Criterium international *Spoilers*
Looks like Eurosport aren't showing the first stage but here's the result
http://velonews.competitor.com/2014/03/ ... nal_321759
Bouhanni beat Nathan Haas (Garmin-Sharp) and Marko Kump (Tinokff-Saxo) to win the 89km stage, the first of two on the day.
A pair of Bouhanni's handlebars lives to fight another day, no bar banging from him.
Time trial this afternoon, another short one at 7km. Seems to be a lot of this at the moment

An incredibly poor field. This race used to have a fair amount of kudos. Sad to see it reduced to a bit player.0

Tom Dumoulin of Giant-Shimano won the afternoon time trial of the Criterium International, covering the short seven-kilometre course in a time of 9:07. Second place went to Rohan Dennis (Garmin-Sharp) at 9:10, with Bob Jungels (Trek Factory Racing) third at 9:17. The 23-year-old Dutchman also took over the race lead, ahead of Dennis and Jungels.
The time trial course was a technical one, with a few bumps along the way. It ended with the last kilometer climbing up to the finish line.
“Finally, after lots of close calls and second places it’s great to get a win," Dumoulin said of his season's first victory.
“I went full gas from the off and did a good ride, nailed all the corners and had good power on the fast sections. Once again the Giant Trinity TT bike felt so smooth and fast and mentally that’s a huge boost when you’re hurting.
“It’s great to win here in Corsica again after our Tour success here last year. It seems that we have a good connection with yellow jerseys in Corsica."
The first rider out, Felipe Paredes of Colombia, put in a time of 10:55, which proved to be nearly the slowest of the day. Alexis Gougeard (AG2R),who was in the break earlier in the day on the opening stage, led for a while with 9:33, but rider after rider topped that mark as well, as the time crept down to the nine-minute mark.
Domoulin moved into the hot seat with a best time of 9:07, three seconds faster that Richie Porte's winning time on the same course last year, and the other riders failed to better his time.
Sunday's third and decisive stage for the weekend stage race covers 176km and includes six climbs, featuring a mountain-top finish on the Cote de l'Ospedale near Porto Vecchio in the south of Corsica.0 -

Not bad at all. Although there aren't many big guns there it's still a good result for them. They are eager to please and should be good value at the tour this year.0

Rubbish entry list this year. Last year of Corsica´s contract with ASO to host the race. Will CI move to Yorkshire next year and be the new ASO race (extended to 3 days)?0

For some reason my Sky box quit recording after 37 minutes, missing all of the climb.
Caught up with the "Uphill track standing competition" elsewhere.
Frank looking good and looking back.
Peraud must have figured out he'd nicked the GC, not to contest the sprint to the guy who
he beat by 1 second."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
Great. Looking forward to watching the highlights on Eurosport.....but we've got live horse jumping instead!!!
Jeez0 -
It's a bit confusing using the name Frank when both Fränk Schleck and Mathias Frank are in the race. Anyway, Matthias beat Schleck.
