Stage and overall win for Tiernan-Locke

Jonathan Tiernan-Locke has won the final stage of the Tour Méditerranéen and with it the overall title. Tiernan-Locke broke clear of the peloton on the climb of the Col du Corps de Garde to take the victory in style.

The Col de Garde was being used as a replacement for Mont Faron which was unrideable due to snow. However this change in finishing climb did not deter Tiernan-Locke from his plan to attack, which he carried out to perfection managing convincingly pull away from the field where his closest competition came from noted mountain climbers Dani Navarro and Stefano Garzelli.

Tiernan-Locke will now be full of confidence heading to the Tour du Haut Var, another stage race which should suit his characteristics.
