Weening Wins and Armstrong's Disco Disappears

A breakaway has yet to be successful in this year's Tour de France. That all changed today. Andreas Klöden (T-Mobile) and Pieter Weening (Rabobank) bombed into the streets of Gérardmer taking turns on the front. Klöden was thinking of the 20 second time bonus on offer, while 24 year old Weening was thinking only of stage glory. It came down to a two man sprint which Weening was able to edge out by the narrowest of margins. Armstrong kept the yellow jersey, but was put on the ropes by T-Mobile today.

Jorg Ludewig (Domina Vacanze) shot off the front at kilometer 0 and was later joined by Rubens Bertogliati (Saunier Duval-Prodir). Inevitably, these two would get caught, and it seemed their outing was nothing more than a way to grab a little publicity.

A seven man break consisting of Juan Antonio Flecha (Fassa Bortolo), Ronny Schölz (Gerolsteiner), Pieter Weening (Rabobank), Niki Sorensen (CSC), Cèdric Vasseur (Cofidis), Salvatore Commesso (Lampre-Caffita), Nicolas Jalabert (Phonak) went clear of the peloton and looked to have the right mix of firepower to stay away. Michael Rasmussen (Rabobank) was very active early on in the stage and was able to capitalize on some climbing hot spots giving him the rights to wear the polka dot jersey in stage 9.

Just prior to the final climb of the Col de la Schlucht it was Liquigas-Bianchi and Illes Balears spearheading the chase. Evidently they fancied the chances of their leaders Stefano Garzelli and Alejandro Valverde.

At the bottom of the climb Weening hit his escape companions hard and showed some rear wheel straight away. He would have about 15K of climbing and 15K of descending before he could claim victory. The fireworks started big time on the slopes of this climb. Alexandre Vinokourov (T-Mobile) darted off the front perhaps just testing Armstrong (Discovery Channel) who was on him straight away. Vino attacked again and again, and it was Armstrong who personally covered the break. All the big heads of state were there: Basso, Ullrich, Landis, Armstrong, Vinokourov. But where were Armstrong's Discovery domestiques? BiciRace.com suspects there's going to be some "talking" tonight at the Discovery dinner table.

Photo Finish, photo: Tour de France

Surprisingly, the next rider to have a dig was none other than last year's second placed rider, Andreas Klöden (T-Mobile). With his jersey completely unzipped he shot off the left side of the road and immediately got the gap. He was over two minutes down on GC so Armstrong didn't immediately respond. Just as Weening was about the crest the top of the climb, Klöden blew by him to take the mountain sprint, but that was of little interest to him. The two began the perilous descent. With about 2K to go their lead was a precarious 8 seconds. They kept hammering the pedals and threw their bikes across the line in what would be a photo finish. Upon examination, the race referees gave the win to the young Weening in his first ever Tour de France. This was aggressive racing at its finest. The main GC men came in 27 seconds later. Stay tuned for more.
