Norwegian Thor Hushovd (Crédit Agricole) has won the first road stage of the Dauphine Libéré in a bunch sprint in Givors. Hushovd made no mistakes as he powered to the line ahead of South African Robert Hunter (Phonak) and Spaniard Juan Antonio Flecha (Fassa Bortolo). It was Hushovd's third stage win in the Dauphine after claiming Stage 1 in 2004 and Stage 2 in 2003.

"That's three years in a row that I've won a stage here," said the delighted Hushovd after the stage. "I feel more confident than last year.

Race leader George Hincapie was protected by his Discovery Channel teammates all day and finished 26th, three seconds behind the winner, but kept his one second lead over Levi Leipheimer (Gerolsteiner). Hincapie benefited from the work of all of his teammates, including Lance Armstrong. "Lance seems to be very good," said Hincapie. "When there was only 25 seconds to the break he decided to close the gap by himself and he did it."

The longest stage of the Dauphiné started in Aix-les-Bains and headed west to Givors, over an undulating 224 km parcours. With just one Cat. 4 and two Cat. 3 climbs to be ridden along the way, it was expected to be a stage for the sprinters' teams to control. The stage started at 10:59am without Bingen Fernandez (Cofidis), who crashed in the prologue, and Santiago Gonzalez (Phonak).

It didn't take long for the attacks to liven things up, as Maryan Hary (Bouygues Telecom) and Alessandro Cortinovis (Domina Vacanze) initiated hostilities after approximately 20 km. A larger group containing nine riders escaped next, but was brought back after 40 km. That's when French cyclo-cross champion Francis Mourey (Francaise des Jeux) countered, and got a gap. He was chased and caught by Jose Vicente Garcia Acosta (Iles Baleares), Sylvain Chavanel (Cofidis) and Oscar Mason (Liquigas-Bianchi), and the four had a 1'30 lead after 50 km. Koos Moerenhout (Davitamon-Lotto) and Andriy Grivko (Domina Vacanze) were able to bridge across, forming a six man break.

At the Cat. 4 Côte de Bilieu after 82 km, Mourey crossed first ahead of Chavanel and Grivko, with the peloton led by Discovery Channel coming up some five minutes behind them. The boys in blue and white never let the break have more than 5'50, and were obviously riding to protect Hincapie's leader's jersey and get in some pre-Tour de France team practice. Lance Armstrong himself took part in the relaying at the front.

Fassa Bortolo lost its U23 World Champion Kanstantsin Siutsou at the feed zone, after the Belarusian abandoned. The next difficulty for the leaders was the Cat. 3 Côte de Chambarand (km 120), where Mourey again crossed first ahead of Grivko, Chavanel, Mason, Garcia Acosta, and Moerenhout. The gap was only 4'30 at that point, and with 104 km still to travel, the break's chances of surviving were very slim.

Chavanel won the day's final climb of the Côte de Hauterives (km 149) ahead of Grivko and Mourey, but the latter had done enough to secure the mountains jersey by the end of the day. Discovery started to lift the tempo with 60 km to go and the gap fell below the four minute mark. Crédit Agricole also came to the front with 50 km left, and the breakaways quickly lost another two minutes, then another, until the peloton had them within its sights in the final 10 km. Nicola Loda (Liquigas) crashed an abandoned the race at this point.

Garcia Acosta attacked the break and stayed away until 4 km to go, when the bunch swept him up and 157 of the 158 riders still in the race came into Givors for the expected mass sprint. As has done in the last two years, Thor Hushovd came across the line in first place, beating Robert Hunter (Phonak) and Juan Antonio Flecha (Fassa Bortolo) for the win. Yellow jersey wearer George Hincapie finished 26th at 3 seconds, but kept his leader's jersey.

Tomorrow's second stage is between Givors and Chauffailles over 187 km, and is not considered a difficult test. Most of the GC riders will be trying to conserve energy before Wednesday's 47 km time trial in Roanne.
