Team Tinkoff Press Release
With a twist in the tail that nobody could have expected, Peter Sagan took his second stage win of this year’s Tour de France with an audacious attacking move 12km from the finish, taking teammate Maciej Bodnar, Geraint Thomas and his and Yellow Jersey teammate Chris Froome with him.
This led to Sagan and Froome sprinting for the stage, images that had the cycling world a buzz for a long time afterwards.
Peter’s stage win and the points amassed during the stage help the UCI World Champion to extend his lead in the Points (Green jersey) contest, and he now leads the second-placed rider by a significant margin.
Having been denied their bunch sprint by Peter Sagan’s breakaway group the day before the sprint teams were given a second chance to contest the finish before the Tour de France returned to the mountains tomorrow.
This didn’t stop a two-man break going up the road, but the peloton had little time to worry about the escape however with the constant threat of crosswinds making for nervous racing and resulting in several crashes. From 100km remaining however, the teams really started to pull at the front and upped the pace massively – so much so that when Tinkoff took the front, the pace was so high it caused a split in the peloton.
“We knew that it would be windy and in the direction to split it so we were up for a tough day, but for a lot of the stage there was a sense of false alarm with everyone looking at each other until we got near to the finish,” explained Sport Director Sean Yates after the finish.
This huge effort saw the gap drop massively and with 70km remaining, the gap was down to just 45 seconds and with 61km still to race, the break was caught. With such a high pace and strong winds buffeting the group, racing was hard, and shortly after the break was caught, a crash saw both Rafal Majka and Oscar Gatto go down. Luckily both were uninjured and able to rejoin the race.
The intermediate sprint saw the UCI World Champion take second behind Kittel and from here it was full gas to the finish. There was status quo until the 12km to go mark, where Peter and Maciej Bodnar were joined by the yellow jersey Froome and one of his teammates Thomas.
Quickly building up a twenty second advantage, this was a powerful break with strong riders working together – with Maciej particularly strong in holding the pace, fresh from his win in the Polish national TT championship race.
“The guys did a great job looking after Roman and riding at the front and then putting the hammer down late on,” Yates continued. “On the race radio they called it a violent acceleration when Peter raised it up a notch and pulled away with the other three, and it was already full gas”.
Once they opened up the gap, they had four guys fully committed to make it stick. Once again Peter demonstrated that he’s one of a kind, especially after yesterday’s super hard stage, being up the road all day. He fully deserved that win” added Yates, “and he racked up a whole load more points for green today.”
After his victory, Peter couldn’t believe how the stage had turned out. “It was something crazy what happened. I didn’t believe when we attacked that we could go. After Froomey and Geraint Thomas went with us I said ‘we are too strong; they will never catch us’. We just pulled very hard and made it happen.” He walked away from the interview saying, “Crazy, it was crazy.”
The surprise outcome made the stage easily one of the most exciting of the Tour so far – and as Peter explained, it was completely unplanned. “Today everybody knew it was a crazy wind, but the real crazy wind only came in the last 15km. There was no planning for the end, we knew to stay up front in position as the bunch would split. But to go in break with yellow and two guys like Bodnar & Thomas, you cannot plan that, it just happened.â€
The team’s owner, Oleg Tinkov, was full of praise for Peter – taking the stage win in a way few other riders could match. “As I said he is technically the best rider, and today we all saw it. He’s the character and the showman, he’s the best and I’m glad he’s in my team”.
“Peter did something today that not many riders in the peloton can do. It’s also a relief for the team after we lost Contador. A second stage win is good for us and it keeps the spirit up. We hope to go for the KOM jersey although we will see how Rafal Majka feels after he fell today, but it’s looking good.â€
After a hard stage with strong winds, Peter was thrilled with the support of his teammates, as well as the support he received in the breakaway. “Today I’m very surprised and also very happy. We were trying all the time to be in the front and it was often dangerous with a lot of crashes and the wind was very dangerous. The last 12km was just decisive to do well. Thank you to Maciej Bodnar as he did a huge job, and also Chris Froome and Thomas as they were working with us to make the difference over the bunch.â€
At the end of the stage, Peter’s lead in the Maillot Vert contest was extended to 90 points. “I am very happy – the green jersey, and the stage victory. Yesterday everybody was saying ‘are you frustrated?’ but I said I’m not and that I just look ahead each day. It was not planned at the end – it was in the moment, instinct. I bet everything on that attack as if the bunch caught us I wouldn’t have any thing left. It was four very strong riders in the front, and it was a winning combination.â€
Other Reactions
Chris Froome: “I was asking myself in the last ten kilometers: is it worth it? At the moment, I try to get time on my adversaries anywhere, knowing that Nairo [Quintana] is usually very strong in the last week. So whenever I manage to take seconds on him, I will”.
“For the time being, I’m just enjoying my racing. To be in the yellow jersey is a dream scenario. It’s bike racing at its best. I attack downhill and on the flat just because I enjoy it, I’m not forced to it because of the pressure. As a team, we ride very well together. Today, the guys positioned me at perfection, that’s how I could go after Sagan”.
“To be honest, I don’t think the ascent to the Ventoux being shortened will change the race much. Climbing to the Chalet-Reynard is already very hard and there might be even more wind than today with even more possibilities for the bunch to split before the climb.”
