Bouhanni wins feisty Dauphiné stage 1

Nacer Bouhanni lived up to his reputation as a pugilist, winning stage 1 of the Critérium du Dauphiné after bumping and battling Alexander Kristoff in the final kilometer of racing. The Cofidis Frenchman jumped on an early acceleration by Bora – Argon 18’s Sam Bennett and sprinted to victory. Bennett finished third, and Lotto – Soudal’s Jens Debusschere was third.

“It’s the sprint, you don’t give out presents,” said Bouhanni. “I wanted to keep the wheel of my lead-out man, Kristoff wanted the same thing! But I saw that we were using up a lot of energy. I preferred to hold off and tuck in behind Kristoff. Bennett launched the sprint, he went on the right-hand side. I made my effort and I passed him in the last 100 meters.”

Tinkoff’s Alberto Contador kept his overall lead as the general classification remained unchanged after the 186km ride from Cluses to Saint-Vulbas.

Two riders were on the attack in stage 1: Wanty – Groupe Gobert’s Frederik Backaert and Orica – GreenEdge’s Mitch Docker.

With the gap down to about 1:20, Docker gave up on the breakaway move ahead of the final 24 kilometers of racing. About 10 kilometers later, Backaert was caught.

Sky led the peloton into the final 1,500 meters to keep Chris Froome out of trouble after he was nearly taken out by a touch of wheels in the fast finale. Cofidis went to the front with one kilometer to go.

Katusha moved up to take over the lead-out. Kristoff and Bouhanni, both fighting for a wheel bumped and jostled. The Norwegian won that battle, but it didn’t matter. Bouhanni launched a brilliant acceleration to find Bennett’s wheel and then blasted to the line in the final 100 meters.

It was the 25-year-old’s eighth victory of the season, which he dedicated to boxer Muhammad Ali, who died on Friday following a long battle with Parkinson’s disease. Bouhanni boxed as a child and claimed another American former heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson, was his idol.

Tuesday’s stage 2 from Crêches-sur-Saône to Chalmazal-Jeansagnière affords a category 3 finishing climb after 168km of racing, which give GC riders a chance to test their legs.
