Norwegian prodigy Boasson Hagen beats the old French pros
By Jean-François Quénet
Norwegian time trial champion just 20 years of age, Edvald Boasson Hagen has earned another important victory today when he and his Norwegian team-mates bested the seasoned French professionals on stage one of Paris-Corrèze. Boasson Hagen arrived solo in Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat, the home town of French cycling legend Raymond Poulidor, and the future T-Mobile rider claimed an impressive win.
Since Oscar Gatto was the first man in action, it wasn't a major surprise to find the Italian from Gerolsteiner in a group of 25 who went away after 90 kilometers when the peloton split in two parts. From that breakaway, Andy Cappelle (Landbouwkrediet) attacked on a hill but got caught by five riders, three of them being from the Norwegian continental team Maxbo Bianchi. Boasson Hagen was accompanied by former national champion Lars Petter Nordhaug and Gabriel Rasch. Rasch is going to join Thor Hushovd at Crédit Agricole next year, even though he's already 31, he's still full of ambition.
It was Rasch who attacked with 7 kilometres to go and created the conditions for Boasson Hagen to counter him and go for gold by himself 4km before the finish. Gatto, Cappelle and Radoslav Rogina could only ride for second place. As there was no bonus awarded, the advantage of Boasson Hagen doesn't exceed the 12 seconds he arrived ahead of Gatto. "I don't know if I'll be able to keep this jersey," he said very cautiously while his directeur sportif Gino van den Oudenhove added, "I'm not sure if we have the team for defending the lead."
Paris-Corrèze, whose record book was inaugurated by another great Norwegian, Thor Hushovd in 2001, is only two days long now. It's amazing to notice that the first French rider Arnaud Gérard finished only seventh, two minutes down on riders who are used to taking part in national or category 2 events while all the French Pro Tour teams are present.
Boasson Hagen, who has already won stages in Croatia in February, at the Tour of Normandy in March, at the Tour de Bretagne in April and on his home soil at the Ringerike GP in Norway in June, will face the proud rebellion of local squads.
