Stage 18 - Friday July 26: Cluses - Bourg-en-Bresse, 176.5 km
Viking victory in chicken town
Two stages until Paris for Armstrong
By Tim Maloney, European editor in Bourg-en-Bresse
 |
This Tour started out badly for massive 24 year old Norwegian Thor Hushovd, who had terrible cramps on Stage 2 while in a break and ended up last on the day, 19'22" behind winner Robbie McEwen. But the talented Credit Agricole rider, who was World U23 TT champ in 1998, has remarkable powers of recovery and was able to take his team's first TDF stage win today and the second ever by a Norwegian rider at le Tour De France, after Dog Otto Lauritzen, who won at Luz-Ardiden in 1987.
The muscle bound Viking was happy after his win in Bourg-en-Bresse, home of the famous blue footed poulet, declaring "It's super! I don't know why, but I'm finishing the Tour very well, so to win a stage is super."
Hushovd barely bested FDJ.Com's Christophe Mengin, a crafty 33 year old Frenchman from Nancy. Jacob Piil, Peace Race winner in 2001, is well known to American fans from his First Union win in 1999. The dynamic Dane looked like a potential winner today, but ended up in tears as he started the sprint from a perfect position, but pulled his foot out of his pedal with 250 meters to go and ended up third.
Piil, who was second in TDF Stage 17 in Montlucon last year is no stranger to bad luck; the day before Milano-San Remo in 2000, he was hit by a car while out training and ended up with 40 stitches in his face and 4 months off the bike. "Mengin was very strong today, but I didn't think he was very fast," Piil told Cyclingnews after the stage. "When I started the sprint, there was only 200m. to go. I was coming from behind with momentum, so there was a good possibility for me to win."

Leon Van Bon, who had instigated the break 172 km before led the remnants of the break in 33" behind Hushovd, while Robbie McEwen took the field sprint over Erik Zabel for 11th place, 11'42" behind the winner. The Brisbane man gained 10 points towards keeping his Maillot Vert, while Zabel grabbed 9 for 12th. With tomorrow's penultimate stage a time trial, Sunday's final stage of the 2002 Tour De France over 144km from Melun to Paris-Champs Elysées should be a ding-dong battle between Zabel and McEwen.
As for Maillot Jaune Lance Armstrong, the almost 4 time TDF champ is looking forward to tomorrow's time trial. Armstrong told French TV that "Today we thought it could be a tough day but Bonjour helped us chase for a while. I wanted to test my legs for tomorrow's time trial, so I was using a bigger gear."
How it unfolded
 |
Another sunny noontime summer day in Cluses with mixed clouds and sun greeted the 153 riders who started stage 18. After a crash in the first kilometre, Leon Van Bon (DFF) made the first move of the day on this transition stage heading west from Cluses at the foot of the Alps across the wooded Jura Mountains to Bourg-en-Bresse. Over the next few kilometres, Van Bon was joined by 9 other riders and the group was off to the races. Joining the flying Dutchman were former First Union winner Jacob Piil and Nicky Sorensen (CSC-Tiscali), ONCE's Jörg Jaksche, Nicola Loda (Fassa), comeback kid Erik Dekker (Rabobank), speedy Telekom sprinter Gian Matteo Fagnini, Viking Thor Hushovd (Credit Agricole), former Maillot Pois Christophe Mengin (FDJ.com) and Frenchman Thierry Loder (Ag2r).
Although Lotto began to chase when the break had a 3'00 lead, USPS moved up front to stabilize the race situation. After an hour of racing, covered at 40.6 km/h, the break only had 2'10" as the Bonjour team had decided to chase hard behind. After another half-hour or so of racing, Bonjour seemed to say adieu to their chances of catching the determined dectet and the break's lead ballooned. USPS resumed their regular rhythm in front of the peloton.
 |
At the halfway point in today's stage, the break was crossing the heart of the Jura Mountains. Their lead had grown with the fast pace up front; the second hour was covered in 43.8 km, despite the hilly terrain, heavy roads and strong headwind. With 90 km to race, halfway up the day's major obstacle, the cat. 1 Col de Richemont, the break had almost 9'00 lead over the still USPS led peloton. Nicki Sorensen had been forcing the pace all day on the corrugated terrain and he took the KOM points on the Cat 1 Col.
Over hill and dale the break rolled on until the attacks started with 30km to go on the final rolling, uncategorized hills. Jaksche and Dekker tried to get away with strong attacks, but it wasn't until Hushovd and Pill countered with 17km to go on a descent, with Mengin bridging that the right combination happened.
 |
"After I finished the mountains, our team doctor took my blood pressure and told me that I had recovered very well," explained the powerful Norwegian post-race.
The tired chasers couldn't bring the break back and in the final meters, Hushovd won from the front, just pipping Mengin. "I hope I can be a good rider in the future," said Hushovd, who may not realize that the future is now.
