King For a Day! Wauters blasts to stage win & Maillot Jaune in Antwerp

Under a drizzling sky at the start of Stage One in Saint-Omer, Rabobank ploegleader Theo De Rooy told us part of his plan for the 2001 Tour De France was to do something spectacular. It didn't take De Rooy long to rally his Raboboys to break the bank. De Rooy's Rabo rider Marc Wauters got in the winning break with less than 30 km to go, made the stage winning move at the 1 km kite and thanks to his time bonus, took over the Maillot Jaune from Christophe Moreau.

"It was like a dream for me to win and then get the Yellow Jersey", said Wauters, a lanky, likeable guy who is pretty much known as the domestique's domestique, today was the dream of a lifetime come true. His spectacular win was witnessed by HRH King Albert and Queen Paola of Belgium, and included a prize of a $20,000 diamonds, plus Wauters will ride through his hometown of Lommen tomorrow, where his wife and kids will greet him. Truly king for a day!

Thanks to his excellent 12th place in the Dunkirk prologue, Wauters was only 15" behind Maillot Jaune Christophe Moreau (Festina) and when he got away in the animated final in Vrasene with 28 km to race, he and De Rooy knew that the Maillot Jaune was possibility as the break was working well.

With the average speed well over 47 km/hr and the flat parcours with a good tailwind, it was a perfect scenario for Wauters, but the Rabobank rider was worried. "I thought O'Grady would win", as the speedy Aussie had three Credit Agricole teammates in the break and was 8th on GC, 4" ahead of the Belgian. But Wauters is a cagy, experienced rider and he made his move at the 1 km mark, where Arnaud Pretot (Festina) jumped up to him and the duo gapped the rest of the break to finish 1-2.

Despite his best effort, Jan Kirsipuu (AG2R) didn't grab the Maillot Jaune as planned but his bonus sprint win in Dunkirk and powerful sprint to win the bunch sprint for 17th, 22" behind Wauters gave the Estonian Express a 2 point lead for the Maillot Vert over yesterday's stage winner Erik Zabel. No change in the Maillot Pois for the best climber as today's flat as a pancake stage had no climbs.

Paul Van Hyfte (Lotto) provided some mid-race buffoonery With 60 km to go when he rode through his home town of Zelzate alone in the lead, waving his hands and yelling at his local fans who screamed back in glee with typically beer-fuelled Belgian enthusiasm.

American Tyler Hamilton (USPS) had a tough day at the office today; he crashed hard on the rough chip and seal roads leading to Antwerp and tore up his right elbow and leg, eventually finishing 177th at 6'45". How Hamilton's condition will affect the USPS Team Time Trial effort remains to be seen, as the soft-spoken man from Marblehead, Mass has the heart of a lion.
