Todays second stage of the Criterium du Dauphiné Libéré started in Bourg-Saint-Andéol and finsihed after 184 kilometres
in Vienne. The first 150 kilometres were pancake flat but the riders had to climb two hills in the final 54 kilometres withe
the final 15 kilometres mainly descending.
After a little bit more than 1 kilometre Stéphan Augé (Cofidis), Saunier Duval's David de la Fuente and Benat Albizuri
(Euskatel - Euskadi) broke away. Hushovd's Credit Agricole team immeadiately came to the front of the bunch to control the
break.
After 25 kilometres the escapees had a lead of 4:35, after that their lead slowly got smaller and smaller. After 120
kilometres the escapees had a lead of 3:40 and at the footh of the côte de Lupé Albizuri crashed in a curve. The Euskatel
rider managed to come back to his fellow escapees but soon he was dropped. De la Fuente crossed the top first but
as High Road started to assist Creit Agricole with the chase, it became clear that the break would not come through.
With 11 kilometres to go Augé and De la Fuente were caught but the sprinter teams were not able to keep the group
together. Again and again Creit Agricole and High Road had to respond to attacks. Still it looked like a big group would sprint
for stage victory, but in the final kilometre Gerolsteiner's Sebastian Lang took off. George Hincapie (High Road) saw the
danger and joined the German rider and then sprinted to win the second stage. Sébastien Chavanel (Francaise des Jeux) came
in second and Sebastian Lang finished third.
Overall leader Thor Hushovd came in fifth, which was enough to defend his yellow jersey. Hushovd also leads the points
classification. Milram's Christian Kux lost his lead in the mountain classification to David de la Fuente.
The race will continue tomorrow with the third stage,a 31 kilometres long individual time trial in and around Saint-Paul-En
Jarez. The battle for overall will start at this rollin' course, but it will not decide the French stage race with several
hard mountain stages to come later this week. It will be a first test which will show where the race favourites will stand. After
12,2 kilometres the riders will reach the top of the côte de Chavanol (3rd category) and 19 kilometres they will pass the
top of the côte de Doizieux (4th category). Click here to view the map and profile of stage 3.
