Rabobank Makes It Two, Voigt In Yellow

Rasmussen Winning Ride, photo: CyclingTime.com

Danish rider, Michael Rasmussen (Rabobank) carved his name in the annals of Danish cycling becoming one of handful of Danes to win a stage in the Tour de France. Resplendent in the climber's polka dot jersey, the thin figure of Michael Rasmussen was the first to cross the line in Mulhouse. That makes it two stage victories in a row for the boys in orange and blue. Coming in 3 minutes behind Rasmussen, but 3 minutes ahead of Armstrong (Discovery Channel), was Jens Voigt (Team CSC). Everyone's favorite German had enough time to take the maillot jaune from Armstrong.

If you would have said Andriy Grivko (Domina Vacanze) would be the first rider of the day to attack, my reply would have been Andriy who? He tried his luck pretty much right after the start pistol fired off. Not surprisingly though he was caught and nothing came of it. More notably, a move formed with Jens Voigt (Team CSC) with Michael Rasmussen (Rabobank) glued to his wheel. Also there were Juan Manuel Garate (Saunier Duval-Prodir), Christophe Moreau (Crédit Agricole) and Santiago Botero (Phonak). Rasmussen decided enough was enough and said au revoir to his mates.

This move was not too surprising given that Rasmussen got the climber's jersey yesterday, and this would prove to be an ideal opportunity to rack up some major points in that category. Of course, a stage victory would be a nice little gift for his efforts, but if he got caught he would at least still have the climber's jersey. Rasmussen rode with the strength of two men today, and swept all the points along the way further consolidating his lead.

Voigt and Moreau's motives were obvious today. Both riders were high on GC prior to the start of the stage. A good ride today would move them higher up on GC or possibly get the yellow jersey. What is perhaps not as obvious is why CSC team director even wanted Voigt to get the yellow jersey. He had to burn a lot of energy today to get it, energy which will be vital in protecting his team leader, Ivan Basso. Now the onus is back on CSC to ride on the front all day and protect the jersey.

Moreau and Voigt are two big engines, but even they were not able to bring back any time on Rasmussen. With his hand's out on the break hoods and back near totally flat, Rasmussen pushed his carbon fiber Colnago and his body to their limits. When he finished, he had been away for about 167 kilometers. That is epic stuff by the rider who bases himself in Italy. Bravo Rasmussen!

The end result is that Armstrong lost the yellow jersey and moved down to third 2'18" behind new leader, Jens Voigt. Moreau sits in second 28" up on Armstrong. Rasmussen catapulted himself from 68th up to 4th. The big mountains come after tomorrow's rest day. Stay tuned for the fireworks.
