Stage 2 - March 29: Les Vieilles Forges (Les Mazures) - Monthermé, 98.5km
Voigt in familiar spot atop Critérium's podium
Jens Voigt (Saxo Bank) formed part of the early break to win the second stage of France's Critérium International, 98.5 kilometres between Les Vieilles Forges and Monthermé. The German left his last companion, Daniel Navarro (Astana), two kilometres from the line to take a solo victory Sunday morning. Danny Pate (Garmin-Slipstream) also passed Navarro shortly before the line.
Voigt's Directeur Sportif Kim Andersen was happy that his leader rode another strong Critérium stage. "Jens was in the breakaway for nearly 100 kilometres, but the other riders in the breakaway were not strong enough to create a bigger." Voigt holds a small lead heading into the decisive afternoon's race against the clock. "Seven seconds is not much when a time trial is waiting later this afternoon. I will not be disappointed if he does not win overall after the morning's huge effort."
Voigt took over the general classification lead from Jimmy Casper (Besson Chaussures). The four-time winner will be the last rider off in this afternoon's time trial, the third stage of the two-day race.
Break forms quickly
The short stage meant there were immediate attacks, with Rémy Di Gregorio (Française des Jeux) taking off to get over the Côte des Vieilles Forges by himself. On the descent, Voigt, Navarro, Clément Lhotellerie (Vacansoleil) and Alan Pérez (Euskaltel-Euskadi) joined Di Gregorio.
At the bottom of the aptly named Mont Malgré-Tout ("Mount Despite-All") the break was 1:30 ahead of the peloton. Race leader Casper lost ground here despite trying to do all to hang on. Sandy Casar (Française des Jeux) jumped from the peloton and eventually reached the front group.
The gap held fairly steady and three climbs later, the group was still 1:05 ahead over the Côte de Perrières. Lhotellerie was the first to drop back, unable to follow the rapid tempo set by Voigt. A climb later, Di Gregorio had trouble holding the German's wheel.
The second time up the Malgré-Tout (km 75) the leaders – Voigt, Casar and Navarro – had only 28 seconds over the peloton that also included Perez, who couldn't follow the fast pace in the front. Voigt and Navarro resisted, while Casar couldn't follow suit.
Over the top, Voigt was slightly ahead of Navarro, but had only 25 seconds over the peloton. He and Navarro joined forces for a fast descent and extended the lead to 45 seconds.
Christophe Moreau (Agritubel) countered from the field in pursuit of the leaders, reaching Jérôme Coppel (Française des Jeux). The Frenchman had taken off a little earlier. The two got to within 35 seconds at km 85. However, Voigt and Navarro held their own.
