After being the bridesmaide, Peter Sagan on stage 7 was the bride as his team led him to a big win in Albi as he strengthened his grip on the Green jersey
Sagan 1st after a 150km lead-out by Cannondale
Generally a lead-out train for a sprint forms for the closing kilometres of a stage but if you have a look at the final 150km of the stage from Montpellier to Albi you’ll be hard pressed to find a team other than Cannondale on the front of the peloton for longer than a couple of minutes.
This was a day when their leader, Peter Sagan, was determined to win and ultimately he did. The credit for success must go to every member of the team that was utterly committed to delivering him to the line in first place.
Not only did he win the stage, he did so on a day that his teams eliminated his main rivals for the green jersey. Sagan was first at the intermediate sprint and first again at the finish. He collected the maximum haul of points for the stage (65) and now leads yesterday’s winner 224 points, to 130.
The Slovakian champion was frustrated at having finished second in three stages in the first week but admitted after stage six that he had a plan: wait, be patient, and pounce when the other sprinters will have switched into survival mode.
The terrain on the roads to the capital of the Tarn, were anything but flat. It was a day of undulations but also featured three significant categorised climbs. It was on the second rise, the col de la Croix de Mounis,that Mark Cavendish, André Greipel and a group of 58 others got in trouble. A point was made by Cannondale: don’t mess with our leader! And they rammed the point home by never easing the tempo until the race was won.

The stage
The official start of the seventh stage of the 100th Tour de France was at 12.19pm. There were 190 riders at the sign on with Janez Brajkovic (AST) the non-starter. The stage from Montpellier to Albi was 205.5km long and featured four categorised climbs. The intermediate sprint was in Viane Pierre-Ségade (at 135km).
Vanmarcke (BEL) launched the first attack and was briefly joined by Kadri, Voigt, Perez, El Fares and Gasparotto. Voigt (RTL) surged again after the original move was caught and he was joined by Kadri (ALM) they had a lead of 1’10†when there was a crash in the peloton, at 11km, that involved Vande Velde (GRS), Moreno (KAT), Quintana (MOV), Boasson Hagen (SKY). The American Garmin-Sharp rider abandoned the race because of the injuries he sustained.
Kadri takes a virtual lead in climbing competition
The maximum gain of the two escapees was 6’40†at 27km. Cannondale, Omega, Orica, Lotto and Argos set the pace of the peloton and the advantage of Voigt and Kadri dropped to 5’30†by 34km. The average speed for the first hour was 43.9km/h; the second hour 34.2km/h. The peloton was paced along by the same five teams until the top of the first climb; Kadri led Voigt over the top and the bunch was behind by 4’15â€. Kadri led over the second climb too and put himself in the lead of the climbing classification.
Rolland (EUC) attacked the peloton in the final kilometre of the col de la Croix de Mounis but he was marked by Bardet (ALM) who took third place. Cannondale was the dominant team at the head of the peloton and at the 100km mark, they were 35†behind Kadri and Voigt while Greipel’s peloton was at 1’00†and Cavendish’s group was at 2’00â€. Voigt attacked Kadri at 107km and at 108km Kadri was caught and one kilometre later so was Voigt. The bunch split into three groups on the second climb. The average speed for the third hour was 38.3km/h. Malori (LAM) abandoned the Tour at the 110km mark.
Phase two: Bakelants attacks
Once Sagan claimed the 20pts for first at the intermediate sprint, the Cannondale team ceased its efforts and Bakelants (RTL) attacked. He was caught by Oroz (EUS) and Gautier (EUC) at 141km and by 145km the winner of stage two was the virtual leader of GC as his trio was 40†ahead of Impey’s peloton that had an advantage of 2’00†on the second peloton.
Bakelants led over the third climb and the yellow jersey’s peloton was at 50â€. With 50km to go, Bakelants was the virtual leader of the Tour with a lead of 1’00†on Impey’s group. The average speed for the fourth hour was 46.1km/h! Cannondale did most of the chasing but Impey had support from Albasini, Clarke and Gerrans. With 10km to go, the leading trio were just 20†ahead, meaning Bakelant’s bid for another day in the yellow jersey was essentially over. The peloton caught the trio with 2.8km to go.
Sagan secures his first win: a true team effort for Cannondale
The Cannondale team had five men at the front going into the final kilometre but a few teams had the courage to take on the green machine that had dominated the stage. Argos-Shimano seemed like it might have been able to pull off a coup thanks to John Degenkolb who opened up the sprint on the left side of the road but Sagan had this move covered; the Slovakian champion came off the wheel of the German inside the final 200m and took the win by over a bike length. It is the first victory for Sagan in the 100th Tour and his fourth stage win in total.
Daryl Impey finished the stage in 12th place; he will ride stage eight in the yellow jersey.
Reactions
Peter Sagan: ““This was a show of how strong we are as a team. All of our riders were committed to one thing and everyone trusts me now and they are prepared to work hard for me because they know that I want to do well. Even if it’s not an ideal stage for me, I’ll keep on trying.”
“They are even prepared to more than I ask of them. We did a lot of work on the second climb and we dropped the sprinters and the team started to believe that we could do well. I had said, ‘We’ll pull only until we get to the intermediate sprint and then we’ll take it easy…’ I thought maybe another team would take over and lead through to the finish.”
“My team-mates didn’t understand why. They came to me and said, ‘But we can continue to ride! Why should we sit up now and wait for the sprinters?’ And then they went back to the front and worked very, very well.”
“This is the end of the first week but we still have another two weeks ahead of us. It’s still a long way to go until the end of the Tour de France and we don’t have any bad luck and can hold the green jersey all the way to Paris.â€
Chris Froome: After the finish Froome reflected on a tough stage and looked ahead to Saturday and the first big mountain showdown. “I think most of us knew it was going to come down to a bunch sprint but we didn’t expect Cannondale to take it up the way they did,” he admitted. “That made the race a bit harder but we were safe in the front with a few other guys. We’re glad to get to the finish and we’re a day closer to the mountains now.
“It will definitely be a fight on the climb tomorrow up to the finish. This is what we’ve trained for and we’re looking forward to putting it to good use now. I think we’ve got a well-established style of racing already. I don’t see us doing anything differently. Obviously in the heat of the race you’ve got to be able to make calls within those last few kilometres I’m sure it’s going to come down to that tomorrow. I’m looking forward to it.â€
Cadel Evans: Evans said he expects Saturday and Sunday’s stages in the Pyrenees to be less decisive than the five days in the Alps in the race’s final week. “I think we’ll see the first selections and for the first time who is really here and trying to win the race in the Pyrenees,” Evans said. “Of course, we already had a bit of key time losses by some of the GC (general classification) contenders in the team time trial – like myself. But the majority of time lost is in the Alps.”

White jersey Michael Kwiatkowski “It was really tough today,” Kwiatkowski said. “I didn’t expect Cannondale to go so fast on the climbs. With 100km to go they went full gas on the climb and dropped many guys. I didn’t realize they could handle that gap until the finish. I’d like to thank Chava and Peter Velits, who stayed with me so I could save my legs for tomorrow.”
“It was a dream to wear the white jersey before the Tour de France, but now I have worn it for six days. It’s an amazing feeling. I will try to keep this jersey as long as possible. There are so many hard stages in front of us. So, I don’t know how it will go. For sure Nairo Quintana, Tejay van Garderen, Thibaut Pinot are good climbers, so in the second and third week they will gain some time.”
