Tour de l'Avenir 2012 - Stage 1
SportingNonsense
i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir1-1.jpg

The Tour de l'Avenir opens with a flat stage. Favourites are Brits i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/wiggle.png Luke Rowe and i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/rapha.png Adam Blythe, plus Aussies i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/milka.png Leigh Howard and i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/festina.png Michael Matthews. Irishman i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/bo.png Sam Bennett aswell. Flat stages are going to be very anglo-friendly!

A couple of early breakaway attempts failed, before a 10 man group finally got clear.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir1-2.jpg

i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/armavia.png Jurka Arabuli beat McLay and Jungels at the first intermediate sprint - giving the Armavia rider the virtual lead of the race!

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir1-3.jpg

Soon after we have the only King of the Mountains prime of the day - the winner gets the jersey. Quaade, Fukata, Jungels, Andersen and Arabuli all go for it.

And i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/Meiji.png Hiroyuki Fukata takes it.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir1-4.jpg

With 20km to go, the i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/milka.png Milka led peloton are closing in. But i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/focus.png Jungels leads attacks as the break splits up.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir1-5.jpg

The 2nd sprint is just 2km away, and i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/GB.png Dan McLay uses it to catch Jungels and win the sprint - ahead of Fukata and Arabuli

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir1-6.jpg

They keep trying to stay away, but Milka are having none of it. The sprint is on.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir1-7.jpg

But this is a race for the inexperienced and many of those aiming at the sprint have not really had the opportunity to compete in many mass sprints before.

The guilty rider here is i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/festina.png Michael Matthews, who smashes into the ground, bringing others with him.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir1-8.jpg

A road block is caused. Including Matthews, 24 riders actually crash - but others, including i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/wikipedia.png Andrew Talansky, are held up and likely to lose time now aswell.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir1-9.jpg

The full list of those who crashed is:

Its particularly bad news for Bruno Borges - and the Control Team team leader Julian Kern. Their race is over - nightmare for Kern in his one race to impress after being snubbed by the various German CT teams this season.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir1-10.jpg

Time to focus on the sprint though. i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/milka.png Hosek has strung things out, and we're almost ready to go.

Reinhardt launches the sprint, and Howard tries to catch out his rivals by launching on the final turn - but theres still a long way to the finish line.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir1-12.jpg

Also forced to go early is Zabel - he had the wheel of McLay who is clear tired from his breakaway efforts, and couldnt keep up with Schoch in front of him.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir1-13.jpg

Up front, only Blythe and Rowe have been able to live with Howard's pace, but the Aussie has gone too early, the stage win is heading to Britain

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir1-14.jpg

Blythe vs Rowe. Rowe has the speed, but Blythe has the headstart.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir1-15.jpg

It's going to be tight!

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir1-16.jpg

Luke Rowe takes the victory ... just!

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir1-17.jpg

Blythe is 2nd, with Howard forced to settle for 3rd.

Then we have Bennett, Yamamoto, Stallaert, Schoch, Coutinho, Zabel and Reinhardt completing the Top 10.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir1-18.jpg

Talansky's group loses 4 minutes, to confirm that Wikipedia's GC hopes are all on Pinot, while those who actually crashed (except Matthews) lose 5 minutes.
