Igor Gonzalez de Galdeano takes Maillot Jaune
By Jeff Jones
 |
In the end it was only a matter of seconds, but Igor Gonzalez de Galdeano's ONCE-Eroski team scored a psychological win over Lance Armstrong's US Postal boys in today's Stage 4 team time trial from Epernay to Château-Thierry. ONCE covered the 67.5 kilometres in a time of 1:19:49 (50.74 km/h), beating US Postal by 16 seconds, and CSC-Tiscali by 46 seconds. It was enough to put Igor Gonzalez de Galdeano in the Maillot Jaune in front of his teammate Joseba Beloki (at 4 seconds) and Armstrong (at 7 seconds).
When Cyclingnews spoke with Igor Gonzalez de Galdeano before the Tour, we suggested that if ONCE won the team time trial, he had a number of options to wear the yellow jersey in the coming stages. "I won't deny that," he replied. "The terrain is good, there is no mountain time trial, and I can have more options. We will fight and if we get it, OK, and if not we will work hard day by day. But it is clear that if the leadership comes, it will be very important for us."
Team member Jörg Jaksche said afterwards that "It was very hard today. I was OK but not too good. So I was suffering a little bit. But it's great to win. That's what we wanted to do and we had a lot of pressure, so it ended up good."
Now they have the lead, it's a question of how hard they will defend it before next Monday's individual test against the clock, which will be a fascinating battle between the top three GC riders. Seven seconds between the top three isn't a great deal, especially as Armstrong is capable of taking minutes back in the mountains. But still, US Postal wanted to win the Battle of the Marne today, as the Allied forces did 87 years ago when they turned the tables on the Germans in the First World War.
 |
In the context of the Tour, the Germans [apart from Jaksche] did lose ground today, as Maillot Jaune Erik Zabel's Telekom team finished in 12th place, 2'47 down. Of course that was not unexpected, and certainly not a disaster for Zabel who can be proud to have worn the yellow tunic for a day. He can now concentrate on his preferred green jersey, although he did look quite impressive in his yellow skinsuit today.
ONCE also looked - and more importantly - rode very impressively today over the up and down parcours into a steady head/crosswind. Despite losing Mikel Pradera early on due to a puncture, ONCE kept it together and were ahead at the final two time checks, having overtaken CSC-Tiscali. US Postal were always between 14 and 38 seconds behind ONCE, managing to limit the damage to 16 seconds in the end after a solid performance over the final 10 kilometres.
 |
"It's disappointing - we wanted to win," said US Postal's George Hincapie after the stage. "We didn't have any problems like last year. No accidents and there was not much difference in the levels of the riders. We wanted to win, it didn't work out. We've still got a long way to go but we still going to focus on the rest of the race."
USPS Director sportif Dirk Demol was more positive: "We're satisfied with the team performance today," he told Cyclingnews. "Everyone was doing his job right. In a team time trial you have to keep as many riders together as you can. We went very fast from the start...Lance was really strong [taking double pulls at key points] and George and Eki too. But mostly it's important that we only lost 16 seconds today."
As for CSC-Tiscali, a tactical blunder may have cost them the stage and the Maillot Jaune for Laurent Jalabert, who was the best placed of the team beforehand. The Danish squad were actually six seconds under ONCE at km 21.5 and km 40.5, but when Danish TT champ Michael Sandstød punctured at 47 km, the team waited for him momentarily, but then decided to carry on without him. They finished the stage in third place, 46 seconds behind ONCE.
 |
When Cyclingnews spoke with Tyler Hamilton afterwards, he admitted that "Today was disappointing. We had a great ride going but Sandstød, one of our strongest guys, flatted. It's part of the sport. Alright...I'll say this: Without the flat we would have won."
"Sandstød [Danish TT champ] is such a strong guy, we would have been 30 seconds faster over that last 10 kilometres, He's an incredible horse. It was our goal to get him over the hill without him suffering too much. Keeping him fresh and it was working perfectly. When he flatted none of us were really tapped out. But it was confusing (when he flatted). We had some radio problems...we didn't realise he flatted right away. We started to wait, soft pedaled for 30 to 45 seconds, then we decided to go. But we lost our rhythm. I was thinking 'It's a bummer. Besides the flat we almost had a perfect ride'."
The score at the end of the day was a big thumbs up for ONCE, a more than satisfactory performance for US Postal, and a missed opportunity for CSC-Tiscali, but by no means a disaster. Of the other teams with GC hopes, Cofidis (Millar, Kivilev) lost 1'44 to finish 5th, iBanesto.com (Mancebo, Menchov) lost 1'56 to finish 6th, Rabobank (Leipheimer) lost 2'16 to finish 8th, Kelme (Botero, Sevilla) lost 2'19 to finish 9th, and Lampre (Rumsas) lost 2'22 to finish 10th.
Tomorrow takes us back to the flats with a 195 km stage from Soissons to Rouen, undulating but devoid of any real climbs.
