14.07.2007/In a stunning solo performance, T-Mobile's Linus Gerdemann won Saturday's Tour's first mountain
stage from Bourg-en-Bresse to Le-Grand-Bornand and grabbed the yellow jersey. Inigo Landaluze (Euskaltel-Euskadi) came in
second followed by his fellow Spanish countryman David De La Fuente (Saunier Duval-Prodir).
The group containing most of the overall favorites finished 3’38” behind the 24-year-old
T-Mobile sensation. Alexander Vinokourov and Andreas Klöden were in that group as well. Gerdemann leads the general classification
by one minute 24 seconds.

The 198.5km long seventh stage went from Bourg-en-Bresse to Le Grand-Bornand. The riders had to conquer four
climbs, including the first category-one ‘col’ of the 94th edition of the Tour de France. The mountains classification
points were contested at the Cote de Corlier (cat-3 at 35.5km), Cote de Cruseilles (cat-3 at 122.5km), Cote de Peguin (cat-4
at 134.0km) and the 1,618m high cat-1 Col de la Colombiere (at 183.0km).
The sprinters had two intermediate sprints to
add to their total for the points classification. Points for the green jersey were on offer in Pont-d’Ain (at 16.5km)
and Anglefort (86.0km).
Quickstep controlled the bunch until the first sprint where Tom Boonen (Quickstep)
outsprinted Erik Zabel (Milram) and Daniele Bennati (Lampre - Fondital). After 22 kilometers 16 riders
attacked including: Voeckler, Hincapie, Goubert, Vaugrenard, Gilbert, Garate and Cardenas. But the bunch did not let this
first breakaway group go: They were caught after 25 kilometers. On the first climb Michael Rasmussen (Rabobank) raced
into the lead, passing Wegelius, Verdugo and Paulinho who had attacked after 30 kilometers. The only Dane in the race
claimed first-place at the top of the Corlier climb. Cancellara, Boonen, McEwen were amongst the riders who were dropped early.
The average speed for the first hour was 40.9km/h. Gutierrez (Caisse d'Epargne), Gerdemann (T-Mobile), Flecha (Rabobank),
Landaluze and Perez (Euskatel), Fofonos (Credit Agricole), Martinez (Discovery Channel), Lefevre (Bouygues Telecom), Vaugrenard
(FD Jeux), Tankink (Quickstep), Savoldelli (Astana) and De la Fuente (Saunier Duval) formed the first real breakaway group.
After 72 kilometers they were joined by Elmiger (AG2R), Pineau (Bouygues Telecom) and Wegmann (Gerolsteiner).
Vaugrenard
was the best-placed rider in the General Classification at the start of the stage. Gerdemann raced ahead to claim first at
the 2nd intermediate sprint. The bunch was 8’30” behind. This was the maximum lead of the breakaway
group. The average speed for the 2nd hour was 47.5km/h.
After 80 kilometers Predictor-Lotto and CSC came
to the front of the peloton. "Neither team has anyone in the escape," said Predictor Lotto's Hendrik Redant. "The
idea is to try and get the escape to within about four or five minutes before the start of the Col de la Colombiere.”
At the feedzone, the peloton was 6’00” behind. De la Fuente surged ahead to claim first place at the 2nd climb.
The peloton was led over the summit by O’Grady, Cancellara and Hoste were 6’45” behind the escapees. The
average speed of the 3rd hour was 37.9km/h. CSC drove the peloton on the descent and up the 3rd climb. De la Fuente repeated
his antics and led over the cote de Peguin, 6’40” ahead of the bunch.
On the approach to the final ascent three riders from the Lampre - Fondital team came to the front of
the bunch which was 5’25” behind the escapees. The entire CSC team then led the chase of the bunch.
Gutierrez attacked with 14km to climb. De la Fuente, then Gerdemann caught the national Spanish time trial champion.
Fofonov joined them 1km later and then attacked. Only Gerdemann could follow the Kazakh Credit Agricole rider. At Le
Reposoir, the steepest section 7km from the summit, the 24-yeard-old German launched the decisive attack. He would not be
seen by any riders again until after they reached the finish. Over the summit, Gerdemann had a lead of 30” on Inigo
Landaluze and 1’00” ahead of De La Fuente. The young T-Mobile rider proved he could climb and, with the whiff
of victory, demonstrated his prowess on the descent as well.
Gerdemann not only took the stage but grabbed the
yellow jersey, the white jersey and the most aggressive rider prize. Gerdemann said: "It’s unbelievable to do what I
did. These are the moments that I train for every day but I never thought that something like this would happen to me. I want
to say thanks to everyone who was on the climbs and supporting me, it was a great sensation.
"I was fighting hard the
whole time but I wanted to be sure that I was okay even if I had a puncture or something like that.
"It was important
to achieve this for the team. I was given the opportunity to start all the races that I wanted to do and I have to say thanks
to T-Mobile for having such faith in me.
"Thanks also to the fans who tuned in on television. Cycling has had a big problem
lately but I want to say thanks to those who believe in the sport. We have to find a new, clean way to prove how beautiful
cycling is and I hope others agree that this is a good way to start things afresh.
"It’ll be difficult to defend
the lead. Michael Rogers is the team leader and I will try to support him. Today was my day and I hope the next weeks are
good for Michael."
The Australian T-Mobile captain came in 35th but with the same time as most of the title contenders,
3’38” behind the new sensation of cycling. Gerdemann's Sports Director at T-Mobile, Rolf Aldag said:
"We didn’t expect that he would be able to go so long on his own but he lived up to his promise and did everything
that he was told today. It was a similar scenario to the day I was in an escape to Morzine in 2003: it was Saturday, the start
of the second week – the riders were super motivated – and all the big guns were always going to start firing.
"We asked Linus to get in the move and take it really, really easy in the escape. We didn’t want him leading or
showing how strong he was; we wanted him to stay calm, remain at the back and then we had a plan for the last climb.
"I
said before the stage, ‘You can get 10 or 12 minutes and then the peloton will chase and bring it back to four or five
minutes then they’d climb steadily but someone one from the break is going to make history and that can be you!’
It was amazing to watch it unfold like a script. There was a bit of luck but it was also what we planned and it’s the
perfect outcome.
"He feels like he can’t even step on the bike tomorrow but nobody can take anything away from him.
It must be a super feeling to have the jersey and start the big alpine stage in yellow, nobody cares how he finishes tomorrow."
