Cooke Conquers Sprint Chaos

Baden Cooke (Française Des Jeux) outgunned Luca Paolini (Quick-Step) at the end of stage 1. The stage finish into Elblag was marred with a crash in the final turn. The crash put an end to the chances of several sprinters. Along with the stage win, the Aussie took the leader's jersey.

Today's stage ended with a 6.7K circuit, that was ridden six times. An escape of five came on to the circuit first. The group contained Estonian sprint-man, Jaan Kirsipuu (Crédit Agricole), and four home riders from Intel-Action.

The peloton was closing their gap as the circuits counted down. Behind driving the pace was Française Des Jeux, Liquigas-Bianchi and Quick-Step. There was only a gap of 1'20" with 3 circuits to go. By the start of the final circuit the day was over for Kirsipuu and crew.

The tifosi in Elblag were banging the side-boards with anticipation of a sprint show-down. The sprint offered plenty of excitement but bad luck for some. There was the last right-hand corner with 300m to go that took several riders down. On the approach to the corner you could see the white kit of Cooke go flying from the right to the left side of the road. Cooke took the corner in optimal position, using this benefit for his sprint win over the Italian, Paolini.
