Tour de France, France

Stage 6, Troyes - Nancy, 199K

7 July

Cement Boys Mix a Win in the Rain

Stage List, Stage Profile, Photos

Little known Lorenzo Bernucci (Fassa Bortolo) managed to take his first ever professional victory today. And what a race to do it: the Tour de France under heavy rain. Bernucci's victory was definitely well earned, but had it not been for a crash in the last kilometer by race leader, Christophe Mengin (Française des Jeux), he probably would not have won. The GC remains relatively the same, Lance Armstrong (Discovery Channel) is still in Yellow.

The day began with rain threatening and today Mother Nature didn't disappoint. Today's stage was littered with four category 4 climbs. They wouldn't be enough to cause large time gaps, but provided ample opportunity for a break to get away.

At 9K George Hincapie made in into a break, but with him being second on GC the likelihood they'd be given any leeway was none. Several other breaks tried their hand and were all reeled back in. At kilometer 47 with still 152K to go, two riders, Jaan Kirsipuu (Crédit Agricole) and Karsten Kroon (Rabobank) joined a two man break comprised of Christophe Mengin (Française des Jeux) and Mauro Gerosa (Liquigas-Bianchi). Their lead would reach a maximum of 9 minutes. Mengin was the local boy and often trains on these very roads so his knowledge of the area was intimate. Also working in his favor is the fact that Mengin was once the French cyclocross champion. This would bode well given the apocalyptic race conditions.

With 15K to go, on the final climb, Mengin jumped his breakaway companions and went for broke. Kirsipuu and Gerosa desperately tried to minimize the damage, but Mengin was a man on a mission. Meanwhile, back in the peloton, Team CSC and Discovery were heading the chase. Julich and Voigt were setting an infernal tempo while top dog, Lance Armstrong, was sitting about fifth wheel. Mengin's break had the impetus, but would it be enough to hold off the hard charging peloton?

Around 5K to go Dario Cioni (Liquigas-Bianchi) took a flyer and almost bridged to Mengin. It was valiant move, but just proved how difficult it is to successfully get free of the peloton in the closing moments of a stage. At 4K, team Davitamon-Lotto was hammering on the front trying to set things up for their speedster, Robbie McEwen. His turn of speed is second to none and he's notorious for having stellar bike handling skills in these kind of conditions. When they least expected it, Vinokourov (T-Mobile) attacked the peloton with 2K to go. It looked good for the Kazakh champ as the chase was not well organized. Any bike rider knows that the painted white pedestrian markers in the street are the kiss of death when they are wet and Mengin would unfortunately find this out very soon. He barreled in to a turn at 48Kph and promptly hit the deck. Vino and Bernucci were able to negotiate the turn before the peloton piled up, but it was advantage Bernucci as he made it without clipping out of his pedals, while Vino had to unclip to avoid disaster.

Finally, Alexandre Vinokourov, with his gutsy move, was able to pull 19" back on the GC. The T-Mobile showed class and talent in the closing kilometers. For more details on Vino's heroics, read the Dust Devil's Daily Wrap: The Stone Cold Assassin Strikes!
