Philippe Gilbert Steals Show

Philippe Gilbert (Française Des Jeux) stole the show in stage 2 of the 58th Dauphiné Libéré. The 23 year-old Belgian, who broke-clear of the peloton early in the stage with two Frenchmen and then went solo with 35K to go, arrived in Saint-Galmier as they happiest man in France: Gilbert won the stage, took the race leader's yellow jersey from Wegmann (Gerolsteiner) and finished with enough buffer to possibly win the overall race, which finishes this Sunday.

The Dauphiné Libéré delivered the kind of racing that inspires hope in the hearts of escapees. Gilbert and two Frenchmen, teammate Sébastien Joly and Cédric Vasseur (Quick-Step), broke clear of the peloton with some 160 kilometers remaining to the line. Ahead of the threesome was a rolling stage with four category 4 climbs; nothing too serious but enough to tire the legs.

Joly and Gilbert had the numbers on Vasseur in the escape. The FDJ duo used their powers to rid the 35 year-old veteran on the slopes of the third climb of the day, the Côte de Brioude. Vasseur, a broken man, was shortly picked up by the peloton, while Joly was setting up affairs for a solo effort by Gilbert.

The Belgian bid farewell to his hard-working French mate with 40K remaining and nearly seven minutes on the peloton. Victory was by no means assured for Gilbert, he had to face the final climb, the Côte de Duerne, and the some lonely closing kilometers through the beautiful Loire region.

The Loire scenery must have done enough to stun the peloton and inspire our Belgian friend: At -15K Gilbert had a gasping 6'30" over the Crédit Agricole led peloton. The boys in green rode their hardest to bring back the lone Belgian and to set up the sprint for Hushovd.

Hushovd's game was over and will likely have to wait until Sunday for another sprint opportunity, while Philippe Gilbert celebrated one of his finest victories. At only 23 years-old the Belgian is making a name for himself this year: It was the same youngster earlier this season who "manhandled" the likes of Van Bon and Pozzato to take the Belgian Classic, Het Volk. Gilbert, with five minutes and change over Wegmann, might just be able to hold on through tomorrow's 43K time trial and the coming high mountains to win the overall this Sunday afternoon in Grenoble. Stay tuned!
