The 2007 Classic de l'Indre over a demanding 200km course and ending in Châteauroux proved to be an eventful race with a few breakaways, none of which would prove to be successful as the big teams held things tightly in check so that the sprinters would have their say.

It's been a fairly productive few days for the Cofidis team with their strong early form in the Eneco Tour, so when Chris Sutton took out the Classic de l'Indre it would have been icing on the cake.

Sutton is on his way to the Slipstream team at the end of the season so, charitable bloke that he is, he wanted to give Cofidis a going away present...at least, that's sort of how he tells it.

So let's have a look at the jublilation of the win...
