Stage Report

Spain scored yet another success in this years Tour when Juan Miguel Mercado, the young rider from the French wildcard entry team Agritubel won into Pau. The Spaniard won at the end of the 10th stage at the end of the 190.5 km stage beating breakaway companion Cyril Dessel (AG2R). Frenchman Dessel had the consolation of riding himself into both the overall leaders yellow jersey and the king of the mountains leaders jersey.

3rd on the stage was yet another Spanish rider, Inigo Landaluze (Euskaltel Euskadi) with the bunch finishing over 7 minutes behind sprinting for 8th place and being led in by Italian Daniele Bennati (Lampre Fondital).

After the stage Bennati commented, " That was a kind of sprint that I don't like: not linear, with battles for the positions. I tried to do my best, but I saw that I won't be able to win."

With the race now moving into the mountains, Lampre leader Damiano Cunego said, "I'm curious to discover the Pirenaic climbs, that I will cover without the obsession of the victory".

How the stage unfolded;

160 riders made the start today in Cambo-les-Bains with only 1 non-starter, French ex-world champion Laurent Brochard (Bouygues Telecom). The remaining riders rolled out under sunny skies for the 190. km stage bringing the race into the first real mountains of this years event.

Immediately after the neutralized section the breaks started. T-Mobile kept things under control though and by the time the race reached the first bonus sprint of the day the bunch was still together and Da Cruz (FDJ) took the points on offer. Soon after Quinziato (Liquigas) and Vasseur (Quick Step) managed to get away and open a small gap. Before long though another 13 riders had bridged the gap making a 15 rider strong group at the head of the race. The riders out front leading in this group were Quinziato, Vasseur, Da Cruz (FDJ), Voigt (CSC), Steegmans (Davitamon Lotto), Moreni (Cofidis), Hushovd (Crédit Agricole), Landaluze, Isasi (Euskaltel), Posthuma (Rabobank), Bennati (Lampre Fondital), Dessel (AG2R), Rinero (Saunier Duval), Sprick (Bouygues Telecom) and Mercado (Agritubel).

The lead group hit the bottom of the first climb of the day with a 48" lead over the peloton which at this stage were still being controlled by the German team of T-Mobile.

By the top though the gap had opened to 1'30". Suddenly on the other side of the races first climb of the day T-Mobile peeled off the front deciding not to continue chasing and controlling the race while the break continued extending it's lead, now being 2 minutes ahead.

With no team willing to take control and start the chase, by the time the break had reached the 2nd bonus sprint of the day were Bennati took maximum points their lead had opened to 6'30".

The break continued to work well together but by the time they had reached 6 km to the summit of the Col de Soudet with 93km to go there were only 2 riders ahead, Mercado and Dessel. All the other riders had been dropped on the climb, and now AG2R's Dessel was riding towards the leaders jersey. He started the stage in 28th place, only 3'50" behind and was now still 9 minutes clear on the road!

The race continued, again with T-Mobile at the front of the main peloton controlling even though their race leader Gonchar was having trouble at the rear of the main bunch.

Coming through Escot at the base of the Cat. 1 Col de Marie-Blanque and after 148km of racing their were now 7 riders ahead. The break at this stage had 11 minutes advantage.

On the slopes of the climb Mercado attacked. Only Dessel could stay with him with the other 5 dropping off. Dessel took maximum points at the summit of the climb ensuring he would start tomorrow's stage in at least one leaders jersey. 3rd over the top was Landaluze who trailed by 27".

It stayed this was all the way to the finish where the leading two riders on the stage who had been at the head of the race for 160 kms fought it out for the stage win with Mercado taking the win into Pau.
