April 30, 2009 (New Mexico) – Planet Energy Pro Cycling Team began the Tour of the Gila in New Mexico with reserved ambitions. The 6-man team of Francois Parisien, Ryan Roth, Andrew Randell, Bruno Langlois, Maxime Vives and Keven Lacombe was fit and well prepared however the upcoming five days of racing would boast the toughest competition in North America since the Tour of California in February. Indeed, the champion of this year Tour of California Levi Leipheimer was on the start line today with team mates Chris Horner and the man himself Lance Armstrong of Mellow Johnny’s. Our team tactics were simple: be present in the important breaks and preserve Parisien as best as possible for the tough mountain top finish.

The Stage 1 race (Silver City to Mogollon Road Race, 151km/115km) rolled out of Silver City at 9:05 am sharp and it did not take long for the peloton to begin attacking. The race never let up until a strong move of 12 riders went clear. Our team missed the important break and Randell ensured our team got to the front to chase it down. Lacombe and Langlois were on the counter attack several times hunting for the next “good move”. Over the next 20km, through some tough rolling hills the peloton stayed glued together. At approximately 70km to go, 15 men went clear and once again our Team Planet Energy missed the important move. Perhaps we were trying to hard earlier? Mellow Johnny’s Armstrong, Leipheimer and Horner also missed it!

Our Planet Energy team began chasing immediately, but without help from any other team we decided to take a risk and sit up. After the break reached three minutes, Armstrong began to ride at the front with Chris Horner and our decision was correct. We decided to help Mellow Johnny’s since we needed to bring back the race to have any chance on the GC. Otherwise it may have been over. We rode. Vives, Randell, Roth, Lacombe, Langlois with Armstrong and Horner. Parisien and Leipheimer sat on. After 40km of chasing over tough climbing terrain the gap was reduced to 1 min at the base of the final 10 km climb. The race to the summit was launched with Lacombe giving Parisien excellent position to execute the final battle. The peloton was splitting into multiple groups as the race ascended from the valley.

Having only two riders, Armstrong and Horner to chase for Leipheimer, Johan Bruyneel approached me after the finish and thanked our team for the help in the chase saying, “Without you guys it would have been over for us.” I replied, “We’ve missed the important move, so we needed to stay in the game as well.”

Aside, it is very interesting to read the reports of the following journalists:

Steve Frothingham of Velo News : “Mellow Johnny’s team and a few of the other teams that were not in the break began to narrow the gap”.

And Kirsten Robbins of Cycling News: “Seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong and Chris Horner did the work of eight-men, bringing star-climber Levi Leipheimer into the opening stage victory”

Our team Planet Energy did most of the work with Lance Armstrong and Chris Horner to narrow the gap. End of story. You can quote me on that! Note: Planet Energy is still ranked 4th in UCI Tour of America as per April 25, 2009.
