SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain :Victor Lafay gave his Cofidis team their first Tour de France win in 15 years when he claimed the second stage , putting years of scandals and near misses behind the French outfit on Sunday.
In 2004, Cedric Vasseur, now the team's general manager, was one of several riders detained for questioning in the doping scandal before being cleared of any wrongdoing. "We've been going for this Tour stage win on the Tour for so long and also we've never won a French national title . Lafay added:"I kept on telling myself, 'They're going to eat me up, they're going to eat me up, but suddenly I realised I had done it."
