Steve Cummings won stage 7 of the Tour de France in typical Steve Cummings fashion, attacking from the original break of the day, to win solo in Lac de Payolle.

Daryl Impey (Orica-BikeExchange) made it an even better day for African cycling as the South African finished in 2nd place. Daniel Navarro (Cofidis) was 3rd.

The seventh stage got off to a fast start with Mark Cavendish and Peter Sagan (Tinkoff) attacking from kilometre zero. Ten other riders joined the Green Jersey contenders but the peloton weren’t content on letting Sagan and Cavendish get away.

As soon as their group was caught, the counter attacks started and Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka were fully switched on as Edvald Boasson Hagen made a new break with three others. Once again, a few kilometres down the road this break was also caught. The third escape would be the defining move of the day and 29 riders rode clear after 40km of racing, including Cummings.

Due to the constant attacking, nearly 50km were covered in the first hour and so when the break went clear, the peloton sat up for a moment to regain composure which allowed the break to go five minutes clear. There were some big names in the escape group, with the yellow jersey race leader, Greg van Avermaet (BMC Racing) also present.

With the stage ending after an ascent of the Col d’Aspin, the climbers in the breakaway like Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) and Navarro were definitely the favourites for the stage.

When Navarro, Antoine Duchesne (Direct Energie) and Matti Breschel (Tinkoff) got a 15 second gap on the lead group, the first surprise of the day was when Cummings rode solo across to the trio and injected some real pace into their attack.

This caused a reaction in the chase and the big group split as nine riders then tried to come across to the 4 leaders. The junction was just about to be made with 26km to go but before the chasers made contact, Cummings counter attacked and went solo.

[pullquote]Cummings: I was cooking on the climb [to col d’Aspin]. I thought Nibali would come back so I wondered if I should wait for him and try to outsprint him. The difference between my stage win at the Dauphiné where I had good sensations all the way, I felt horrible uphill today.[/pullquote]

The Col d’Aspin is a 12km category 1 climb that topped out 7km before the finish in Lac de Poyolle. The odds were stacked against Cummings as he was alone, being chased by 12 riders who were just 30 seconds behind him when the Aspin began. Everybody thought Nibali and Navarro would be able to bridge the gap to Cummings, and they tried, attacking on the very lowest slopes of the Aspin.

Cummings though, winner of four world tour stages in 2016 alone, held a consistent pace though and he was totally committed to the move.

In the end, Cummings even put time into his closest chasers on the Aspin. With the peloton still four minutes down on Cummings as he began the descent to the line, he just needed to stay upright to take an incredible victory.

Cummings was able to do so with ease and the British rider from the Wirral on Merseyside was even able to savour the moment, crossing the line more than a minute ahead of Impey.

Another unbelievable day for the African Team who have now won 4 out of the first 7 stages. Mark Cavendish retained the lead in Green Jersey points competition too, ensuring the team had two riders on the stage podium.

Steve Cummings: That was sweet. The Tour is the Tour, it’s special. I didn’t need to win a stage this year. I had a different condition from last year as I started the Tour riding for Mark [Cavendish] who is such a winner and an inspiration. It’s brilliant, it’s fantastic. After what has already happened this week, it is just fantastic to have won. Of all my victories, I think this has to be my best one.

I wasn’t confident in that group with Nibali and Navarro. Before, I had to play it strategically with the teams who had the numbers, like Cofidis and Cannondale with three riders, Astana with two… I don’t know why Navarro killed himself on the flat because he’s such a good climber but when he rode away with one Cannondale (Breschel) and Chavanel’s team-mate (Duchesne) it was perfect for me to go with them.

Then I avoided Nibali to come across. It was a good strategy, I think! But I was cooking on the climb [to col d’Aspin]. I thought Nibali would come back so I wondered if I should wait for him and try to outsprint him. The difference between my stage win at the Dauphiné where I had good sensations all the way, I felt horrible uphill today.

I was worried that Nibali would pass me like Marco Pantani and I wouldn’t be able to hold his wheel. But I committed to my decision to ride my tempo till the end. Last year’s win at Mende was a dream. For a while after that stage victory, I questioned myself: what after that?

I was lost for a month. When I eventually realized what I had achieved, I’ve wanted to do it again. But I needed confidence. I’m not the most confident person. I don’t like to watch the video of Mende but I have to do it when I don’t feel well to realize that I can do that.

I also have a team behind me with calm people who believe in the process. My training is always the same. My weight is always the same. I just need luck and I know that I can win, I just don’t know when. I haven’t wanted to prove anything with regards to my non-selection for the Olympic Games. After the disappointment, I passed to the next chapter. The Tour de France is the biggest show. It’s the biggest race on earth. It’s bigger for a cyclist than the Olympics.”

When asked about the Olympics, he admits that question is out of his hands but if he was the coach, he’d pick himself and that was backed up by Chris Boardman who said on ITV4 that he’d have him in the team like a shot.

Yellow Jersey: Greg Van Avermaet: “I knew it would be hard to keep the jersey today. I made a smart move I think to go in the break. It was a hard start and everybody wanted to go. We tried to control but at one point we were riding and they kept on jumping behind us and then I said maybe it’s better that I save my teammates again and I just go by myself.

It kept the pressure off the team, they didn’t have to work that hard today and I keep yellow. It was a great day, it’s not often you see yellow in the breakaway It wasn’t easy but I gained some time. I look forward to tomorrow as it’s probably my last day in yellow. I will enjoy it, it’s a mountain stage so we will see how it goes.”

“With yellow on the shoulders you always do a little bit more. I was really motivated to keep the jersey. I just wanted to go for it, the shape is really good and I’m happy to have another day.”

