France Again with Pierrick Fédrigo

Pierrick Fédrigo (Bouygues Telecom) came clear of his escape companion, Salvatore Commesso (Lampre-Fondital), in the final meters to win Tour de France stage 14. The Duo broke free from a larger escape group on the Col de la Sentinelle, riding the descent into Gap only seconds clear of a closing chasing group. In the final meters American Vande Velde (CSC) desperately tried to bride to the duo but could not manage, finishing third. Oscar Pereiro (Caisse d'Epargne-Illes Balears) will take the Maillot Jaune into the second rest day tomorrow, followed by l'Alpe d'Huez on Tuesday.

The good news is that there is a rest day tomorrow but the bad news was that the riders had to complete another transition stage under the hot sun. The stage was the real deal, with four climbs: Côte du Bois-de-Salles (Cat. 3 at 14.0K), Col de Peyruergue (Cat. 3 at 72.5K), Col de Perty (Cat. 2 at 97.0K), Col de la Sentinelle (Cat. 2 at 171.0K).

The stage was marked with escapes early on; when we were parked by a field of Lavender, only 1K into the day's affairs, a group of three had already gone free. The shuffling continued in this manner until Maillot Jaune Pereiro signaled to the peloton to stop chasing the men off the front.

At 71K, near the top of the Col de Peyruergue, a group of six formed that would ride to the final. The six, with about three minutes: Matthias Kessler (T-Mobile), Fédrigo, Commesso, Mario Aerts (Davitamon-Lotto), Egoi Martínez (Discovery Channel), David Cañada (Saunier Duval-Prodir) and Rik Verbrugghe (Cofidis). By the top of the Col de Perty the boys had a achieved a gap of 5'37".

Caisse d'Epargne was doing the majority of the pacemaking behind for Pereiro. The Spanish squadra only was concerned with helping Pereiro staying in yellow and eventually relied on other teams, with interest in the stage, to help pull.

A scary moment for the race, at 141K, Cañada and Verbrugghe lost control of their bikes on a right-hander (or Ralph). Kessler was caught up, and all three went over the barriers. It was a scene similar to Beloki's crash on the way to Gap a few years back; sticky roads and braking at the wrong moment.

Kessler was able to remount, joining the peloton as they passed. The other two were not so lucky and were taken to hospital: Cañada fractured his right collarbone and Verbrugghe has a suspected fracture of a bone in his leg.

Liquigas and Milram were leading the charge behind. Stefano Garzelli on his 33rd birthday wanted to give himself a nice gift and was hoping his green team could pull the trio back by Gap.

The escapees made their way to the final climb, the Col de la Sentinelle, topping out with 9.5K to Gap. Commesso, Aerts and Fédrigo led by 3'25" with 35K to go and at -25K they were still holding on to 3'15". They kept their harmony until, at -12K, Commesso launched a missile. The move dropped Belgian Aerts but Fédrigo had the energy to follow. Fédrigo gave a dig of his own, close to a kilometer from the summit, but could not lose Commesso. If the duo were able to stay clear to the line then the Frenchman would have his hands full with the double Tour stage winner.

With 2K to go the French/Italian duo led by 15". Commesso sensed the danger and at -900m gave a try for freedom. Fédrigo was able to follow and stayed put on Totò's wheel until the sprint. The Frenchman gave Bouygues Telecom their first Tour win by opening up at -150m, beating Commesso to the line, and the third stage win in the Tour by a Frenchman.

Behind, Christian Vande Velde (Team CSC) bolted free of the peloton. French commentators and many of the gathered press confused the likable American for teammate Schleck but we were not fooled. Vande Velde came oh so close to giving CSC a twofer.
