Stage 5 - February 17: La Crau - La Garde, 145 km
Tour Med an Italian feast
|
After already two Italian victories in the race, the fifth stage of the Tour Med saw an all-Italian podium in the finish in La Garde, with Acqua&Sapone's Gabriele Balducci taking the stage victory in a bunch sprint before his countrymen Daniele Bennati (Lampre) and Mirco Lorenzetto (Milram). Caisse d'Epargne's Iván Gutiérrez is still wearing the Yellow Jersey.
Today, Balducci scored his eighth win as a pro. "I'm really happy!", he commented. "The team did a fantastic job, especially Andriotto and Codol. After that, Lampre took over, but during the sprint, I knew I was stronger than Bennati... and I showed that I'm in top shpae right now."
The stage starting in La Crau was characterized by strong wind, which broke the bunch in several parts, mostly during the first part of the stage. Two riders, Dimitri Champion (Bouygues Telecom) and Andryi Grivko ( Milram) were the authors of a long breakaway and their advance reached more than six minutes, but unfortunately for them the bunch was packed together under the red flag announcing the last kilometre.

On the eve of the last stage, which will take place tomorrow in Italy between Dolceacqua and Sanremo (122 kilometres, with the climb of the famous Poggio in the final part), Iván Gutiérrez still leads the general classification ahead of Ricardo Serrano (Tinkoff Credit Systems), who is the second at 52 seconds from the Spanish rider.
“The stage of tomorrow will be something more complicated, but I feel pretty well and I trust in my teammates to control the race till the finish. Today the team showed one more time that it is in great shape and I hope that the same will happen tomorrow”, commented Gutiérrez in the finish.
