Freire Takes Turn

All of the sprinters are taking their turns in whipping on the World Champion, and today it was Oscar Freire of Rabobank. The Spaniard headed a crew of sprinters, including Tom Boonen who just cannot get a sprint in his favor, into Caen to win stage 5 of the Tour de France. The sprinters teams timed their chase to perfection, axing down the day's escape duo, Samuel Dumoulin (Ag2R Prévoyance) and Björn Schröder (Milram), with two kilometers to go. Boonen does take certain satisfaction in holding the race leader's Maillot Jaune... Now that is cool!

The day's parcours consisted of four climbs: Mont des Fourches (Cat. 4, at 10.5K), Côte du Buquet (Cat. 4, 109.0K), Côte de Saint-Gregoire-du-Vievre (Cat. 4, 134.5K) and Côte du Boulay (Cat. 4, 159K), along with three intermediate sprints: Les Andelys (at 66.5K), Saint-Gregoire-du-Vievre (140.5K) & Pont-L'Eveque (175.0K).

Bouygues Telecom controlled the tempo to hold the race together over the first climb of the day so that their man, Jérôme Pineau, could claim maximum points. After the top of the climb the pace became uncontrolled and soon an escape of eight was able to make it clear. The eight were Samuel Dumoulin (Ag2R Prévoyance), Sebastian Lang (Gerolsteiner), Bram De Groot (Rabobank), Daniele Righi (Lampre-Fondital), Bram Tankink (Quick-Step), Stéphane Augé (Cofidis), Manuel Quinziato (Liquigas) and Björn Schröder (Milram).

The eight went clear at 20K but behind there was a lot of chasing by Crédit Agricole, Davitamon-Lotto and Bouygues Telecom. This forced worry in the escape, encouraging Dumoulin and Schröder to attack. The peloton eased off the pace and allowed the duo some freedom, gaining 7'00" by 54K, 8'00" by 58K and a max of 12'50" at 84K.

It was good cooperation on the part of the German/French duo; when Dumoulin had a bike problem Schröder immediately eased up to wait for his new friend. Certainly though, their new friendship could not hold off the thunder of the peloton. Quick-Step, Davitamon-Lotto and Crédit Agricole were turning up the speed behind, in an attempt to get a handle on the escape.

The drive went through the feed zone, brief but heavy rain showers fell on the final two categorized climbs. The gap was now only around 5'30" and the time advantage was not enough. In these early stages the sprinters are hungry for their wins and the attacks usually fail. By -10K the gap was less than two minutes.

A crash in the final two kilometers took out Isaac Gálvez (Caisse d'Epargne-Illes Balears) but all the other sprinters were present to contest the dash into Caen. Like yesterday, Gert Steegmans did a hard turn of speed to lead out his teammate, Robbie McEwen of Davitamon-Lotto. Before Robbie was able to take control, at 400 meters Oscar Freire (Rabobank) launched down the right side of the road. His turn of speed was enough to hold of the charge of World Champion Boonen, who finished second.

The likeable Spaniard scored his second career Tour de France win. Boonen, although winless in this Tour, did enough to keep his yellow kit. "Well, I have had three days with the yellow jersey, I am happy with myself and the team," said Boonen afterwards.
