Sprinters breakaway sees Nazon win
A group of 14 riders dominated proceedings in the third stage of the our du Poitou Charentes et de la Vienne from Montbron to Chauvigny, won by Bonjour's Damien Nazon. The group contained a number of sprinters, but no threats to Nicolas Jalabert's lead on GC, so they were allowed to stay away and finished with a 5 minute lead to the peloton. In second place was Norwegian Thor Hushovd (Credit Agricole), while third went to Fred Rodriguez (Domo).
The group got away at the 25th kilometre, with Damien Nazon, his brother Jean-Patrick (FDJeux.com), Thor Hushovd, Fred Rodriguez, Elio Aggiano (Mapei), Fabrice Gougot and Alexandre Usov (Phonak), Philippe Gaumont and Robert Sassone (Cofidis), Niels Brouzes (BigMat), Yuri Krivstov (Delatour), Pedro Soeiro (Boavista), Stéphane Barthe (St Quentin). Shortly after, they were joined by Jean-Michel Tessier (Cofidis) and Gorka Gonzalez (Euskaltel).
The teams that missed the move included AG2R Prévoyance, CSC Tiscali, Nürnberger and Gerolsteiner, but there was no panic in the peloton as none of the breakaways threatened Nicolas Jalabert's lead. The gap was pegged at around 6 minutes, although the break was never in danger of being caught.
The attacks in the leading group started when they approached the first finishing passage in Chauvigny, with Aggiano taking the initiative. He was joined by Hushovd, Gougot, Damien Nazon, Tessier, Gonzalez, Rodriguez, Krivtsov and Barthe, with the others falling behind. These nine stayed together to contest the sprint, with Damien Nazon claiming the victory over Hushovd and Rodriguez.
The tour will be decided tomorrow with two stages, a morning time trial over 23.9 kilometres followed by an afternoon stage from Chauvigny to Saint-Benoît (101 km). Realistically only five riders are in contention for the podium, with Jalabert having to defend a 13 second lead over Trentin.
