LACHANCE FONCE ET L’EMPORTE

Montréal, le mardi 26 juin 2012 – Jean-Michel Lachance a usé de la bonne stratégie afin de remporter sous la pluie la quatrième étape de la saison 2012 des Mardis cyclistes Jean Coutu de Lachine.

Le coureur membre de la formation américaine Rossetti Devo Cycling Team a profité de la prudence de ses adversaires pour partir en trombe au tout dernier virage de l’épreuve. Ses opposants ont été surpris par son décollage et n’ont jamais pu le rejoindre.

Les victimes de Jean-Michel Lachance furent le maillot jaune Jean-Samuel Deshaies (Ekoï-Gaspésien) et le professionnel Martin Gilbert (SpiderTech). Ceux-ci sont grimpés sur le podium, tandis que Jean-François Laroche (Fantino-Régis) et Rémi Pelletier-Roy (Garneau-Québecor) ont complété le top-5.

«Plusieurs échappées ont été tentées durant la course, mais les équipes présentes voulaient une arrivée de peloton. J’ai décidé de lancer mon sprint le plus tôt possible, soit directement à la sortie du dernier virage. La stratégie a fonctionné et les autres ont été surpris», a lancé le vainqueur d’étape, un quatrième différent en autant de courses cette saison.

Pour l’athlète de 21 ans de la région de Québec, il s’agit d’une première victoire en carrière aux Mardis cyclistes dans la classe Pro-Élite. Son gain précédant remonte à l’époque où il courait chez les espoirs (15-16 ans). Lachance était également heureux de cette victoire car il n’a pas pu se faire valoir (chute) lors du critérium des championnats canadiens, présenté dimanche à Lac-Mégantic.

Notons que cette victoire lui permet de faire un bond vertigineux de 25 places au classement général des Mardis, soit du 37e au 12e rang.

L’épreuve fut également profitable pour Jean-Samuel Deshaies, qui accroit son avance de 75 points au sommet du cumulatif. «C’est dommage de ne pas avoir gagné, a admis le porteur du maillot jaune. Cependant, on a remporté plusieurs sprints intermédiaires et l’équipe a de nouveau accompli une solide besogne afin de prendre de précieux points sur nos poursuivants.»

Martin Gilbert, un habitué de la plus haute marche du podium des Mardis, devra prendre son mal en patience, malgré une intéressante troisième place.

«Pour le sprint final, la bonne stratégie aurait été d’aborder le dernier virage en première position. C’est le genre d’erreur qui coûte cher», a-t-il concédé.

Le grand perdant de la soirée est certainement Maxime Vivès (Garneau-Québecor), qui n’a amassé que 25 points et qui est du même coup passé du deuxième au quatrième rang du cumulatif.

Au total, 58 coureurs ont pris le départ de l’épreuve qui s’est jouée à une vitesse moyenne de 47 km/h.

Finalement, Vincent Waddell (Espoirs Laval) a remporté la course des jeunes, Véronique Drapeau-Zgoralski (Specialized-Mazda) a fait de même chez les femmes, tandis que Thierry Kirouac (André Cycle) et Charlotte Tousignant (Espoirs Laval) l’ont emporté chez les minimes.

Lachance wins 4th Stage of Les Mardis Cyclistes de Lachine presented by Jean Coutu

June 26, 2012 (Lachine, QC) – It was Jean-Michel Lachance (Rossetti Devo Cycling Team) who used his head as much as his legs to win the fourth stage of the weekly Mardis Cyclistes presented by Jean Coutu here in the Montreal suburb of Lachine. Lachance’s victory among the senior men was all that more impressive because he had no team mates to support him among the 58 cyclists on the start line.

In rainy conditions, Lachance took advantage of the cautiousness of his adversaries and took off like an express train on the very last turn of the 50km circuit. His rivals were caught dumbfounded by the manoeuvre and were unable to catch up.

With this move, Lachance stole the victory away from series leader Jean-Samuel Deshaies (Ekoi-Gaspesien) and from pro rider Martin Gilbert (SpiderTech p/b C10) who completed the podium in second and third ranks respectively. Following closely in fourth was Jean-François Laroche (Fantino-Regis) while Remi Pelletier-Roy (Garneau-Québecor) completed the top five.

Only some 30 cyclists finished the men’s race in wet and slippery conditions.

“There were many attempted breakaways this evening, but the teams here wanted things to finish in a bunch sprint. I decided to launch my sprint as soon as possible, just coming out of the last turn. My strategy worked and I caught the others by surprise,” said Lachance, 21. Lachance also probably had something to prove this evening after a crash at the Canadian crit championships on Sunday in Lake Megantic which left him off the podium there.

This was his first win among the seniors, but Lachance scored a victory a few years ago in another age category while riding as a 15 year old. The Mardis series have been going continuously since 1978.

But while Lachance won this evening’s race, Jean-Samuel Deshaies is still leading in cumulative points after the first four of 10 weekly races. "It’s too bad I didn’t win," said Deshaies, “but our team picked up many of the intermediate sprints and we worked solidly to prevent our rivals from picking up precious points.”

