Sylvain Chavanel (Cofidis) attacked after 13.5 kilometer mark and again after 19 kilometer,
taking Bonnet (Credit Agricole) and Gilbert (FD Jeux) with him. They were chased by Cheula (Barloworld); after 24 kilometer
the three led the Italian by 55” and the peloton by 1’45”. At the first sprint, the chase was 2’05”
behind and the peloton at 8’40”. The average speed at the first hour was 38.7km/h.
Chavanel claimed first place points at the first three climbs, with Gilbert second at each summit. Chavanel
became the virtual leader of general classification. CSC’s director Kim Anderson said at the start of the stage that
his team wouldn’t defend Cancellara’s yellow jersey. It meant that chasing responsibilities fell to other squads.
The maximum lead of the breakaway group was 14’45” at the 54km mark but then the Liquigas and Rabobank team’s
took charge of the chase. By the top of the third climb, the advantage of the escapees dropped to 11’10”. After
two hours of racing, the bunch was 9’25” behind. The average speed for the 2nd hour was 34.5km/h. The teams that
led the chase included: Astana, Milram, Discovery Channel and Gerolsteiner. Brett Lancaster (Milram) abandoned at the
80km mark. At the site of the 2nd intermediate sprint, the bunch was 6’05” behind.
After a lengthy pursuit
the break was reeled in during the final 10 kilometers. Several attempts were made towards the end, which meant quite a few
riders were dropped and others never made it up front again.
Chavanel remained out front until the top of the final climb but was then swallowed up by a peloton that was
controlled by Rabobank. Lefevre (Bouygues Telecom) was aggressive and an attack from him prompted Popovych (Discovery Channel)
to follow. On the descent the Ukranian was joined by Cancellara but the two missed a left turn and ran off the road... but
didn’t crash. That was when Lampre took charge of the peloton but they didn’t get the ultimate reward of the stage
victory, that honor went to Filippo Pozzato of the Liquigas squad who outsprinted an elite field to claim his second Tour
win. Zabel (Milram) finished fifth and moved into the lead of the points classification. Fabian Cancellara recovered
from his near miss and was 12th in the stage, at the same time as Pozzato and will wear the yellow jersey for stage six.
It was a pretty chaotic day for the favorites and Team CSC's Carlos Sastre was only one of many, who lost
touch with the peloton as a result of flats or crashes. Also riders like Alejandro Valverde (Caisse d'Epargne), Andreas Klöden
(Astana), Iban Mayo (Saunier Duval), Oscar Pereiro (Caisse d'Epargne) and Alexander Vinokourov (Astana) ended up chasing the
peloton during this stage. For Vinokourov the price was a one minute 19 second time loss, while the rest made it home with
the peloton.
Stage winner Filippo Pozzato (Liquigas) said: "Since the first stage I believed it was possible to win. With
my victory in Milan-San Remo in 2005, I started to believe that I was one of the best, so every day I try to get amongst the
action in the finale. It’s good to find myself in this position, but it’s with thanks to my colleagues at Liquigas
who put in an enormous amount of work at the end of the stage. I was afraid that Valverde would be able make a move at the
end because he is always fast. I also had to watch out for Bennati; his wheels touched mine in the rush to the line. Still,
I’m just 35” shy of Cancellara and I love to dream, so… well, I’ll try very hard to win another one
still."
Swiss CSC rider Fabian Cancellara (CSC) defended his yellow jersey today: "Tactically it went well for us,
because we'd agreed that we wouldn't pull all the weight in the peloton today, which we didn't. Several other teams stepped
up and did their fair share of the work and when the gap to the break was getting smaller we thought we'd better do our bit
as well," explained CSC Sports Director Kim Andersen.
Sylvian Chavanel (Cofidis) coloured the race as one of four riders in a long breakaway. Chavanel was rewarded
with the polk dot jersey:
He animated the stage early and spent most of the day in the lead of the stage but in the end Sylvain Chavanel
was reeled in by the peloton. He visited the podium twice in Autun: once to collect the polka-dot jersey and again to receive
the plaudits as the Most Aggressive Rider of the fifth stage. But the Frenchman still has one principle objective: to win
a stage.
"The polka-dot jersey is a compensation for my efforts. It was a difficult day especially when you have to spend the whole
time in the wind. Furthermore, when our advantage began to approach 15 minutes all the teams began to work and it was really
difficult for us to stay away. Together with Philippe Gilbert we found ourselves in a position for a good finish and I started
to believe it was possible to win the stage. But the final climb really slowed our progress.
"Today it’s true that
I once again did all that I could but tomorrow it’s time to spend a day taking it a little easy. My there’s always
a thought in the back of my mind; it’s just not possible to defend the jersey because it’s too much to ask in
the big mountains… and my priority has always been to win a stage."
Erik Zabel came in fifth, Zabel took over the green jersey from Tom Boonen and said: "It’s fantastic
to be back in the green jersey. The last time I won it was in 2001 and the last time I wore it was in 2002 so, for me, it’s
a long time ago but it fits well. Normally I would have come to this Tour to lead out the sprints for Alessandro Petacchi.
Unfortunately he’s not here so my role changed and maybe that’s the reason that I got to stand on the podium today.
Last Wednesday my team manager told me, ‘Okay, now you have to sprint.’ I had just two days to think about this
but I’m pleased to be able to get a reward.
"I know that I’m not the fastest anymore but I’m still there
and I have a lot of fun in the peloton so that the most important thing for me.
"I’m happy to wear the green jersey
for another day. I’ll think about it from day to day: Paris is so far away in my mind so I’m only thinking about
tomorrow. The usual rivals are (Robbie) McEwen, (Tom) Boonen, (Oscar) Freire… but now also Pozzato. All the guys are
there so I think this year it’s a little bit different because there’s no absolute favorite in the sprints: everybody
can beat everybody so the interest in the points classification remains high."
Mario Kummer, Sports Director of Astana said that Andreas Klöden has a capillary crack in his tailbone. Kummer
said: "It's not as dramatic as we thought, he will be able to continue the race." Kummer did not want to say if Alexander
Vinokourov would be able to start at tomorrows 6th stage.
