Overraskelse slog Daniel Navarro i Frankrig

Den afsluttende etape af dette års Tour Méditerranéen var forkortet grundet sne på toppen af Mont-Faron. I stedet sluttede etapen, der kun var 77 kilometer lang, på Col du Corps de Garde. Før dagens etape var det Michel Kreder fra Garmin-Barracuda, der var i førertrøjen efter at have vundet de seneste to etaper.

 

Team Saxo Bank var tæt på den helt store triumf, men holdets spanske rytter Daniel Navarro måtte nøjes med en andenplads på etapen, hvilket dog også er et godt resultat for rytteren, der må indstille sig på en sæson, i hvert fald frem til august, hvor han må klare sig uden sin trofaste kaptajn og ven, Alberto Contador. Nummer tre på etapen blev Stefano Garzelli (Acqua & Sapone), der tidligere i år blev rygtet til Team Saxo Bank.

 

Jonathan Tiernan-Locke (Endura Racing) overraskede ved at vinde første etape af det franske etapeløb, men briten viste i dag, at det ikke blot var held, at han vandt en etapesejr. Han vandt nemlig også dagens etape, hvilket også sikrede ham den samlede sejr i årets Tour Méditerranéen.

Danske Nicki Sørensen leverede også en rigtig flot præstation, da han blev nummer fem på etapen. Daniel Navarro sluttede på løbets tredjeplads.
