13.06.2008/ Youri Trofimov (Bouygues Telecom) won the fifth stage of the Criterium du Dauphiné Libéré. The Russian neo-pro of the French Pro-Tour team attacked out of a breakaway group on the Col de Joux-Plane and cossed the line after a thrilling solo. Cadel Evans (Silence-Lotto) came in second, overall leader Alejandro Valverde (Caisse d'Epargne) finished third. Valverde defended his overall lead. Astana's Levi Leipheimer lost over a minute on Evans and Valverde.

Trofimov (Bouygues Telecom) was part of an early breakaway group and like Cyril dessel did yesterday, the 24 year old Russion talent waited for the right moment to start a counter attack after Saunier Duval's Juan José Cobo attacked earlier in the race. On the legendary Col de Joux-Plane Trofimov started his solo ride, caught Cobo and jumped over him. Trofimov, a former mountainbiker, managed to stay away although the fight for the overall win started behind him.

Levi Leipheimer (Astana) was the most prominent victim as Rabobank's young gun Robert Gesink accelerated. After Gesink's work, Cadel Evans (Silence – Lotto) came to the front and increased the speed of the group with the overall favourites. Leipheimer didn't came back to the group and lost over a minute on Valverde and Evans.

Evans told sporza.be: "This Dauphiné has a high quality." Evans continued: "Every day is very intense, with a lot of attacks. That is very promising for the Tour. I am getting stronger and stronger every day." About his work at the front of the group Evans said: "As I saw that Leipheimer was dropped I accelerated. With success. On top of that I beat Valverde in the sprint although I think he didn't really push." Evans doesn't think about the overall: "Winning the overall? Well I don't think about that. This is and will stay a race to prepare."

Youri Trofimov was very happy after he won today's stage. Trofimov said: "My experience as a mountainbiker helped me during the descending part. Before the stage I didn't dare to dream that I would get away on the Joux-Plane. I am very happy with what I have acieved."

 
The race will continue tomorrow with the 233 kilometres long sixth stage. After the riders passed two smaller climbs they will face the Col de la Croix de Fer (HC categroy). The uphill finish will be on the first category climb La Toussuire.  Click here to view the map and profile of stage 6.
