Chapeau lone warrior Anthony Charteau!

In one fell swoop, the lean, mean, green team of Crédit Agricole have virtually cemented their place at the top step of the 2007 Tour de Langkawi podium when the race concludes in Kuala Lumpur, one week from today.

133 kilometres beforehand, making the early break was all 27 year-old Anthony Charteau was concerned about. But on the long, 40 kilometre-long climb to Kg. Raja, each of his four breakaway companions dropped off the pace and fell by the wayside. The idea was that he would wait at the top for team leader Francesco Bellotti for the final climb to Brinchang - but with a significant advantage, Charteau was given carte blanche to give it all he had.

"Clearly, Francesco Bellotti came here to win after finishing second in the Tour de Langkawi last year," said Charteau on the game plan prior to the start of the race. "We also had the intention of looking after Benoît Poilvet, who is riding really strongly after our off-season training camp.

"I'm not a bad climber myself and I can also play a role, so initially I was here just to go with the breaks, because I'm not in the best shape just yet. When it became obvious the advantage was significant, it was decided it was enough for me to keep going on my own after the first climb."

That's exactly what Charteau did, earning not only a magnificent stage victory and becoming the first Frenchman to wear the leader's jersey in the history of the race, but retaining a massive four-minute advantage over second-placed Colombian Walter Pedraza (Serramenti PVC Diquigiovanni) and a half-minute more on the Bouygues Telecom pair of Yoann Le Boulanger and Thomas Voeckler.

And guess what? Three of Charteau's team-mates finished right behind this lot - including supposed sprinter William Bonnet!

With four of their riders now in the top 10 on GC, to say anyone other than one of this quartet will win overall next Sunday would take a very ballsy punter indeed. The only way this could happen would be for an all-out, combined assault from the Gianni Savio's Serramenti PVC Diquigiovanni squad and Bouygues Telecom on the eighth stage to Genting Highlands, and a complete Crédit Agricole collapse. Possible, but highly unlikely.

"Considering the lead I have now, I will play to win overall," declared Charteau. "The training camp we did in the off-season has paid off, and to have four riders in the top ten will make things easier to defend the yellow jersey. It's going to hard; I don't know much about the Colombian rider [Walter Pedraza] who's now second [on GC], but I presume he climbs well.

"On Genting, everything will depend on my condition on that day: it's true I have a good advantage and that it might be possible to win overall. But if I don't, Bellotti is a really good climber and he likes these kind of gradients, like Genting, so if I'm not able to do it, he will."

Perhaps the only sour note for Crédit Agricole was the relegation of Bonnet for drafting, who was provisional points leader after the stage ended. Following a successful protest from Koji Fukushima's Nippo-Meitan Hompo team, the quirky Japanese rider retains the points jersey, though regardless, it's not what these guys flew 3,308 miles for.

Said Fukushima: "For our team, our objective is to win one stage of the Tour de Langkawi, so we are not so concerned about the [points] jersey. Today was a very, very hard stage and Anthony Charteau was very strong. The problem is," he added with a grin, "tomorrow, I want to attack again, so I will ask my directeur to let me go."

On the days till Genting, Charteau said: "I'm not worried about the flat stages - at Crédit Agricole, we're used to riding hard on the flat."

How it unfolded

All 135 riders who finished yesterday's stage signed in for today's Cameron Highlands sufferfest. Kicking off at 12:30pm from Kuala Kangsar, the 133 kilometre journey involved three intermediate sprints and two Cat. 1 KOMs, ending with a nasty 7k pinch to Brinchang.

A fast start (yes, we're beginning to sound like a broken record player...) saw 45 kilometres covered in the opening hour, but 17 kilometres before that, five riders - Anthony Charteau (Crédit Agricole), Michael Creed (Slipstream), Yukiya Arashiro and Koji Fukushima (Nippo-Meitan Hompo), and Won Jae Lee (Korea National Team) - left the grasp of le peloton.

Believing the break not to be dangerous, 9 minutes and 15 seconds was their advantage by km 60, with Creed dropped at the base of the first climb shortly thereafter. 10k later (km 70), a surge by Charteau saw the Frenchman alone, as a trio trailed in his wake. By the crest of the climb, Charteau was five minutes ahead of this Nippon-Korean chase group, eight minutes ahead of Loh Sea Keong (Discovery Channel Marco Polo), and 9'35 ahead of Walter Pedraza (Serramenti PVC Diquigiovanni), who attacked the main bunch a few kilometres from the summit.

Continuing to blaze a trail that eventually lead to glory, Charteau was also first over the next climb, followed by Fukushima, Arashiro, Lee and Pedraza. Succeeding his team-mate Saul Raisin in Brinchang one year ago, the Frenchman celebrated with arms aloft, 3'54 over a hard-chasing Pedraza and 4'29 on Yoann Le Boulanger (Bouygues Telecom).
