagne's general classification in a controversial way, after the Dutchman went away when the Norwegian fell victim to a flat tyre. The incident overshadowed the quality of the stage that reached the capital of Brittany 30 minutes ahead of schedule due to constant attacks by a ferocious peloton.
The Maxbo-Bianchi team of former race leader Edvald Boasson Hagen had to work hard and some damage was done. Their directeur sportif Gino van Oudenhove wasn't holding back after the stage, blasting the rival team's actions to the press. "Rabobank acted like bandits," he declared. "Many team managers agree with me."
Bretagne's Philippe Dalibard echoed van Oudenhove's sentiment, saying: "We have a principle: never attack a man on the ground."
Stage winner Sébastien Turgot from Vendée U acknowledged that he wasn't informed about Boasson Hagen's flat tyre when he attacked just after the last hotspot sprint. Turgot broke clear with runner up Yukiya Arashiro and third placed Boom.

Despite the outcry by rival team managers Boom was to the point on his tactical move. "I knew Boasson Hagen had a flat tyre while I was sprinting for three points and bonus," the Dutchman said. "I went straight with Turgot and the Japanese. I was not gonna wait. It wasn't good for Boasson Hagen but it was good for me."
Following the controversial maneuver, Boom did most of the work off the front during the last 35 kilometres. "Turgot didn't want to work, although he could because he sprinted for the win," said Boom. "Now Turgot is my main adversary," Boom outlined. "Maybe Boasson Hagen is a better time trialist than him but he will not go 30 seconds faster than me."
The second last stage of the Tour de Bretagne is a 25km time trial that will suit the young Dutch stars. But the wind of revenge could blow on Tuesday on a very difficult course that brings the event to a conclusion.
How it unfolded
|
The riders went ballistic from the gun. After eight kilometres Mikaël Chérel (U Nantes-Atlantique), Charles Guilbert (Bretagne-Armor Lux) and Franck Charrier (CC Nogent-sur-Oise) found the way to go and broke free from the main bunch. The trio were soon caught, just like many other smaller breakaways during the day. The Bretagne-Armor Lux and Team U Nantes-Atlantique squads were prominent in most of the day's breaks.
The riders set a high tempo, covering 47.7 kilometres in the first hour over an undulated terrain. After 60 kilometres a 14 men group took shape with Guilbert again, Gabriel Rasch (Maxbo-Bianchi), Martijn Maaskant and Tom Veelers (Rabobank), Evgeny Sokolov (Vendée U), Timo Honstein (Sparkasse), Yohan Lucas and Mikaël Chérel (U Nantes-Atlantique), Julien Fourrier (SCO Dijon), Ivan Gil Martin (Vina Magna), Sébastien Fournet-Fayard (CR4C Roanne), Johnny Hoogerland (Van Vliet), Stéphane Rossetto (CC Nogent) and Shinishi Fukushima (Nippo-Meitan) managing to pull out a gap of one minute 40 seconds.

A further five riders, Jonathan Dayus (U Nantes-Atlantique), Stéphane Pétilleau (Bretagne-Armor Lux), Graziano Gasparre (Amore e Vita), Fabrice Jeandesbosz and Sébastien Turgot (Vendée U), bridged to the break at 117 kilometres. The bunch led by Maxbo-Bianchi was close and consumed the break within the next 15 kilometres, just before the third hot spot sprint of the day at 133 kilometres.
After leading the race heading into the fourth stage Edvald Boasson Hagen (Maxbo-Bianchi) continued his strong form by winning the first sprint. Maaskant, who was third on general classification won the second sprint, which is why runner up Lars Boom (Rabobank) went for the third sprint, unfortunately coinciding with Boasson Hagen's flat tyre. Just after the sprint, Boom continued with Turgot and Yuakiya Arashiro (Nippo-Meitan).
After repairing the tyre, Boasson Hagen was the only rider chasing between the lead group and the main peloton as the riders entered the streets of Rennes. At one point he even dropped the whole bunch, but it wasn't enough as the leaders were too far ahead and Turgot sprinted to victory while Boom snatched the leader's jersey.
