GC Battle – Big Shakeup! Chris Froome crashed and with it, lost time to most of the GC contenders but it was seconds not minutes so all is good for him. Thirty six seconds to Bardet who won but a lot less to Quintanta, Aru and Dan Martin. Meanwhile, Richie Porte, after crashing as well, lost time to them all except Adam Yates who lost almost a minute to Bardet. It was a bad day too for Bauke Mollema finishing in 23rd, 4.26 down and dropping to 10th overall after he too crashed. So, Froome lost time but previous podium riders Yates and Mollema dropped out of it and Bardet and Quintana jumped into it! One more mountain stage to go!

Report
Romain Bardet gave the host nation its first stage victory on stage 19 of the 103rd Tour de France. He rode away from the yellow jersey group on the downhill preceding the final ascent to Le Bettex to catch lone escapee Rui Costa.

Race leader Chris Froome and runner up Bauke Mollema crashed on the downhill to the stage finish with more consequences for the Dutchman than the yellow jersey. Bardet moved up to second overall with two days to go.

There were 177 riders on the start line for stage 19 at Albertville. Thomas De Gendt (Lotto-Soudal) attacked from the gun which saw the polka dot jersey holder Rafal Majka (Tinkoff) reacting.

A group of 20 riders formed with Alexey Lutsenko (Astana), Robert Kiserlovski and Majka (Tinkoff), Alexis Vuillermoz (AG2R-La Mondiale), George Bennett (LottoNL-Jumbo), Pierre Rolland (Cannondale-Drapac), Markus Burghardt and Amaël Moinard (BMC), Natnael Berhane (Dimension Data), Laurens ten Dam (Giant-Alpecin), Emmanuel Buchman (Bora-Argon 18), Rui Costa (Lampre-Merida), De Gendt and Tony Gallopin (Lotto-Soudal), Tony Martin (Etixx-Quick Step), Daniel Navarro (Cofidis), Michael Matthews (Orica-BikeExchange), Eduardo Sepulveda and Vegard Breen (Fortuneo-Vital Concept). They had a maximum lead of 4.42.

Astana seized the reins of the peloton as early as the ascent to Collet du Tamié and reduced the gap to two minutes. Double stage winner Tom Dumoulin (Giant-Alpecin) meanwhile crashed in the middle of the peloton with 60km to go. He was forced to abandon with an injured wrist. The leading group was soon down to 12 riders on the grueling Montée de Bisanne where Rafal Majka mathematically secured his second King of the Mountains trophy after the 2014 Tour de France.

Rolland then attacked 46km before the end but crashed as there were 40km remaining so his breakaway companion Rui Costa stayed alone in the lead. Richie Porte (BMC) was involved in a crash that took Sébastien Reichenbach (FDJ) to the ground as well.

Mikaël Chérel (AG2R-La Mondiale) attacked on the downhill of côte de Domancy to anticipate an action by Romain Bardet who joined Rui Costa with 7.5km to go. He soloed to victory 3km before the finish while Froome was in difficulty after he crashed on the downhill and Mollema, who also went off road and struggled further back.

Froome still leads the Tour de France with an advantage of 4.11 over Bardet, 4.27 over Nairo Quintana, 4.36 over Adam Yates and 5.17 over Porte.

REACTIONS

Chris Froome said: “There’s never a quiet day at the Tour! It’s ironic really. I was just trying to stay up front, safe and out of trouble. I think I just hit one of the white lines on the road and lost my front wheel. I’m okay. I’m lucky nothing is seriously injured, I just lost a bit of skin obviously and banged my knee a bit.”

“This is the kind of day that I feel grateful I’ve got that four-minute advantage. I can fall back on that a little bit and obviously it was great for me to have teammates all the way up to the finish. Wout [Poels] in particular, and all the guys – it was a great team effort today and it feels good to be one day closer to Paris.”

It briefly looked as though Froome would take a spare bike from the team car before the climb, but in the end he rode Thomas’ bike to the finish. “I finished on Geraint Thomas’ bike. I knew the car was quite far back and mine wasn’t rideable after the crash. Thanks a lot to Geraint for his bike! I rode that to the finish and it was all right. Tomorrow is going to be really hard. I’m sure I’m going to be a bit sore and stiff after today.”

“But hopefully I can rely on my teammates for one last push to get through the stage.”

Adam Yates: “I started to struggle on the Montée de Bisanne. I managed to come across but I couldn’t follow at the end so I lost a bit of time. It’s my first bad day at the Tour de France, so I can be satisfied. I didn’t come to the race riding for GC and I’m fourth overall with the white jersey on my shoulders. It’s not that bad. Now I have to keep it till Paris. I know I’ve lost a bit to Meintjes but I have to hang on for one more day.”

“It was definitely the hardest day of the last three weeks,” said Yates. “I think it was still a good performance, we are eleven seconds off third place and if an opportunity comes along to reclaim those seconds and get on the podium then certainly I will try to take it. Like I’ve said throughout, we’ve been racing day to day and the team have been fantastic the way we have competed everyday, obviously I’m tired now but we will see what happens tomorrow.”

