Zabriskie and his magic number

Less than one month prior to the start of the Tour de France, David Zabriskie is back in yellow. He has won the prologue of the Dauphiné, a race he never took part in previously, but that doesn't mean he's got a secured start at the 2006 Tour de France, despite having been the fastest on Day 1 last year. CSC is putting together the best team possible with the most experienced riders at the service of Ivan Basso.

Thierry Cazeneuve, the organizer of the Dauphiné, couldn't find a more charming location than the road nearby the lake of Annecy, probably the most prestigious town in the French Alps, where the race hadn't held a stage for the last 16 years. A straight road was chosen with a U-turn. It was dead flat without much wind to interfere. "I like a course like that, for sure," Zabriskie commented after winning. "There weren't so many corners. It was just a question of going as fast as you can go. The legs' speed was the most important."

Zabriskie isn't the most agile cyclist when it comes to cornering. He added: "It's a little bit of a surprise, because it's been a while since I've raced. My last competition was the Tour of Georgia, I mean the last one with the team. I've also done local things where I live in Utah. Just for the shape. I was hungry for racing again. It was exciting." That new program meant to skip the Giro d'Italia, where he was revealed at the highest level of world cycling with a time trial stage win last year. "I think I made the right choice to focus on the second part of the season, I was maybe over-raced last year. My teammates were doing so well in Italy! That brings motivation for training."

Asked about the Tour de France, Zabriskie answered ironically: "I think it starts on July 1st..." His participation is in question though. CSC's directeur sportif Alain Gallopin indicated, "Very few cyclists are able to accelerate like him on straight roads like today's. Tactically speaking, everyone knows his flows. We'll need a great experience around Ivan (Basso) at the Tour de France."

"I'm on the list," Zabriskie said. "There are 15 on the list and the nine best riders will start the Tour. For sure, there will be Ivan. The other eight will decided soon. Of course there is a possibility for me to be there. I've done the necessary work. Bjarne (Riis) will decide and I'll support his decision, whatever it is."

The Dauphiné gives him a chance to convince his staff. "I've never done it before," he said. "I know it's very competitive. I've never done the Mont Ventoux and I'm looking forward to see this thing. I'll keep the yellow jersey for at least one night. I don't see myself in the lead till the end, but there is another time trial I'm interested in."

It was sunny with very little wind near the lake of Annecy, where Frenchman Christophe Edalaine (Crédit Agricole) scored the first interesting best time with 4'45. Russian champion Vladimir Gusev (Discovery Channel) stayed in the lead for a while with 4'43 until Joost Posthuma (Rabobank) beat him by a little. Sebastian Lang (Gerolsteiner) was the first to score 4'42, and Stuart O'Grady (CSC) the first to clock 4'41. It was tight between them all, so it was very impressive when David Zabriskie (CSC) rode home in 4'35 at the average speed of 53.509 km/h.

The commissaires examined Floyd Landis' bike closely, whose handlebar was in an unusual upright position, but they okayed it. The winner of Paris-Nice couldn't help for an all American top three. He clocked the 9th time, while George Hincapie (Discovery Channel), who hadn't raced since he crashed in Paris-Roubaix, was close to repeating his success from last year at the prologue of the Dauphiné. Two seconds separated the two Americans. "Two seconds? My magic number!", Zabriskie said. He also rode two seconds faster than runner up Lance Armstrong in the inaugural time trial of last year's Tour de France.
