Les Boucles du Sud Ardèche - Souvenir Francis Delpech_Vals-les-Bains - Ruoms
A very large breakaway today, Europcar kept it under control as fears of the break could succeed were quickly eradicated.
It went down to a sprint finish and it was Hivert’s win ahead of Arashiro.

[center]The group wasn’t to be caught and it was a win for Westra of Vacansoleil. Europcar a team renowned for taking part in breakaways decided against it today. With the team targeting stage wins here was that an incorrect decision. [/center]

Stage 2
Today’s stage presents a last clear cut opportunity to the few sprinters here to grab a win.
Today’s 3 man breakaway worked very well together and built up a very decent gap. Initially the break took a long time to form, after a number of attacks from a number of teams this was to be the break of the day, and it was certainly that!
A win for Garmin’s Sep Vanmacke, who attacked late on and caught and passed the break.
Peleton finish 18 seconds back.

Stage 3
Todays stage is mainly flat but the hill near the end may play out of the hands of the sprinters. The hill is short and steep enough for an explosive attack from an explosive rider.
Todays break features, Ladagnous (FDJ), Zingle (Cofidis), Gaudin (Europcar), Le Lay (AG2R), Vemeltfoort (Rabobank), Rollin (FDJ, Burghardt (BMC), De Backer (Skil Shimano), Kostyuk (Lampre) and Meyer (Garmin).
An the talk about hill before the finish, French National Champion Thomas Voeckler attacked and caught the break, where Gaudin was waiting for him to offer his services. This seems like a well thought out plan by Europcar.
Voeckler claims another win, in what has been a tremendous start to the season for him.
Peleton arrive at the line nearly a minute down on Voeckler, the Frenchman takes the yellow jersey going into tomorrow’s stage.

Please let me know if you find the stamp above the pictures annoying, I have downloaded an image converter so I can convert the images to JPEG as a group and not one by one like on the internet. If I have enough money or find some money from somewhere I will register the copy. Its roughly £15.

Stage 6
A real treat to the climbers/puncheurs taking part as this stage features a mixture of climbs.
The traditional morning break went away, after taking along to establish 5 riders managed to form a group.
Contador and Evans were the first of the pre race favourites to attack, but with work from Gautier of Europcar it all came back together.
On the final descent Voeckler shown his descending skills as he pulled away from the group.
Voeckler managed to stay away to claim the win and close the gap to Contador on GC.

A very successful Paris Nice for a home team. Europcar not only achieved their sponsor goals stage wins then won the Green Jersey with Voeckler, 2nd on GC with Vockler and Team classiment with Voeckler, Kern, Gautier and Chateau in the top 20.
The sponsors will be over the moon.
Sorry I was missing a screenshot of the solo break.
