Columbia splits the bunch, Cavendish wins his second stage
07 July 2009
The first 125 of todays relatively flat 196 kilometres between Marseille and La Grande-Motte was with Team Saxo Bank as the spearhead of the peloton from which four riders early on today's third stage had escaped. The quartet in the front, consisting of Ruben Moreno (Euskatel), Samuel Dumoulin (Cofidis), Maxime Bouet (Agritubel) and Koen de Kort (Skil-Shimano) was in a long leash, as Team Saxo Bank with 70 kilometres from the finish line took a well-deserved break from doing all the work and left the responsibility to the sprinter teams but they had a hard time getting organized.
With 45 kilometres to go the breakaway had a 4.30 minutes lead to the field where Mark Cavendish' Team Columbia High Road as expected lined up in the front to make the stage ready for yet another key role on the finish line.
They did so well that the head of the field of thirty riders shook themselves free in the side wind, so several of the favorites, among others, Team Saxo Bank Andy Schleck, Denis Menchov (Rabobank) and Alberto Contador (Astana) was caught in the peloton whereas Team Saxo Bank's Fabian Cancellara was in the front with among others Lance Armstrong (Astana).

In the peloton, Astana took responsibility while Team Saxo Bank, Rabobank, Liquigas and Lotto formed an alliance to neutralize the gap.
The thirty riders in the front were riding well together and increased the gap all the way to the finish line where Mark Cavendish made absolutely no mistake and sprinted to victory in front of Thor Hushovd (Caisse d'Epargne) forty seconds ahead of the main field.
Team Saxo Bank rider and man in the yellow jersey, Fabian Cancellara, increased the gap in the overall standings. Here Team Columbia rider Tony Martin is now second 33 seconds behind the Swiss. Lance Armstrong (Astana) is third overall forty seconds behind the Team Saxo Bank rider.
"Too bad for Andy, he was trapped in side the wind along with many other riders, but that's sport, that is the Tour de France, but luckily we still have the yellow jersey. I was in the right place at the right time”, said a confident Fabian Cancellara after the dramatic finale.
"Team Columbia were riding very fast during the one kilometer where side winds made the peloton explode and we were not paying proper attention. It is obviously not good enough, but there is still a long way to Paris and the course has only just begun", said team owner Bjarne Riis after the stage.
Tomorrow Team Saxo Bank will be defending the leader's jersey on the exciting 39 kilometer long team time trial in and around Montpellier.