Richie Porte: “I didn’t come down [when the arch came down on the course], I think Yates might have. It was a strange one. Common sense prevailed and everybody rode on. The Col d’Aspin was good. I had a bit of a gap there over the top.

I’m not exactly sure what happened, but you’re never going to stay away on a descent like that with those guys coming back as quickly as they were. The pace on the climb wasn’t that high. I felt good, it’s another day down and it’s one that could have been quite tricky with that last little descent. But it all went well. We’re going to take it as it comes. I’m climbing with the best of the best, the time loss still hurts, but it’s day by day.”

Tejay van Garderen: “No one really attacked. Col d’Aspin isn’t the hardest climb. We didn’t have any climbs before to really soften the legs up so everyone was pretty fresh. We did have a hard tempo out there, I heard on the radio that Pinot was dropped, so it’s not easy if a guy like him is getting dropped. With the next two days coming up I think people are pretty nervous for those two days, so I think we’ll see some fireworks tomorrow and Sunday.”

“There was a 20-man break out there. That doesn’t happen easily. We were fighting out there for 60 km to get the breakaway. On the climb it was a stiff tempo. There were no big attacks from the GC guys because we’re all a little too fresh, but today softened up the legs for the coming days. It was a dream scenario today with Greg up the road.”

Dan Martin: Sitting in 10th on the general classification, “The guys did a great job, chasing after the dangerous riders in the first break, and then keeping me out of the wind and always in a good position. The team spirit is really fantastic here and you could see that again today. We tried to make a gap on the climb in the final kilometre, but it was hard, because Sky put everybody in the red. I didn’t make it today, but the sensations are good for the next stages.”

Julian Alaphilippe lost the white jersey and dropped one place in the GC, shared his thoughts on stage 7 “I’m sad to get this news after the stage, but I was aware this will happen sooner or later. The circumstances were unusual, but there’s nothing I can do about it. (re Adam Yates being awarded jersey after being knocked down by the flamme rouge arch)”.

“I am happy for wearing the jersey for five days, which I see as a great performance for my first Tour de France, and also for paying one more visit to the podium. So far, the race has been a great journey and a fantastic experience for me, people began to know me better and to cheer for me during the race, while I got to learn the trade in the Grand Tour peloton.”

“Now I will take things day by day, and although it will be difficult in the high mountains, I will do my best and help Dan Martin there”, said Julian, who is third overall after the first seven stages of the event, making him the best placed French rider in the race.

Chris Froome: (happy to hold fifth) “We’ve got a really big weekend coming up and there’s a lot of hard racing to come. It’s better to save a little bit in the tank. I’d imagine we’ll see bigger time gaps tomorrow. There should be some tired legs as today wasn’t an easy day”.

“Movistar rode a much higher pace than we did controlling the race. It looked as if they wanted to bring the break back today, which told me that they wanted to try and go for the stage – but then on the final climb it looked as if they backed off a bit.”

Alejandro Valverde (Movistar): “The arch collapsed as we headed into the final kilometre – someone might have wanted the race to end a bit earlier! (laughs). Seriously, it’s all right for us. It was a slightly more calm day, but the wear and tear of the tough previous stages is starting to pay off. It was also a strange race today: no one was thinking that such a big escape would form. In the end, it sticked. We will see what we can do tomorrow.”

Nairo Quintana (Movistar): “It was a faster race than we expected. The Col d’Aspin was also climbed at higher speed than we thought and there weren’t many energies left for a big attack within the GC contenders – we all just could avoid the escapees keeping a massive gap and hope for a better chance tomorrow.”

Alberto Contador: Looking back on the day’s racing, Alberto was pleased with how the strategy for the day worked out. “Although the stage had just one climb, the pace was high throughout the day. It also was a climb with strong winds. Despite the headwind, the average speed was high and that combined with the heat took its toll on some riders, so I decided to go to the back of the group. It’s true that this change in rhythm can create gaps but on the other hand you ride well protected from the wind. My body welcomed that and it saved the day for me.”

Thomas de Gendt: “I still have the polka dot jersey because a little bit of luck was on my side, but I’m afraid that tomorrow will be my last day with this jersey. I need great legs to go and get more points. I hope so but I have to be realistic as well. However, I felt much better today than yesterday. It means I have recovered well from my ride at the front on Wednesday.”

Vincenzo Nibali: “Cummings has done well anticipating our return. He told me after the race that he did it because he was scared of me. It wasn’t easy to read this race. I made the right breakaway and I did quite well I think. I’m looking for my best shape and I hope to have fun during this Tour. I haven’t stopped smiling even though I lost some time the other day. I know I can have a good Tour de France even after having won the Giro d’Italia. The first goal is to have a good final GC with Fabio Aru. He’s in a great shape.”

Thibaut Pinot: “I simply didn’t have the legs. There’s no excuse to look for. It’s three times that I arrive in the Pyrenees and that I lose ground. That’s it. I find myself with the same sensations as in the Dauphine. I’m not 100 pc and in the Tour, you have to be 100 pc. Of course, it’s a waste. It’s a season that almost goes to crumbs. The Tour is the highlight of the season and from the first mountain stage, the objective is over. It is not a matter of preparation. We looked to reach our peak for the Ventoux, but we’re not machines. To program a peak it’s more easily said than done. We’ll see tomorrow. If it’s like today, there won’t be any surprise. After two kilometers I realized I was not at my best.”

Today’s Stage

Today brings with it the Souvenir Jacques Goddet – and a worthy one at that. The Col du Tourmalet is the first of four climbs of the day, and the first Hors Catégorie climb of this Tour de France. 19km long and with an average gradient of 7.4%, this killer of a climb will set the tone for the day, on a parcours that looks more like a saw than a road stage. With barely a flat section on which to recover over the entire 184km stage, this will be a tough, exhausting day for everyone.
