Turpin Survives to Briançon

Ludovic Turpin (Ag2R Prévoyance) was the last man to survive from a day long escape, riding solo to win stage five in Briançon. The 31 year-old Frenchman went clear early into the 155K stage, covered two categorized climbs with his campanions, before going solo on the hors catégorie Col d'Izoard and then holding off the approaching peloton into Briançon. There were not any significant classification changes. Leipheimer (Gerolsteiner) still leads the race with 28 seconds over Menchov (Rabobank).

Three climbs filled up this grueling 155K stage: Col de Sarraut (985m, cat 4), Col Lebraut (1110m, cat 3) and the hor cat Col d'Izoard (2360m), which left 16K of downhill to the finish in Briançon.

Of course an early break was going to go and of course there had to be French representation. We are in the Dauphine Libéré. Three riders went clear early on, and none of the BiciRace.com squadra really expected them to stay away, but one did! The three riders, all on French teams: Norwegian Thor Hushovd (Crédit Agricole) and two Frenchmen, Jérôme Pineau (Bouygues Telecom) and Turpin.

They built up their gap heading towards the Hautes-Alpes region, reaching a maximum of just over eight minutes by the feed zone in Saint-Clément-sur-Durance. The threesome had a good advantage heading into the Col d'Izoard, but many of us expected this to crumble.

The gap did start to crumble. Caisse d'Epargne took over control from Gerolsteiner and started to lift the rhythm, while in front Pineau, who was working well all day, started to struggle. Eventually, -30K, Pineau was blasted and Turpin was left with only the big Norwegian, Hushovd, for company. But shortly after the going got tough for Hushovd, he was forced to leave Turpin to struggle on his own.

At this point it looked like game over for Turpin. The 31 year-old, with 2'33", had another eleven kilometers until he reached the summit of Izoard, followed by another 16K of technical downhill. But Turpin was able to survive the hors catégorie climb, keeping a gap of 40" over the chasers at the summit. The Frenchman's chances were now better staying clear, he had clear lines to take the descent into Briançon as fast as possible.

Behind in the peloton the pace was being upped. The big news of the day was that Vino looked in a world of his own, a world which did not involve hanging with the big guns. Towards the front of the charge it was Christophe Moreau (Ag2R Prévoyance) and old favorite, Iban Mayo (Euskaltel-Euskadi) firing the cannons. Leipheimer, Menchov, Caucchioli, Mancebo, Mazzoleni and Kohl joined in on the move.

The chasers gobbled up Pineau and then Hushovd, leaving only Turpin left. The boys blasted down the other side of Izoard, being joined by Hincapie from the rear, and were hammering towards the French escapee. The numbers did not work in the chasers' favor, Turpin was a free man.

Even with the final uphill kick to Briançon, Turpin was able to struggle and keep his advantage to win. He deservedly started to celebrate in the final 500 meters. It was a day-long effort for Turpin, but it succeeded and brought him one of his best wins.

Join us tomorrow: Stage 6 should decide who will win the Dauphiné. Starting in Briançon, the peloton will first tackle the Col du Galibier. After a long, cold descent the peloton will then face the Col de la Croix de Fer by way of the Col du Glandon. The final test of the day will take the riders up to the unknown climb of La Toussuire.
