Philippe Gilbert's longest day in the lead

Philippe Gilbert, one of the most likeable pro cyclists, has taken the lead in the Dauphiné at the end of a 160 kilometre-long breakaway. He shared his victory with his teammate Sébastien Joly, who is also his roommate. The two Française des Jeux riders, for most of the time with Quick.Step's Cédric Vasseur, weren't afraid of riding against the wind though the vineyards of Beaujolais prior to descending towards the city of Saint-Galmier where the French fizzy water Badoit is produced.

The champagne was well deserved at the end for Gilbert. "I had never done that before", said the winner of the Het Volk, exhausted. The young Belgian, who will turn 24 on July 5 when the Tour de France will be visiting his region of Wallonia with a stage start in Huy, was known more as a sprinter or an explosive rider for tight finishes.

There was no plan in doing a long breakaway at Française des Jeux. "But we don't have a lot of opportunities, so we had to take that one," team manager Marc Madiot declared. His feelings were shared between an extraordinary joy and the anger against the cheats revealed by the 'Operation Puerto' in Spain. He suggested there might be a link between FDJ's strong anti-doping policy and the fact that they hadn't won a race since March (a stage of the Three Days of De Panne with Bernhard Eisel).

Gilbert had high ambitions in the classics after winning Het Volk, but an intestinal virus turned him down. He rode the first half of the Giro d'Italia and made a few top 10s before pulling out and gearing up for the Tour de France, a race he'll take part in for the second time. Gilbert might be young, but he also hasn't missed any Belgian national selections for the World's or the Olympics since he rode as junior in Plouay in 2000. This is a true talent in international cycling.

"But this was way too long," he complained about his race, although he was extremely happy to have achieved this kind of stage win. "I didn't want to drop Seb (Joly) but it would have been too dangerous to wait for him", he added. "For me, it's the same as if I had won myself," Joly stated. "I love this spirit of sacrificing one for the other."

The Gerolsteiner team of race leader Fabian Wegmann didn't bother to race flat out to bridge the gap, and Crédit Agricole had done enough the day before and didn't want to get flicked again. The uphill finish suited Thor Hushovd, but Samuel Dumoulin avoided the sprint for second place and anticipated it at the bottom of the hill. "For me, a second place in the Dauphiné is a good result, we had reconnoitred the course of this stage with the team before," the shortest pro rider explained.

Stage 3 is a long time trial. Gilbert will probably try and keep his yellow jersey for one more day. He's not a real specialist, but he always tries to improve and always has a decent ride at the Chrono des Herbiers, now renamed Chrono des Nations. But the day after tomorrow, another race will begin with the Mont Ventoux for a stage finish. It's time now for the top favourites to show up.

How it unfolded

Vasseur attacks

Samuel Dumoulin, the winner of stage 2 in the Dauphiné last year, was the first man in action but was caught at km 7. The Rabobank duo formed of Joost Posthuma and Erik Dekker tried as well, but wasn't allowed to go. Neither was Frédéric Bessy (Cofidis) at km 34, although he was the "regional de l'étape", the race going later through the vineyards of Beaujolais where he hails from.

At km 44, three men finally managed to break clear: Philippe Gilbert and Sébastien Joly (Française des Jeux) and Cédric Vasseur (Quick Step). They reached a maximum advantage of 7'50 as they climbed the côte des Pommiers, the first climb of the day whose summit was located after 107 kilometres.

Vasseur got dropped by the Française des Jeux duo in the côte de Brioude with 50km to go. Later on, Joly was also not able to follow his teammate who still had more than 6 minutes lead 30km before the finish. Gilbert crossed the line 5:19 ahead of Dumoulin who made a strong attack on the uphill finish.
