Christophe Moreau (Ag2r Prévoyance) made a strong impact by winning stage 2 to Saint-Etienne earlier this week. Then, after losing almost three minutes to Alexandre Vinokourov (Astana) during the time trial, he made an even stronger impact on the Mont Ventoux. On the GC, he's now only 14 seconds down on the new race leader Andrey Kashechkin (Astana) who took over from his captain, as planned in the Astana camp while the other star of the race Alejandro Valverde (Caisse d'Epargne) got dropped early due to sickness. His teammates reported that he was not well all night before the stage.

With three weeks to go to the Tour de France, it's always a question of bluff and preparation. In Vino's case, it was deliberate when he chose to let the main group go with 11km to the top of the Mont Ventoux. "When I realized it was getting hard for me, I decided to take it easy," the Kazakh told Cyclingnews after the stage. "I didn't want to spend too much energy here today. I told Andrey that I would keep a slower pace, and he told me he was feeling good. I think he is still in a good position for winning the overall. Everything will be decided by Saturday's stage anyway."

Kashechkin noticed, "We haven't been attacked really and I don't know if I have the rhythm of the race yet." Moreau actually went away for the stage win, not for GC as he thought it was over for him after the moderate result he got at the time trial.

"Winning up here is a mix of satisfaction, anger and revenge," the Frenchman commented. "Last year it was tight with Denis Menchov here, I lost by only 40 centimetres because I didn't pay enough attention to his attack. I had the feeling I had missed a mythical victory. All the great ones have won here, from Virenque to Pantani and also Armstrong." Moreau should revise his cycling history books: Armstrong has never won up the Mont Ventoux. He has given a win there to Marco Pantani though.

"When I won in Saint-Etienne on Tuesday, I thought this would be the must of my week," Moreau continued. "But winning here is just as fabulous as taking the yellow jersey after the prologue of the 2001 Tour de France in Dunkirk. It's magnificent. I have taken some risks for making it. Sylvain (Calzati) was away, we've done a great team work. I got Szmyd to work for catching him. Had Szmyd won, we would have looked stupid. I didn't want to repeat last year's mistake with Menchov, so I kept some strength for the finish but it was damned hard. The Mont Ventoux is such a special climb. I was cramping at the end."

No big difference was created among the big riders of the Dauphiné. Six of them are still classified within one minute: Kashechkin, Moreau, Menchov (Rabobank), Cadel Evans (Predictor-Lotto), David Zabriskie (Team CSC), and defending champion Levi Leipheimer (Discovery). It is keeping the suspense high for the Alpine part of the race.

Sylvain Calzati of Ag2r was the first man in action after only 900 meters of racing. He was happy to see Stéphane Augé (Cofidis), Frederik Willems (Liquigas) and eventually Cédric Vasseur (Quick Step) joining him for reinforcement.

Although they had to face a strong headwind, they got some freedom from the bunch, led by the Astana teammates of yellow jersey wearer Alexandre Vinokourov. The quartet managed to reach a 11.35 lead. At the summit of the col de la Madeleine, a fourth category climb with 28km to go, they still had a seven-minute advantage over the bunch, so there was some hope that one of them could win the stage up the Mont Ventoux.

After the town of Bédoin, the real start of the climb of the 'Giant of Provence', more and more riders got dropped after Alejandro Valverde. Tom Boonen (Quickstep-Innergetic) and George Hincapie (Discovery) were among them in Sainte-Colombe with 17km to go. That's where Philippe Gilbert (Française des Jeux) launched an attack.

The Belgian got caught one kilometer further on. With 14km to go, Inigo Cuesta (CSC) took with him Alexandre Botcharov (Crédit Agricole), Christophe Moreau (Ag2r) and Sylvester Szmyd (Lampre). Calzati became a man alone in the front with 2.40 advantage on the first chasers, reduced to two: Moreau and Szmyd.

With 11km to go, Vinokourov chose not to follow the group where he was well positioned. The remaining riders were: Levi Leipheimer and Alberto Contador (Discovery Channel), Manuel Beltran (Liquigas), Sylvain Chavanel (Cofidis), Leonardo Piepoli (Saunier Duval), Cuesta, David Zabriskie, Chris-Anker Sörensen and Volodymyr Gustov (CSC), Xavier Zandio (Caisse d'Epargne), Igor Anton, Haimar Zubeldia and Mikel Astarloza (Euskaltel), Denis Menchov (Rabobank), Cadel Evans (Predictor-Lotto), Botcharov and Dimitri Fofonov (Crédit Agricole), Andreï Kashechkin (Astana), Sandy Casar (Française des Jeux), and Bernhard Kohl (Gerolsteiner).

Moreau and Szmyd finally caught Calzati four kilometers from the summit. Moreau attacked at the three kilometer mark and took a solo win ahead of Szmyd and Anton while Kashechkin became the new race leader by 14 seconds on Moreau.
