Usov came so close to victory at the 2005 GP Ouest-France with both himself and winner George Hincapie celebrating the win and unsure who won. Hincapie was awarded the win in a photo finish but years later after Hincpie admitted to doping his result was annulled so usov finsihed second to no one.[3][4] Usov re-signing with AG2R Prévoyance for the 2007 season was only going to happen if Francisco Mancebo did not return to the team as the team could not afford them both. Mancebo was implicated in Operación Puerto doping case and was facing possible suspension.[5] Mancebo left the team and AG2R Prévoyance signed Usov.[6] After four top 10's in stages at the 2007 Giro d'Italia, Usov had his lead-out in the perfect position to contest the stage 18 sprint finish. The bunch went around one of the final corners too fast and Usov did not break in-time, crashing into his teammate and out of contention.[7]
