Popovych Polishes of Escape Companions

Stage List, Stage Profile, Photos

On the celebration of Bastille Day, Yaroslav Popovych (Discovery Channel) out gunned his three escape companions in Tour de France stage 12, attacking 3K to go to the finish in Carcassonne. After forming the escape at 98K from the start in Luchon, the Ukrainian rider bettered Ballan, Freire and Le Mevel. The main classification contenders finished together, 4'25" minutes back, thus Floyd Landis (Phonak) stays in the Maillot Jaune.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have entered the days of escapes; the GC has been sorted and the sprinters have had more then their share in the first week. Looking over the parcours in Luchon, before the start, the riders were set for a heavy day. Four climbs: Col des Ares (Cat. 2 at the 27K mark), Côte de Pujos (Cat. 4 at 47.5K), Côte de Paul de Pailhes (Cat. 4 at 126.0K) and the Côte de Pamiers (Cat. 4 at 136.0K).

It was the celebration of Bastille Day in France and the weather was hot, very hot. The riders wanted to cool off with their faces out in the breeze, so why not escape. Christophe Le Mevel (Crédit Agricole) lit affairs on fire by attacking at 6K; this formed a large group that was whittled down to a group of 15 on the Cat. 2 Ares. The riders: George Hincapie (Discovery Channel), Jens Voigt (Team CSC), Daniele Bennati (Lampre-Fondital), Oscar Pereiro (Caisse d'Epargne-Illes Balears), Michael Rasmussen (Rabobank), Giuseppe Guerini (T-Mobile), Stéphane Goubert (Ag2R Prévoyance), Damiano Cunego (Lampre-Fondital), Thor Hushovd (Crédit Agricole), Gorka Verdugo (Euskaltel-Euskadi), David Moncoutié (Cofidis), Sylvain Chavanel (Cofidis), Cristian Moreni (Cofidis), David Millar (Saunier Duval-Prodir)ù and Michael Albasini (Liquigas). By 43K they had 45", being led by Davitamon-Lotto.

We were sad to see that Paolo Savoldelli (Discovery Channel) abandoned when the race hit Aspet (42K). We hope to know more information soon on how Il Falco is feeling, for now we only know that he has 10 stitches and was in back pain after yesterday's post-race crash.

At 50K, the lead of the 15 was only 1'00" and was not moving upwards, prompting a group of riders to attack at the 70K mark. The group continued to disintegrate over the following 30, eventually ending at 88K.

A new move, one with staying-power formed at 98K; Oscar Freire (Rabobank), Alessandro Ballan (Lampre-Fondital), Popovych and Le Mevel attacked. They led by 30" at 102K, shooting up to 1'50" by 106K. Phonak was leading the peloton behind for Maillot Jaune Landis, letting the lead slid further, to 3'55" at 126K mark. ... This looked like it was going to work out. Maybe our friend Ballan!?

Milram led a half-hearted chase with -40K for Zabel. Their work did not quite make a difference and the race was going to be made up front. Freire and Ballan were the best sprinters in the bunch, with the Spaniard having the upper hand. If one of the other three wanted to win the race they could not afford to take the 3X World Champion to the line.

With direction from DS Sean Yates behind, Popovych threw down an attack at -8K. Le Mevel, winner of a 2005 Giro d'Italia stage, was quickly spat out the back. Freire and Ballan brought back the Ukrainian and then each of them followed with smaller attacks. It was another big attempt by Popovych at -3K that did the deed; setting him free to take the win in Carcassonne.

Ballan led Freire over the line for second at 24" back, while the peloton, with Landis keeping yellow, finished 4'25" back.
