With Alexander Vinokourov crowning a week of impressive rides, Astana has won four stages out of eight (prologue included) at the Dauphiné where overall winner Christophe Moreau from Ag2r has been the only rider apart from the Kazakh team to get the honours after Bradley Wiggins from Cofidis and Heinrich Haussler of Gerolsteiner claimed the inaugural stages.

Vino knows how important the Dauphiné is for the Chambéry-based Ag2r team. Only once before had they won the big stage race of their region and it was with Vino in 1999 when Ag2r was co-sponsor of Casino. "I have experienced racing for Vincent Lavenu here," Vino said with a smile. "Moreau is the only rider who has amazed me by how strong he is. He put 2 minutes on the other ones on the Ventoux and yesterday, he attacked strongly again. He was the most impressive rider in this race. In my opinion, he's already in too good a form."

The Dauphiné is always seen as a pre-Tour de France event with some riders giving everything and others holding back. The hierarchy of the Dauphiné is usually not the same one month later. But the 2007 edition, 60 years after the creation of the Alpine event, has given the certainty that Vinokourov is the number one favourite for the Tour de France.

Neither him nor his lieutenant Andrey Kashechkin have tried to win the overall classification but Vino has proven to be the same rider as the one who attacked in the first and last week of the 2005 Tour de France: in Nancy before the slippery finish that favoured Lorenzo Bernucci and on the Champs-Elysées in Paris where he won. Although he now has the status of a captain of his team and is a hot favourite for the GC, he's got the same fighting spirit. In the coming Tour de France, he might attack where no one expects it, as he did today in the five final kilometres towards Annecy.

"I always race with the hope of winning," the Kazakh said. "Today, I didn't chase behind Piepoli because it was dangerous, but I had nothing to lose when I did it behind Leipheimer. He crashed, unfortunately, but I think I would have beaten him in the sprint. When I realized that a fourth stage win was possible, I went for it. Four stage wins for our team in the Dauphiné is a magnificent result."

Vino can be happy with his teammates that he chose himself. "I know I had worked hard and well before the Tour," he said. "But maybe I didn't have a total confidence in my team. During this Dauphiné, these doubts have been eliminated. Even if only four or five riders from the team here will be at the Tour as well, now I know that I can trust them for La Grande Boucle."

Moreau didn't have any major problem keeping his lead during the final stage. "But we had to stay focused," he commented. "I was alone in La Forclaz at the end but I didn't panic. I have enough experience by now. It's fabulous to win the Dauphiné for the second time after 2001. I thought I'd go well and I wanted to grab a stage win but I didn't think I would win the Ventoux, the GC and that I would have these legs."

Now the question is: will the Frenchman be in the same condition at the Tour de France in three weeks' time? Or is he on the same path as Leipheimer who won the Dauphiné last year but had a disappointing Tour? At least Moreau has already made a spectacular impact in the French media during a sport weekend where cycling has made the headlines – for the right reasons – despite the parallel running of the legendary endurance car racing of the 24 hours of Le Mans.

How it unfolded

As the race started with going down the Col du Télégraphe, 52.9 kilometres were covered in the first hour! Thor Hushovd (Crédit Agricole) broke clear by himself at kilometre 11. Nine kilometres further, he received the reinforcement of a group of seven riders, consisting of Philippe Gilbert (Française des Jeux), Manuel Quinziato (Liquigas), Enrico Franzoi (Lampre), Kevin Seeldraeyers (Quickstep-Innergetic), Egoi Martínez (Discovery Channel), Fabian Wegmann (Gerolsteiner) and Maxim Iglinsky (Astana), whose win the day before has obviously given him extra motivation. He was also the highest ranked breakaway rider, lying in 29th place at 11'40".

After 50 kilometres of racing, the peloton, led by riders from Euskaltel and Milram reduced the gap from almost three to two minutes. But the hard chase didn't last long. The eight escapees got their lead back up to almost three minutes again at the bottom of the Col de Tamié. Gilbert was the first over the top with the front group split in two. Only Iglinsky, Seeldraeyers and Martinez managed to follow the Belgian uphill but the eight men regrouped at kilometre 98.

The peloton came closer under the action of Euskaltel. The Basque team of former Ag2r rider Mikel Astarloza looked like working for the good of race leader Christophe Moreau. In the climb of La Forclaz, Laurent Lefèvre (Bouygues Telecom), who had joined the front group by himself, rode ahead of Seeldraeyers. Gilbert, Martínez and Iglinsky were 5 seconds behind and the peloton including the yellow jersey only 25 seconds back.

Saunier Duval increased the speed of the main group in order to get Leonardo Piepoli off solo. The Italian was first on the top of La Forclaz. The group behind him was reduced to Moreau, Levi Leipheimer, Alberto Contador and Sergio Paulinho (Discovery Channel), Denis Menchov (Rabobank), Cadel Evans (Predictor-Lotto), Alexander Vinokourov, Andrey Kashechkin and José Redondo (Astana), David Zabriskie (CSC), Manuel Beltrán (Liquigas) and Tadej Valjavec (Lampre).

Piepoli used his downhill skills to build a small lead over the front group that he kept when they exited the descxent and entered the flat roads alongside the lake.

With nine kilometres to go, Evans attacked behind Piepoli on a wet and slippery road but Zabriskie and Moreau were quick to chase him down. Piepoli got caught and. Evans countered, but couldn't get away. Menchov tried also but it was Leipheimer who successfully rode away. Unfortunately, the Californian crashed on a roundabout with less than four kilometres to go and Vinokourov, who was on a solo chase behind the American, became the only man in the lead.

Vino arrived alone in Annecy. Oscar Pereiro (Caisse d'Epargne) got his first result of the year by winning the sprint for second place while Moreau put his arms up in the air with the satisfaction of having won the overall classification of the Dauphiné Libéré 2007.
