Pereiro Tries Again and Wins

Stage List, Stage Profile, Photos

The Spaniard, Oscar Pereiro, delivered the goods in stage 16 after joining the day-long break. The Phonak rider's aggressiveness paid off when he won the four-man sprint into Pau. Armstrong came under light fire today on the two major climbs. T-Mobile and Team CSC turned the pressure on, but the teams could not damage the Discovery rider. Armstrong remains in the Maillot Jaune with five stages remaining.

The weather had cooled off for the stage departing from Mourenx. The attacks were heavy from the start to form a proper escape group. Finally, before the day's first sprint, the right mix of riders were up the road: Xabier Zandio (Illes Balears), Cadel Evans (Davitamon-Lotto), Fred Rodriguez (Davitamon-Lotto), Juan Antonio Flecha (Fassa Bortolo), Chris Horner (Saunier Duval-Prodir), Cèdric Vasseur (Cofidis), Anthony Geslin (Bouygues Telecom), Jérôme Pineau (Bouygues Telecom), Philippe Gilbert (Française Des Jeux), Jörg Ludewig (Domina Vacanze), Ludovic Turpin (Ag2r-Prévoyance)

Two climbs laid heavy on the peloton's mind: The Col de Marie-Blanque (Cat 1 at 70K) and the Col d'Aubisque (Hors Cat at 108K). On the Marie-Blanque there were fireworks in the form of Alexandre Vinokourov (T-Mobile). He was blowing the yellow jersey group for his main man, Jan Ullrich. It was George Hincapie (Discovery Channel) who helped police the situation for Armstrong, keeping the group tight over the Marie-Blanque.

Eddy Mazzoleni (Lampre-Caffita) and Oscar Pereiro (Phonak) joined the day's escapees before the start of the Col d'Aubisque. The thinning breakaway moved steadily up the Aubisque, while behind the fireworks started again. The tifosi were soon jumping up and down with excitement when T-Mobile were driving hard at the base of the Hors Cat. monster. Vino rocketed up the road as the pace was kept high by his teammates. Soon all the Disco riders, but Armstrong, were gone. Team CSC lent a hand with Carlos Sastre, who helped thin the pack down. It was likely that Ullrich was trying to distance Rasmussen (Rabobank), and not Armstrong. But with 7OK to the finish from the top of the Aubisque, the move was never going to work. The Dane held tight to the German's wheel, protecting his 3rd overall on GC.

First over the top of the Aubisque was the Aussie, Evans. The Davitamon-Lotto rider started bombing down the descent to Pau, and was soon joined up by Mazzoleni, Pereiro and Zandio. Evans was moving up the GC-charts and was willing to put all of his blood into the move. He was seen doing the longest of pulls on the run-in. Zandio (Illes Balears) was policing the group for Paco Mancebo, who was being threatened by Evans.

It was again Ulle jamming the accelerator as the peloton neared the top of the Aubisque. The German was cranking the pace on his Giant carbon machine, trying to bust up Rasmussen. He did some damage, but it all came to nothing on the descent. The peloton regrouped on the long run home.

Evans kept the pace high all the way home for GC time. Italians were placing all their Euro coins on Eddy Mazzoleni (yes, named after Eddy Merckx) to win from the foursome. The Bergamasco is a proven warrior, and his team needed the win. But the Spaniard Pereiro was out for blood. The Phonak man had been dissed in stages 11 and 15, and was now searching for revenge. The dark-horse was considered to be Zandio. No one knew what the Illes Balears rider was capable of, and he was setting 4th wheel. Mazzoleni and Pereiro went head to head at 500 meters after Evans faded. There was no gas left for our Italian friend and Pereiro got his win. Zandio nipped past Mazzoleni, almost catching Pereiro. Evans moved from 11th to 7th in GC ... Bravo Evans!