“The change of finale will only make the racing more intense because it’ll be shorter. To win even at half-way to the Mont Ventoux remains something special but at the back of all our minds, there’ll be the time trial of the day after. Anyone going too deep will pay for it later. From now on, every GC day will be raced in consideration with the day after. Maybe my rivals will try to take seconds on me on the Ventoux, everyone has a tactic, but I’ll keep the time trial in mind.â€
Dan Martin (Ettix Quickstep): “The guys did a fantastic job to keep me at the front and I came through this extremely tough stage. We showed again that we have a very strong team. With 15 kilometers to go, things became totally crazy, but Tony saved me at that point and rode five kilometers in the wind for me.”
“I lost some time on Froome, but so did everybody else, and to be quite frankly it’s a small gap, not the end of the world”, said Dan Martin, before talking of tomorrow stage, which will not go all the way to the top of Mont Ventoux, but instead will be six kilometers shorter, because of the strong winds.
“Actually, the hardest part of Mont Ventoux comes before Chalet-Reynard, where the stage will now conclude, so I still expect a tough stage. It’s a pity that we will not get to climb to the top of this iconic ascent, as we all dream about it, but this is how things are.”
Marcel Kittel: Despite missing on the chance to contest for the win in Montpellier, the 28-year-old remained upbeat at the finish: “It was another hard day at the office. The pace was relentless and the fight for positioning really intense, as everybody wanted to get a place at the front.”
“The guys kept me protected and worked hard to take care of me and Dan, who’s doing a very good GC. Going into the last kilometers, Peter launched that attack which surprised the whole bunch, Froome responded, and as soon as they took 10 meters, it became obvious that it will be very difficult to bring back such a strong group. It’s a pity, but the Tour is still long and other chances will come.”
Adam Yates: “In the finale, Team Sky set straight away they were going to give it a go. Fortunately I had big strong guys like Matthew Hayman to keep me out of the wind. Hats off to Froome and Sagan for what they have done. I expected guys to attack but I didn’t expect Froome to be one of them. The way he takes seconds every day, he’ll be hard to beat [for anyone]. Tomorrow I’ll just do my thing. If I’m on a good day, I’ll ride at the front.â€
Thibaut Pinot: “Physically, I have no consequence from that crash. It happened early but everything after has been difficult. It was very risky. On those roads there wasn’t space for everyone. After I crashed, there was no reason to take risks, it was more important to bring Sébastien Reichenbach back in the right group”.
“Peter Sagan is the world’s best rider at the moment, far ahead of any of us because he goes well on all the terrains! So he deserves to win today. As for myself, I hope to enjoy riding with the polka dot jersey on the Mont Ventoux. I’ll have to remain well positioned before the climb.â€
Geraint Thomas: “We were at the front all day, staying out of trouble and waiting for something to go. Then Sagan and Bodnar just went and that was it. We got a gap and on the radio we heard we had 15, 20 seconds. So we just committed then. But boy that was hard!”
Nairo Quintana (Movistar): Nairo Quintana: “We got safely through probably the hardest day so far for me in this Tour. It was a flat route of course, where even sprint and classics specialists suffered and lost an opportunity to fight for the stage win, and we all spent lots of energy, even Froome -he knew how to take chances fruitfully again today-, but, however, I can’t help but think we were only lucky today not to see much crashes, and that because the race organisers often don’t think about the rider.”
They go for different styles of spectacle, but they don’t care about the danger we face on some stages. We were risking our lives all the time – stages like this should be had another thought before going through. Let’s see what happens tomorrow – it’s sad we won’t be able to get over the Ventoux: it’s a beautiful climb, one that really suits my characteristics, one very different to today. There’s nothing decided yet, though: the GC keeps being sorted but there’s still a lot remaining, with plenty of mountains and the two time trials.â€
Mark Cavendish: “When the group went, I got by alright. But then someone touched my crank and I got blocked on a gear. It’s really a shame but it’s the way it is. We knew it was going to happen. The green jersey was not my objective anyway. There are not a lot of riders who can beat Sagan. He’s a rider like no other.”
Richie Porte: “It wasn’t just in the final, but the whole day [that the team looked after us]. It was so stressful and from kilometer 0 it was just shoulder to shoulder all day. The legs aren’t too bad. Obviously when Chris Froome and the other guys skipped off it was just carnage. But I felt good, comfortable, and I’m just really looking forward to the mountains again. I guess Team SKY are taking time wherever they can get it but tomorrow’s a different day and they may have to pay for their effort that they did there too.”
Tejay van Garderen: “To be honest I don’t even really know what happened. The wind makes it crazy and stressful and I’m just glad to survive. It was an impressive ride by Chris Froome. But you don’t look back, you just look forward. I got tangled up a bit in one of the crashes but I dind’t go down thankfully. I had to chase back but Marcus Burghardt waited for me and I got back with no real issues. With 40 kilometer an hour winds we knew it was going to be a crazy day and I’m just glad to make it through.”
TODAY
Stage 12 is another beast entirely, with a climb that will strike fear into even the strongest grimpeurs. On Bastille Day, the Tour de France will climb Mont Ventoux – 15.7km long and with an average gradient of 8.8%. The ‘Mont Chauve’ is not simply Hors Catégorie – it’s one of the hardest climbs in the world and can crack any rider. Tomorrow will show who still has the legs to compete in the GC race. … continued after advert
