Robbie McEwen (Davitamon-Lotto) did it again: Smashing the sprint rivals in a power dash into Vitré in stage 6 of the 2006 Tour de France. After a day of escapes, the last being caught with four to go, Lampre-Fondital and Quick-Step took over for Bennati and Boonen. The work proved fruitless when Davitamon-Lotto swooped in the final 700 meters to deliver McJet. It was a sprint win in the Maillot Vert for McEwen, while Boonen finished in third to conserve his Maillot Jaune. Tomorrow the GC will be thunder struck with the first individual time trial of the Tour de France.

Rain greeted the riders for the start of stage 6 of the 93rd Tour de France. Intermittent showers continued all day but luckily there was a fairly dry sprint, followed by rain moments later.

Once again, the early day was controlled by Bouygues Telecom for Jérôme Pineau. Bouygues is doing a hell of a job to keep their riders in the Maillot Blanc à Pois Rouges in these early stages. There has usually been an early categorized climb in the first 20K of the stage and the French squadra takes advantage of these early points on offer. It was smart and aggressive racing.

The escapes started to form on the roads of the Orne département. At one moment there was a power-escape with the race leader himself, Tom Boonen. The World Champion had joined an escape group with such riders as Hushovd, Merckx, Flecha, Backstedt, Geslin and Brard. But with Boonen's race lead threatening to grow over other riders close on the GC, the escape was quickly brought under control.

Backstedt smartly saw the escape being reeled back and he attacked at 70K. Moments later the Liquigas Swede was joined by Anthony Geslin (Bouygues Telecom) and French Champion, Florent Brard (Caisse d'Epargne-Illes Balears). At the 84.5K mark they had a lead of 2'35"; 3'50" at 90K; and the maximum gain of the three escapees was 5'15" at 104K mark. Quick-step put their riders on the front to control the tempo and they were joined by Rabobank, near 110K, to put the nails in the coffin.

At 20K to the line the gap was exactly one minute, the trio, who worked all day in the wet western French countryside, were flipping off the power on their motors and ready to rejoin the peloton. It was a huge day for French Champion Brard in front of his countrymen, important escape for Backstedt and nice day for the Bronze medalist at the Worlds, Geslin.

The finale into Vitré was tricky and technical with many dodgy turns and traffic furniture. The streets did not stop Lampre-Fondital from powering their Italian train down the strada. Commesso and Ballan poured their blood over the road for Benna but the work was left unrewarded; when Ballan pulled off, finishing his lead out, Benna faded fast. Surely we will see our Italian sprinter roar.

Quick-Step mixed in the sprint for Boonen but the yellow of the Belgian's jersey seems to be slowing him down; the best he could manage was third place behind Ballan. But don't forget that everyday in yellow is an important honor for any rider, including World Champion Boonen.

It really did not look like McEwen was going to get his third victory today; floating around 20th position in the final -3 to -2K it looked like he left it too late. Around -900m the engine of Gert Steegmans kicked-in and the Belgian boy wonder powered to the front with his Aussie mate in tow. McEwen blasted clear and left his competition meters back.
