Merckx Solos to Grenoble

Axel Merckx put in a huge solo move today to win stage 5 of the Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré. The son of Eddy Merckx, "The Cannibal", made his move at nearly 100K from the line, covering 4 of the 5 days climbs alone. It was a roller-coaster of a course that Merckx road to perfection, securing his first win since 2003 in the Tour de l'Ain.

It was on the 2nd climb of the day, the Col de Grimone (Cat 2), where young Merckx made his move. 7K from the summit, the Davitamon-Lotto rider made his escape for freedom and glory. Maintaining around a solid gap the whole escape, carefully managing his efforts. Never building up a extremely huge gap that would worry the peloton.

A move of 10 did form off the peloton in pursuit of Merckx. Noval, Mourey, Hushovd, Chavanel, Flecha, Bossoni, Aerts, Mazzoleni, Casero and Landaluze made an attempt to reel in the solo move. The group never really worked well together, and back in the peloton it was "piano, piano", all in favor of Merckx.

Iñigo Landaluze (Euskaltel-Euskadi) and Eddy Mazzoleni (Lampre-Caffita) made their move from the chase group on the Côte des 4 Seigneurs. The duo was no match for the 32 year-old Merckx, who was determined to arrive to Grenoble alone. It was a downhill run from the final col to the line, and Merckx became a winner. Landaluze was content, his time gap back to a lazy peloton meant that he was now the new race leader. Taking over from Levi Leipheimer (Gerolsteiner), who had a small tumble on the final descent.

The Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré is sure to be exciting over the weekend's final two stages. Landaluze has a 3 minute gap back to the serious contenders, meaning he will face all sorts of heat. There are many who want overall victory in this tour, so stay tuned.
