17.07.2007/Colombian Mauricio Soler (Team Barloworld) took stage 9 of the Tour de France on Tuesday
at the summit finish on Briançon. Alexander Vinokourov again lost time against his main GC opponents.

Soler broke away from a group of five riders 46 km from the finish to record the fourth (and most important)
professional victory of his career.
"It was an incredible win, something I never expected to achieve. But with some great
team work it all worked out fine", Mauricio Soler, 24, told reporters. The Barloworld rider was awarded by the new President
of French Republic, Nicolas Sarkozy, who followed the race on the Tour de France director's vehicle.
The beginning of today's
stage, with the horse-categorie climb of Col d'Iseran, was characterized by plenty of attacks and a very fast pace from the
peloton, reduced to 70 riders with still many km to go on the climb. Only Yaroslav Popovich was able to create some gap between
himself and the pack. Approaching the top, Mauricio Soler tried his first attack of the day, together with Bouygues Telecom
Laurent Lefevre, and caught Popovich at the very beginning of the descent. As soon as they were caught back, another big change
in the race situation happened, as six riders escaped on the way down: Popovich (again) and Gusev (Discovery Channel), Vaugrenard
(FDJ), Astarloza (Euskaltel), Gutierrez (Caisse d'Epargne) and Clemens (Bouygues Telecom). The leading drappel was able to
start the Col de Telegraphe with still 3 minutes on the pack, but they started to lose as Vaugrenard dropped and Rabobank
started to make a strong push to close up on the breakaway. With 64 km to go, Mauricio Soler moves again with a solo attack.
In 17 km he managed to rejoin the breakaway from 2.30 minutes behind, and another impressive acceleration left no one in his
wake. The 24-year-old Colombian climber reached the top of the Galiber with a 2.20 gap on Contador and 3.20 on yellow jersey
Rasmussen and Valverde. From there on, it was like a time trial for Soler, who still had the strength to hold on even with
all the team leaders chasing hard, ad could finally raise his arms for the most important win in his career (and the first
ever for Team Barloworld at the Tour de France), with just 38 seconds left on Valverde, Evans, Contador and Rasmussen.
With
this win, Soler gained positions in the overall standing (now he is in 17th position), in the climbers' classification (2nd)
and in the white-jersey contest (3rd).
Michael Rasmussen kept the yellow jersey with 2'35" over Alejandro Valverde; Alexander
Vinokourov (Astana) was eliminated from overall to finish over three minutes back. Rasmussen is also the climber classification's
leader, but tomorrow it will be Mauricio Soler to wear the polka-dot jersey, being second in this special standing.
Winner Mauricio Soler said: "It’s an incredible day. I’m living out a dream. I worked very hard
to arrive at the finish on my own and I received the superb prize for that effort. I wanted to achieve something for myself
in my Tour debut and at 24 years of age, I’ve been able to stamp my name on a stage. Nobody believed I could win here,
not even me.
"It’s true that today I was strong, I proved that by attacking on the Iseran climb, then the Col du
Telegraphe and again on the Galibier where I was finally able to break free.
"I thought that the finish of the stage was
all downhill so I panicked a little when I saw the climb in the final kilometers. I arrived at the foot of the final ascent
and was in a state of shock. I felt like I had nothing left in my legs but I managed to make it to the finish. Now, the challenge
is to stay with the best riders because my ambition is to wear the yellow jersey, even if I’m realistic enough to know
that will be very difficult."
Alberto Contador said after the race: "It was a very tough stage and I’m pleased with what I’ve
been able to achieve but I really thought, for a while, that it would have been possible to stay ahead of Rasmussen and Valverde
so it’s a little bit frustrating that we were caught in the run-in to Briancon but it’s hard for two men to stay
ahead of a group of 15.
"I knew it would be hard to stay away for 40km but we made it to the final climb. [Yaroslav] Popovych
did an exceptional job but we just couldn’t make it. Let’s hope that we do better another day. But the most important
thing is to be strong and put on a good show.
"The circumstances haven’t been great. We attacked with a long way
to go and it was always going to be a monster job to stay ahead. But we made the best of the situation. Today it didn’t
come off but another day I’m confident that it will."
Michael Rasmussen defended his yellow jersey. Rasmussen said: "My team did a really good job controlling
the pace until halfway up the Galibier. After that I got a little isolated when the attacks really started going but I have
to expect that. Essentially only the top contenders are left and you can’t expect to have it all your own way and with
a full team. I got attacked left, right and center… it felt like a million times but I just tried to follow them and
eventually Evans got away. I chose to follow Valverde because he had a team-mate up the road and we could join forces and
work together to reel in the riders who were ahead.
"I attacked a few times as well. The team wants to protect the overall
lead. Now it’s all about the yellow, obviously the polka-dot jersey is secondary. I’m in the lead by almost three
minutes now. The next big test will be the time trial on Saturday and I believe I’ll manage to protect the jersey for
the next four days.
"The time trial is not a concern even if it’s not my specialty. I haven’t worked on it
specifically but we have done some testing with the Rabobank team – visiting the wind tunnel and adjusted my position
to try and refine some aspects of that discipline – and hopefully the result will reflect that I’m a little stronger
against the clock than I was two years ago."
Alexander Vinokourov said: "The rise to the Télégraphe top was already
very difficult. Then in the Galibier I had pains everywhere. The team worked perfect for me. I gave and did all I could, but
my knees were hurting me so much. It was once again a misery’s day for me…"
Astana Sports Director Mario Kummer said: "For the team, the most
important was not to loose contact with the “yellow jersey” group. When we saw that Vino was asking for the race’s
doctor in the Galibier and that he couldn’t follow, Andreas Klöden stayed alone with the first group. He rode very well :
the great class ! Inglinskiy and Kashechkin also made a great job to help Vino. The Tour isn’t over yet. We’ll
have to see in the next time-trial. According to me, for Vino, the most important is his health."
