London calling: Wiggins on track for Tour prologue

With a one second advantage over defending champion Levi Leipheimer, who seems to be on form for claiming his second Dauphiné in a row, Bradley Wiggins has collected the first big win on the road in his six-year long career. The Englishman has mostly put his mark as a valuable favourite for the prologue of the Tour de France in the town where he grew up. London's calling him seriously now!

"It was a very different course from the prologue in London," he said. "This one was for pure specialists like George Hincapie." It was held right in the centre of the capital of the Alps, pretty much where the first edition of the Critérium took shape 60 years ago for the real first year of cycling revival after World War II.

Because of elections in France for the Parliament one month after the election of Nicolas Sarkozy as the the President of the Republic, the organization of the Dauphiné had to observe a ten minutes break after each group of nineteen riders; that was the agreement with the local authorities to give people the possibility to cross the streets and go and cast their ballot. It made the event last almost four hours.

The weather conditions for the prologue of the Dauphiné in Grenoble were different for the 149 starters. Rain appeared for some of the first riders, like Dutch champion Stef Clement or Ukrainian pursuiter Volodymyr Dyudya, who scored the first best times. There was no more rain when George Hincapie took over the lead in the third-to-last group and the asphalt was totally dry when the big names rode.

Andrey Kashechkin beat the American and looked like a possible winner until Wiggins rode two seconds faster. "On the first section of the 4.2km course, there was a false flat and my room-mate Geoffroy Lequatre told me there was a lot of head wind. But just before I started, Rik Verbrugghe, who went just before me, told me it was totally different now." There was no more wind indeed.

Wiggins was four seconds behind his other teammate Sylvain Chavanel at the half way point. His return on the back side of the hot dog-shaped parcours was absolutely brilliant. "I am in a super good condition, maybe the best of my life," he reckoned. "I've really done an excellent race. Last year I also did the prologue flat out and I came in 20th or something. It was the same at the Tour de France, I only finished 16th."

The Englishman arrives in fine form just in time. "I'm in my 6th year as a pro and I only got my third win on the road," he realistically commented. "When I turned pro with Française des Jeux, everyone knew I had the potential for doing things like this, as Bradley McGee was doing. Now I believe this win gives me the status of a favourite for the prologue of the Tour de France, which I wasn't before. I can make the top 5 in London. There will be David Millar, David Zabriskie, George Hincapie and Fabian Cancellara as well."

Wiggins has preceded three of them in Grenoble. "I won the time trial at the Four Days of Dunkirk as well but you can only beat the guys who are there," he said. It means his win at the Dauphiné has a very high standard. And the duel between Wiggins and Millar has started for good. 'Wiggo' isn't surprised about Millar not making the top 10. "I knew he wouldn't be super but he's building up again after his crash at the Tour de Romandie and he'll be at his top for the Tour prologue in London, there's no doubt about that."

Now it's pretty sure that Wiggins will make the Cofidis team for the Tour, which hasn't been announced yet. He'd be happy to see his teammates defend his yellow jersey till the long time trial on Wednesday but he will not ask them for that and he'll understand if the management chooses another tactic. "Sylvain Chavanel is up for something on GC," he warned.

Stage one from Grenoble to Roanne is set to be the first – and maybe only – battle of the sprinters with an expected duel between Tom Boonen and Thor Hushovd. The Belgian showed his class by finishing 7th of the prologue while the Norwegian was "a little bit disappointed" with his 16th place. "I rode fast on the second half only", Hushovd commented. "I really hope for a bunch sprint tomorrow", he added as he's chasing his first win of the year and deeply wants it before the start of the Tour de France, where he knows that the prologue will not suit him as much as the one he won last year in Strasbourg.
