Saturday, August 15: 4th and Final Stage, Nantua - Lelex Monts Jura, 140.5 km

Pierre-Roger Delatour emphatically wins the final stage of Tour de l'Ain

The Race: We had two career firsts today. Twenty-one year old Pierre-Roger Delatour, who is in his first year as a professional, won his first pro race. And final overall winner, Alexandre Geniez won the first stage race of his pro career, six years after he won the amateur Ronde de l'Isard.

The break that went the distance to the line broke away 21 kilometers from the finish. Pierre-Roger Delatour tried to leave the break, but was brought back. He went again near the finish to win the stage.

Geniez finished with that front group to cement his final leadership of the race.

Results:

140.5 kilometers raced at an average speed of 38.128 km/hr

Friday, August 14: Stage 3, Lagnieu - Bellignat, 145.1 km

Alexandre Geniez wins Tour de l'Ain stage 3

The Race: L'Equipe noted that Alexandre Geniez is having a beautiful year. In April he won Tro Bro Léon and in May his ninth place in the Giro made him the best-placed Frenchman. Today his stage win also made him the GC leader of the Tour de l'Ain.

A half-kilometer from the finish he caught the front break from which he had been dropped on the final descent. He wasted no time and immediately put in in two attacks, and both times Florian Vachon brought him back.

The third time was the charm and with that surge, Geniez finished just ahead of Vachon, Théo Vimpere and Pierre-Roger Latour.

Thursday, August 13: Stage 2, Feillens- Pont de Vaux, 161.7 km

Nacer Bouhanni (in yellow with red shorts) heads for the line to win stage 2

The Race: Winning two stages in a row, Nacer Bouhanni has made the best of the flatter stages before the real climbing starts in stage three. This was Bouhanni's ninth victory this season.

Four riders broke away today, but they were rounded in time for a giant sprint, which was handily won by Bouhanni, who also retains his GC lead.

Bouhanni said he'll be in the gruppetto tomorrow, but that he will do what he can to help teammate Stéphane Rossetto in his quest for the final overall lead.

Results:

Wednesday, August 12: Stage 1, La Plaine Tonique - St. Vulbas, 162.0 km

Now that's what they call a clean set of wheels. Nacer Bouhanni is clearly the fastest man at the end of Tour de l'Ain stage 1.

The Race: It was a scorching hot day, making for difficult racing and a tense, stressful peloton.

A break of five riders (Julien El Fares, Jeremy House, Jerome Cousin, Pierre Gouault and Bjorn Thurau) stubbornly refused to be caught by the peloton. House was eventually dropped and El Fares couldn't contribute because of intestinal troubles.

With ten kilometers to go, the breakaways were still a minute up the road. The escapees were rounded up, however, setting things up for a big sprint.

Cofidis rider Nacer Bouhanni prevailed, his eighth sprint victory of the year. The first-place time bonus allowed him to take the overall lead from Mike Teunissen.

Complete Results:

162.0 kilometers raced at an average speed of 44.50 km/hr

Tuesday, August 11: Prologue, Bourg-en-Bresse 3.8 km individual time trial

Stage winner Mike Teunissen

The Race: Mike Teunissen won his first professional race today when he was the fastest rider at the Tour de l'Ain 3.8-kilometer prologue. Though the times get rounded in the GC standings, he was six one-hundredths of a second faster than second-place Alexandre Geniez.

The stage featured a flat, technically challenging course with lots of corners.

Teunissen, winner last year of the U23 Paris-Roubaix and Paris-Tours, gets the race leader's yellow jersey to wear during tomorrow mostly flat stage.

Results & GC:

3.8 km raced at an average speed of 50.44 km/hr