Richie Porte: “I left a bit of skin out on the second descent. I just crashed on the descent, quite a lot of guys did, but I think I was the first one down. I think it’s just a bit of skin missing, it’s one of those things.”

“It was such a hard day and it was a mess out there in the final. I think everybody came down. But I think I worked well with what I had and tomorrow’s another day. Today, even up hill around the corners, it was a bit slippery, so we’ll see how tomorrow pans out. I gave it my all today. The team were just amazing out there. The way they brought me back to the group after the crash and their work on the climbs was phenomenal.”

Dan Martin: 9th on the overall standings of the Tour de France with just two days left to go, Dan went on the attack on the tough Le Bettex climb. Dan powered away on the 9.8-km long climb with four kilometers to go when Romain Bardet (AG2R) and Rui Costa (Lampre-Merida) – the lone survivor of the day’s escape, were leading with a 1:20 gap, while the elite group was shattered as a result of Astana’s hard tempo and of the slippery roads which led to many riders crashing out of the race.

“Some riders were crashing in front of me and I was a bit more careful, but the Specialized tyres are the best in the world, so I didn’t have problems and wasn’t nervous on that dangerous descent. I stayed relaxed all day, the guys helped me the best way they could and I had strong legs. I knew Bardet was up the road and and that’s why I decided to attack. I felt I could go for the stage win, especially as I didn’t thinkt there was an interest in chasing me. Still, despite being caught, I’m glad I had this go”.

Asked by the media about the feelings he has after 19 days of racing and his place in the general classification, 29-year-old Dan made a short analysis of his race, “the time I’ve lost comes down to experience, which is something you get with learning. I’m definitely one of the best guys on the climbs here in the race, so in the winter I will work more on my time trial, because I saw that I can fight for a good overall in the Tour de France.”

Bauke Mollema “I was in second position of the peloton as there was a really tricky part coming up,” explained Mollema. “I felt good on the descent, and I followed Chérel of AG2R and then my front wheel slid away, and I was on the ground. I was quite fast back on my bike, and then this tricky part was coming up – the same as we did in the TT yesterday – with a lot of corners and there was another crash in front of me…”

“At the bottom, it had split into groups, and we were behind with a gap. Pete pulled on the flat before the climb, but I started with 20 seconds behind the first group, and so I tried to come back quickly. I knew I had to come back there or otherwise it will be more difficult, so I tried to close it as fast as possible. I couldn’t close it, and then I just exploded. I think the GC is gone. Yeah, I am still 10th, but that was not the goal for these last days.”

Nairo Quintana: “It’s almost an act of God, a miracle to be here at the finish today. I was feeling really bad – what is happening to my body is difficult to explain right now. We’ve fought a whole lot from the very start. I struggled a lot, and my team-mates helped me out immensely, they were phenomenal. Thanks to them, I’m still here, on my bike.

I feel tired, my body doesn’t work right, my legs don’t work properly. When I finish the stage, it’s like normal for me, but my body just doesn’t do things right. More than condition, I profited from my class today. Class never leaves you. At some point of the race, I even thought about withdrawing.”

Alejandro Valverde: “It wasn’t just a hard day: it was complete carnage, even more than previous stages. Before Froome and Mollema crashed, the race was already full on – Astana was pushing before those incidents and continued, which is normal. We couldn’t ride faster today. Froome had those problems, yet he’s still the strongest in this race and recovered.

To be honest, I saw the stage win so close – however, that attack by Bardet on the descent was courageous, hats off to him because the downhill was full of danger today. Tomorrow’s stage might be one for alliances between squads – Astana played it well today. I’m enjoying this race, even considering the suffering a Tour de France puts on us.

I’m enjoying every single minute of this – it’s a wonderful feeling to be able to fight so strong after a hard Giro d’Italia. I rode more calm on yesterday’s TT, not going full steam, and it really paid off today. We’ve still got some energies, yet the stage win seems out of reach for me, as I’m still close on the overall standings.”

Fabio Aru: “We made a very tough race leading the peloton the entire day and to avoid that the attackers could gain a too big margin – explained Aru on the Team Bus after the stage – “then in the final I’ve tried to attack at two km to go and I thought I could be second on the finish line, taking some seconds to my rivals for the GC… unfortunately not everyone was distanced and few of those overcame me at 600 meters to the finish line…. I’m not satisfied about my today performance because I was looking for the stage victory but I would prefer to do tomorrow evening the final balance of my Tour de France”.

Pierre Rolland (Cannondale-Drapac): “I was beginning to find new life on this Tour after my crash on the Tourmalet and then with the wet roads I slid on a curve and I didn’t have the time to brake. Both wheels went sliding. It took me a while to stand up because I was stunned. Afterwards, I got back to my senses. Now the goal is to go all the way to Paris.”

Rafal Majka: “I’m very happy because we fought as a team to conquer two jerseys, the polka dot for me and the green for Sagan. Today we’re assured of winning them, it’s a relief. The race has become very stressful as soon as it started raining. The road must have been dry for a long time and it became very slippery and dangerous.” … continued after advert
