In yesterday's Giro stage, young Frenchmen Mickael Buffaz inadvertently found himself ahead of the peloton by five minutes. He'd gone for an intermediate sprint at the same time that the group decided to sit up and take it easy.So what did the enterprising young man do? Did he realize his once in a lifetime opportunity? Did he put his head down and head for certain glory at the finish line? Ha! He's French, remember? He pulled over to the side of the road and cried in team manager Eric Boyer's arms."He cracked emotionally," explained Boyer."He didn't know what he had to do. This is his first Grand Tour and hewas afraid that his move would be badly interpreted." Buffaz wascaught after 147 kilometers off the front, and he's the new leader ofthe "Fuga Gilera" trophy, which is based on the number of kilometerscovered in breakaways.Alert Velo Magazine! Richard Virenque's successor has been found!
