Frenchman Moncoutié Wins on Bastille Day

Stage List, Stage Profile, Photos

The French pride was out in force on Bastille day in the Tour de France. David Moncoutié (Cofidis) came home solo for a win on the national holiday. The Frenchmen attacked out of the day's escape group on Col du Corobin, with 35K to go. The peloton came in at 10 minutes back, Lance Armstrong (Discovery Channel) kept the leader's yellow jersey.

It was a hot day for the peloton as they left Briançon. Heading south, leaving the Alps, the route was a rough roller-coaster of leg-breaking roads. The attacks started thick and fast. Bradley McGee (Française Des Jeux) put in a nice dig that saw him stay clear past the days first sprint point. Then it was the French's favorite, Thomas Voeckler (Bouygues Telecom), who put in a move. His move was also quickly brought back and overshadowed by Discovery Channel news. Manuel Beltran took a tumble and was knocked out. Even though Beltran appeared fine, the race doctors refused to let the rider continue for his own good.

At 74K into the stage the day's move formed. Frenchmen David Moncoutié went on the attack. His move was quickly joined by the tall figure of Axel Merckx (Davitamon-Lotto). Soon enough there was a move of 13 riders that formed. Other names were: Stephan Schreck (T-Mobile), Giovanni Lombardi (Team CSC), José Luis Arrieta (Illes Balears), Massimo Giunti (Fassa Bortolo), Juan Manuel Garate (Saunier Duval-Prodir), Angel Vicioso (Liberty Seguros - Würth), Patrice Halgand (Crédit Agricole), Franco Pellizotti (Liquigas-Bianchi) and Sandy Casar (Française Des Jeux). Also making the group was Thor Hushovd (Crédit Agricole) and Stuart O'Grady (Cofidis), both in the hunt for green jersey points.

The group worked well and quickly gained a considerable gap. Mid-way, by the Col Saint-Jean, the escapees had nearly 4 minutes. There was no GC threat in the break, enabling them greater freedom. Back behind it was a day of Discovery. Disco was heading up the peloton riding tempo on the many small climbs. Their tempo was aided by Davitamon-Lotto, who was keen to bring back the move for Robbie McEwen, who needed sprint points. It was strange work, given Merckx was in the break.

Then on the Col du Corobin (cat 2) it was the French rider David Moncoutié who went solo with 35K to go. French fans went nuts, there were only 3 Frenchmen in the day's break, and Moncoutié had the potential to deliver. This shattered the break, leaving two chase groups behind the Cofidis rider. The first group of 7 contained: Merckx, Arrieta, Garate, Halgand, Vicioso, Casar and our Italian friend, Pellizotti.

Back in the 1969 Tour in Digne, it was of course, Eddy Merckx who won. Today it was his son, Axel, who was going full-bore to win. The other six would chase down his attacks, but not work together. The group was left to look at each other, no one willing to work together to bring back Moncoutié. The Frenchman was free for glory on Bastille day.

The peloton came rolling in at 10 minutes. Lance Armstrong was safe in yellow, but a little upset about the loss of his man Beltran. Tomorrow the race should be a sprinter's affair and offer the GC riders a chance of "rest" before the weekend ahead.
