It's time for the first race on European soil; the Etoile the Besseges. With Team Ultimate.
The first stage is a totally flat criterium around Le Grau du Roi. Today's bookies favourites are Corioni and two guys from Santander; Ventoso and Del Nero.
Timofeev is the very first rider to attack. He's followed by 5 riders, but, they dont start working together rigth away. Instead, they're split up in 3 groupes: Echarri and Martins are up front, Higgerson is chasing all alone, and Butterfield, Stoltz and the initiator Timofeev are even further back.
Meanwhile, Pagoto got a puncture. Luckely for him though, the pack is happy to let this break go and he rejoins the peloton quite easily.
Up front, it takes 40km for the three groupes to join up. This migth be a too big waste of power in this stage, which is already seen as an easy sprint stage anyway.
In the pack, Nespresso, Vespa and Molteni are keeping the breaks lead under 5 minutes, before starting to speed up to get closer quite easily. At 17km the break is caugth. A mass sprint it is!
With 3km to go, it could go anyone way. There's 4 trains to be found, followed be the rest of the sprinters. From left to rigth: Richeze is leading out Hoffman, Baumann leads Thorsen, Tennant tries to get Swift up front and Di Nucci leads Nazon. So far, everybody has still got equal chances.
With 2km to go, that's changed though. Baumanns leadout turned out to be the best, by far. It seems Thorsen can't lose this stage now, since most (if not all) other sprinters are already on their own.
But what's this? Baumann fades completly and Thorsen just won't pass him. Is he giving away a certain stage win?
Up front now are still a lot of sprinter though, it could be anyone's day. On the front line are Priamo, Bewley, Biondo, Perez Arrieta, McCollum and Gavazzi.
And the photofinish clearly shows it's Sam Bewley who take the first stage on French soil for M&M Cycling! Priamo, who had a flat tire early in the stage, takes second and Biondo take the final podium spot.
That's not it though, because what happend completely unnoticed in the background? The complete Team Ultimate waited for Yannick Stoltz after he was dropped from the pack due to being tired for his efforts in the early break. Luckely for them, they hold contact with the pack. They're still in the race!
