Stage 1 - September 12: Gdansk – Elblag, 149.6 km

Cooke breaks 18-month dry spell

By Daniel Marszalek

Australian sprinter Baden Cooke from Francaise des Jeux has won first stage of the Tour de Pologne after a dramatic finish at the streets of Elblag, passing Italian Luca Paolini from Quick Step only in the final few metres. Former under-23 world champion Francesco Chicchi (Fassa Bortolo) took clear third place,after peloton was split in the last few hundred metres due to crash that happened on the last corner of the course. Thanks to ten seconds' bonus for the stage win, Cooke became first leader of the race with four seconds advantage on Paolini and five ahead of Robert Forster (Gerolsteiner).

This morning before the stage 44 riders from teams: Credit Agricole, Fassa Bortolo, Francaise des Jeux, Liberty Seguros, Team Miche and Saunie Duval had their blood checked, with all of them declared fit to start the race. The proper start of the 62nd Tour de Pologne was delayed by no less than 30 minutes since judges decided to wait for unfortunate Euskaltel-Euskadi and Illes Ballears riders, who were unable to fly from San Sebastian yesterday. They were expected to arrive at Gdansk-Rebiechowo airport at 12.30, while honorary start of the TdP was originally scheduled for 12.56. Finally both teams found their way to Dlugi Targ (Long Market) at the old center of Gdansk, but Illes Ballears signed the start list with just five men, and Euskaltel with seven.

The first kilometres were ridden in a moderate pace until peloton came close to first intermediate sprint of the day at km 23 in Pruszcz Gdanski. This sprint was taken by German Robert Forster (Gerolsteiner) ahead of two Francaise des Jeux riders, Carlos Da Cruz and Lilian Jegou. Shortly after that, a large group of 15 riders broke away from the peloton with three Discovery Channel men (Viatcheslav Ekimov, Giennadi Mikhailov and Jaroslav Popowych) and two from Fassa Bortolo (Andrus Aug and Gustav Erik Larsson) and Intel-Action (Piotr Wadecki and Cezary Zamana). But such a break on a short stage (less than 150 km in distance) was too dangerous for many of race favourites, and it didn't last long. The main bunch, however, did allow a lone breakaway to go, when Frenchman Frederic Bichot from Francaise des Jeux attacked at km 42.

Bichot gained advantage of 2:00 by the km 55 mark and won second intermediate sprint of the day in Tczew at km 52. Forster was again the fastest from the bunch with Aurelien Clerc from Phonak taking third place. After a couple of attacks, six riders joined the lone leader at km 63. In this group there were three Intel-Action men: Bartosz Huzarski, Tomasz Brozyna and Ukrainian Bogdan Bondarev; two from Quick Step: Davide Bramati and Cristian Moreni, and well known in Poland, Estonian Jaan Kirsipuu (Credit Agricole). Bramati won third intermadiate sprint in Malbork at km 71 ahead of Huzarski and Brozyna, while they had already 2:50 on peloton. Their maximum lead reached 3:45 but as the race was getting closer to Elblag, the sprinters' teams began their chase.

When both groups crossed the finish line in Elblag for the first time (with still 5 x 6,7 km laps to go) Kirsipuu, Bramati, Moreni, Bichot, Huzarski, Brozyna and Bondarev had just 1:37 advantage on the chasing pack and lap by lap it melted away. With four laps to go it was just 1:20, with three 0:55, and with two just 0:25, until the seven man lead group was finally caught on the penultimate lap.

On the last lap Lampre was setting the pace, but it was Paolini ahead of Cooke who were the fastest into last very tight corner. Despite being pushed to the barriers by the Quick Step rider, Cooke managed to find enough speed to come around Paolini and claim his first win in Europe since March 2004.
