Stage 1 Results
Friday, June 20: Stage 1, Lectoure - Campan Payolle, 171.7 km
The Race: After placing third in today's hilly stage, FDJ sprinter Nacer Bouhanni asked, "Alors, je ne sais pas grimper? [So, I do not know how to climb?]"
While it was no surpise that Spanish rider Jesus Herrada was able to escape on the Aspin (the day's final climb) to win the stage, to see sprinter Nacer Bouhanni finish right with Alejandro Valverde and Nicolas Roche six seconds later gives one a real appreciaton of the depth of Bouhanni's talent.
With the time bonuses figured in, Herrada leads Valverde by ten seconds in the overall.
