McGee Powers to Maillot Jaune in Paris

Emotional highs and lows mark centenary prologue

After the greatest win of his career, 27 year old Sydneysider Brad McGee (FDJ.com) told French TV in his excellent French that "I had a good race today and we have a good team at FDJ.com; what I did today was because everyone worked well together. We worked out a plan together to win and that's the way it turned out...I'm very, very happy."

On an overcast, humid afternoon on a technical course through the middle of Paris, McGee powered home on his 55x11, with his rear tyre going flat in the last 500 meters, but confirming his pre-race status as a pre-race favourite with a narrow half-second win over Scotsman David Millar (Cofidis), prologue winner in the 2000 Tour De France in Futuroscope.

From the euphoria of McGee to the dejection of Millar, who likely lost a chance at a 2nd TDF prologue win today due to a mechanical problem. Millar told Cyclingnews post-stage that "I'm really disappointed about my race today. I lost at least 5 seconds when the chain got caught between the chainrings - that happened to two other guys on the team today."

Did TDF boss Jean-Marie Leblanc jinx Lance Armstrong's chances today by convincing the four time TDF winner to finally wear the Maillot Jaune in the Tour prologue? Armstrong, a man who is loyal to his habits, agreed to wear the yellow tunic and ended up with one of his worst Tour prologue finishes ever. "I'm a little bit disappointed by the way things went. I certainly wanted to win today since it was the Centenary prologue. I started a bit slow and just couldn't get up to speed after that," said the disappointed defending Maillot Jaune.

Despite the surprising performance by Armstrong, USPS-Berry Floor director Johan Bruyneel was happy about the team performance. "The team rode incredibly well today; we showed are here to race." Indeed, USPS-Berry Floor put four guys in the top 13 with Peña (5th), Armstrong (7th), Ekimov (10th) and Hincapie (13th).

Finishing a surprising third was Euskaltel-Euskadi rider Haimar Zubeldia. Not really a prologue specialist, Zubeldia surprised himself with his ride today. "I haven't been expecting to ride so well that at the Tour, but today showed I had good legs so I can hope to do something at this year's Tour", said the Basque rider.

In contrast to Lance's minor disappointment, Giro d'Italia winner Gilberto Simoni (Saeco) was pleased with his ride today. "Buono, buono", said Simoni of his 21st place, just 6" behind Armstrong. "That first climb was kind of tough on the legs, but after that I was able to make a good comeback...I haven't raced much since the Giro so I need a few days to get used to the race. This was a good start to the Tour for me."

American Tyler Hamilton was also pleased with his 2003 Tour De France start with an excellent 6th place. The man from Marblehead told Cyclingnews that "It was hard today...the smaller guys (like me) suffered a little bit more on the cobblestones. Typically the bumpy roads favour a heavier rider. Normally I like to have a higher cadence but on the cobbles, it's better to push a bigger gear. So maybe I'll be in the top 10. For me that's a good start to the Tour De France."

Another happy man was recent father Jan Ullrich (Bianchi), who powered to an excellent 4th place today, the first time he's ever beat Armstrong in a Tour De France prologue. "I'm super satisfied about how things went today", said Ullrich. "This was a good jump from my Tour de Suisse form to the Tour and so my gap today to the prologue specialists like McGee was very close."

World #1 rider and Italian champion Paolo Bettini (Quick.Step-Davitamon) lost 22" today but he was please with his ride. "I started well, especially in the first half, but when I hit that long straight (along the Seine) it looked like an airstrip it was so long. But anyway I had good legs and am here to win stages."

Bettini's Quick.Step-Davitamon teammate Mick Rogers was tipped as a favourite, ending up with a respectable ride for 19th, 13" behind McGee. "This stage was too short for me. I only get going after 10km or so", explained the 24 year old Aussie.

Stage 1 - July 6: Saint-Denis/Montgeron - Meaux, 168km

The Stage 1 start will be at the Stade de France sports complex north of Paris in Saint-Denis, where local lad Carlos Da Cruz will get a plaque from the Saint-Denis mayor. Then the peloton will promenade south across the centre of Paris on perhaps the most historic stage of the centenary Tour.

At Montgeron, where the first Tour commenced a century ago, in front of the Café Reveil Matin, the entire peloton will stop in commemoration of the first Tour de France start. Then Stage 1 starts for real, heading south through the farmlands and suburbs of Essone, then east to the Brie cheese city of Meaux, where sprinters will battle for the honours in this most prestigious of Tour stages.
