No-Fuss Floyd Takes GC and Vila Stage

Spaniard Patxi Vila (Lampre-Fondital) sucker punched his breakaway companion, Floyd Landis (Phonak) to take his first ever victory as a professional, but il Americano gained enough time to take the leader's yellow jersey from Tom Boonen (Quick-Step). Samuel Sánchez (Euskaltel-Euskadi) finished third and now sits third on the GC behind Landis and Vila.

The traveling caravan, also known as the peloton, found itself in the lovely Beaujolais wine region of eastern France this morning. The weather, however, was not quite as pleasant as the surroundings. Shortly before noon the riders headed out into a very steady drizzle that would leave only the strongest standing at the end.

The riders tested their legs on the gentle 5.2% slopes of the category 3 Col de Brouilly before settling into some serious racing. Jens Voigt (Team CSC), Christophe Laurent (Agritubel), Aitor Osa and Sergio Paulinho (Liberty Seguros-Würth) formed a quartet only to be joined by Maxime Monfort (Cofidis), Allan Davis (Liberty Seguros-Würth), Aitor Pérez Arrieta (Caisse d'Epargne-Illes Balears), Koldo Fernández (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Jérôme Pineau (Bouygues Telecom), Nicolas Jalabert (Phonak), Guido Trenti (Quick-Step) and Alexandre Botcharov (Crédit Agricole). The dozen riders now off the front had some serious climbing prowess in the form of Osa, Botcharov and Voigt. You could bet the chasing peloton would not grant them a lot of freedom.

The rhythm being set by the dozen was apparently a little too much for the likes of Voigt, Pineau, Fernandez and Jalabert as they gradually drifted back into the anonymity of the peloton. The other eight riders now struggled to maintain their slight one minute lead over the fast approaching peloton.

The claws really started to come out on the category 2 Cote de l'Aubépin. Thirteen riders: Haimar Zubeldia (Euskaltel), Aitor Pérez Arrieta (Caisse d'Epargne-Illes Balears), Alberto Contador (Liberty Seguros-Würth), Iker Camaño (Euskaltel), José Alberto Martínez (Agritubel), Johan Van Summeren (Davitamon-Lotto), Sandy Casar (Française Des Jeux), Pietro Caucchioli (Crédit Agricole), José Luis Rubiera (Discovery Channel), Juan José Cobo (Saunier Duval-Prodir), Linus Gerdemann (T-Mobile), Eric Leblacher (Française Des Jeux) and Alexandre Moos (Phonak) went clear and quickly absorbed the remnants of the previous break.

Martínez was the first to crest the slopes of the Col de l'Aubépin with the lanky Van Summeren hot on his heels. Martínez decided two was better than one and partnered up with Van Summeren while the other 11 riders were picked up by the Rabobank-led peloton.

When the 10K long Col de la Croix-de-Chabouret began at kilometer 150 local hero, David Moncoutié, sensed that Van Summeren was weakening and went for the jugular behind Martínez. Landis, Antonio Colom (Caisse d'Epargne), Samuel Sánchez (Euskaltel), Fränk Schleck (CSC), Patxi Vila (Lampre-Fondital) astutely got on the wheel of Moncoutié and the half dozen riders went out in pursuit of Martínez. They bridged to Martínez with 23K left in the race. With his smoking-hot form that saw him take victory in the Tour of California, Landis, along with Vila, flew the coup 2K from the summit of the final climb. Because of his mountain biking background Landis can descend mountains like a demon, he and Vila actually increased their advantage on the descent of the Col de la Croix-de-Chabouret.

Going into the final kilometer Landis led-out Vila and looked to have the win when Vila snatched it out from under him at the last second. Landis took consolation from gaining enough time to move him into the overall lead of Paris-Nice.