Veronique Drapeau-Zgoralski (Specialized-Mazda SGC) won among the women, followed by Florence, Laplante-Lamarche (independent) in second with Elisabeth Albert (Rocky Mountain Forget Aubin) in third. Among those presenting awards to the cyclists this evening was Bernard Trottier, former owner of the sporting goods retail chain that still bears his name.

L'équipe pour le Tour de France

(English below)

pressesports

Le Team Europcar a dévoilé la liste des coureurs sélectionnés pour le Tour de France qui s'élancera le week-end prochain de Belgique. L'équipe vendéenne est articulée autour de ses deux leaders : Thomas Voeckler et Pierre Rolland.

Le doute planait sur sa participation. Thomas Voeckler sera bien au départ du Tour de France le week-end prochain en Belgique. L'Alsacien, après huit jours de repos forcé, a repris l'entrainement ce lundi. Quatrième de la dernière grande Boucle, maillot jaune durant dix jours, le chouchou du public français aura encore forcément son mot à dire. Tout comme Pierre Rolland. Dixième et meilleur jeune l'an dernier, l'Orléanais a construit sa saison autour de la grand-messe de juillet. Pierre Rolland sera surveillé comme le lait sur le feu, lui qui a de belles ambitions, à l'image de tout le Team Europcar.

Pour accompagner le duo qui a ébloui l'été 2011, les Vendéens aligneront des lieutenants de choix. Cyril Gautier, à la recherche d'un premier succès de référence, a le talent et les jambes pour signer un grand coup cet été. Bien sûr, Christophe Kern n'est pas dans sa forme de l'an dernier mais il a démontré sur le Critérium du Dauphiné qu'il revenait petit à petit au premier plan. Et lui aussi a programmé sa montée en puissance en vue du Tour de France. Davide Malacarne, baroudeur italien, aura lui  aussi des arguments sur les parcours escarpés. Les pointes de vitesse de Yukiya Arashiro, Giovanni Bernaudeau et Yohann Gène seront de précieux atouts. Quant à Vincent Jérôme, il a démontré l'an dernier son courage et sa pugnacité dans la défense du maillot jaune. Il est logique de le retrouver en 2012.

L'équipe pour le Tour de France : Thomas VOECKLER, Pierre ROLLAND, Christophe KERN, Cyril GAUTIER, Yukiya ARASHIRO, Giovanni BERNAUDEAU, Yohann Gène, Vincent JÉRÔME, Davide MALACARNE.

1er remplaçant : Pichot Alexandre

2ème remplaçant : Veilleux David

Voeckler and Rolland lead Europcar team

Thomas Voeckler and Pierre Rolland will lead Team Europcar's nine-man squad for the forthcoming Tour de France, which gets underway on Saturday with a prologue in the Belgian city of Liege.

Despite initial concerns about Voeckler's fitness, the 33 year old will take to the start of the Grande Boucle. The Frenchman - who famously wore the yellow jersey for 10 stages during last year's Tour - had been sidelined with a knee injury for eight days, but was back in the saddle for training on Monday.

Fourth in last year's race, the darling of the French public will certainly have strong ambitions in the 2012 Tour after a mixed start to the season.

Pierre Rolland, who finished 10th last year and picked up the white jersey as best young rider, will also be keen to build on his exceptional form in 2011. Rolland, 26 in October and so ineligible for the maillot blanc, has built his season around the Tour de France and is aware that he will now be a marked man in the peloton after a breakthrough race 12 months ago that included a memorable victory atop Alpe d'Huez in stage 19.

Accompanying leaders Voeckler and Rolland will be a diverse line-up with many cards to play over the three weeks in France.

Cyril Gautier, who impressed in fits and bursts last year (in particular during stage eight when he was part of a large breakaway), will target a maiden Grand Tour stage win. The 24 year old certainly has the talent to make a splash this summer – and targeting the white jersey is not out of the question.

Christophe Kern is not in the same form as he showed at key moments last year, but a promising return in the Criterium du Dauphine was enough to secure the former national time trial champion a place in Jean-Rene Bernaudeau's squad.

Vincent Jerome, who showed last year just how important he was to the team with some selfless performances in support of the maillot jaune, retains his place in the squad. The 27 year old will hope to have an incident-free start to the race following last year's unfortunate series of crashes in the opening stages.

New signing Davide Malacarne is making his Tour debut and will look to impress on the climbs or in breaks over rolling terrain. The 24-year-old all-rounder is also strong in the sprint, much like the remaining three riders on the roster: Japan's Yukiya Arashiro and French pair Giovanni Bernaudeau and Yohann Gene.

There is no place in the squad for the 2010 polka dot jersey winner Anthony Charteau, who supported Voeckler with much gusto in the mountains last year. Youngster Damien Gaudin did not make the final cut and so will have to wait at least another year before making his debut in the Tour. Sprinter Sebastian Chavanel also misses out.

Alexandre Pichot and David Veilleux have been named on the reserve list in the case of an injury occurring to one of the selected nine riders this week.

Team Europcar for the Tour: Thomas VOECKLER, Pierre ROLLAND, Christophe KERN, Cyril GAUTIER, Yukiya ARASHIRO, Giovanni BERNAUDEAU, Yohann GENE, Vincent JEROME, Davide MALACARNE
