Tamijo - Yeah, he's racing very strongly this Tour!
Ripley - It's definitely a possibility but TDF stage wins are not easy to come by.
Selwink - Exactly!
jandal7 - That's a nice objecive to keep us through the Tour!
AbhishekLFC - He'll try!
rogvi97 - Wellens is not a climber, Barguil I'm not sure, not in top shape I guess. |

 Tour de France - Stage 14
Pre-race
Team manager advised me to get in the breakaway today. There's always that chance...
The Race
But getting in breakaways isn't that easy as it sounds. There was a break of six riders, I wasn't part of it. Halfway the race I felt my legs were good today, I was over my little stomach problem and my form wasn't gone. So I could think of a backup plan!
Quickstep tried to control the pack and with 20 km to go, they quickened the pace for their sprinter.
On the little bump near the finish, I decided to accelerate. If you don't try, you never win!
I managed to get a gap. I picked up some remaining BOTD riders. Then I realized there were still some up the road. Would I catch them in time, and would I stay away from the peloton.
Coming to the finish line, I could've hit myself. Two riders were sprinting for the win of the day. I had come too late!
Geschke took the win. I stayed out of reach of the peloton to grab my second podium place. Again beating the entire peloton, but not two breakaway riders. Damn it!

This is frustrating. In a way I'm happy about my form. This is my first Tour and I'm certainly not riding an anonymous grand tour. I've proven my worth already. And still I ache for that something more.
I won't give up!

Damn, that's really unfortunate. Keep trying and that stage win may come, but it's always annoying to lose out like this.

Yeah, twice this Tour that is!
Most people don't get two chances like that in a Tour. |

Tour de France - Stage 15
Pre-race
Tomorrow is the final rest day. Time to get in the breakaways, says the manager. I am inclined to agree. But it's never that easy. However, today we finish the stage in Italy, so it'll be an extra motivation for us!
The Race
The first few kilometers my legs felt really heavy. I didn't even try to get in the breakaway, I didn't feel too well. We had a Cattelan member in the breakaway, but on that gruesome mountain he had to let his companions go.
FDJ didn't really want an easy day on the bike. The pace was brutal and the peloton ripped in many pieces.
The peloton was still 80 men large when suddenly I felt I couldn't hack the pace anymore. I was just lousy today, there's no other word for it. Is it the effect of 14 days of racing? Is it a repercussion of my aggressive riding? I have no idea, but I hope the rest day will fix it!
I let the peloton go and went up on my own, slow, pace.
Chris Froome claimed the stage and the Maillot Jaune. He's completely back, quite impressive from the Brit.
I finished 17 minutes later. Arriving in Italy, ashamed of my performance today. Fassoli and Vengust stayed with me the entire time, seeing I was having a very rough time today. I can't thank them enough!

I just want to forget about today's stage as quickly as possible. Tomorrow we have a rest day here in Italy, I have some friends in the neighborhood who might drop by for a visit. My mom and dad were also coming tomorrow, I hope that'll cheer me up.
We have one week of racing left. Let's hope they won't be like today.
Ciao

Stage14: Nice attack and great podium finish, not what Antonio wanted but a hole lot better than nothing.
Stage15: Well.....famous and established World Tour riders lost many minutes, that was just an evil monster stage.

That was a tough day. No need to be ashamed, the earlier efforts, especially in the hard stage before, will always have consequences and the time loss shouldn't matter anyway

I didn't have much time to report back to you in this last week of the Tour. Now that I'm safe and sound back in Italy, I can tell you the conclusion of my first Grand Tour.
Tour de France - Conclusion
The race to Jausiers, over the Lombarde and the Bonnette, was a true horror. I lost over 15 minutes again, but I didn't try to ride a good result, just make the time cut and try to save some energy, however unlikely that sounds on a brutal stage like that.
The next stage was the final mountain stage, and I was part of the breakaway.
The mountains are not my best friends, however. Too many strong climbers in our breakaway group and so I finished 9th.
The next day was hilly. And what did you expect? I joined the breakaway. I was getting the hang of it, now!
But the group wouldn't work together well. On the final hill, I was almost at the front. I had to be content with yet another 3rd place, though!
The next day was a flat stage. Guess what?
For the third consecutive day I was in the breakaway. Tomorrow would be the time trial and then the Champs-Elyésee. Any chance for a stage win would be today. The last one. I was desperate by now.
The group didn't work together so well. I was so afraid of being caught and seeing any chance of victory disappear. I attacked!
And I attacked again! Bakelants was the only rider to react twice.
We kept a small margin over the chasers but then with a few kilometers to go Bakelants wouldn't relay anymore. He started bluffing early. I was too desperate to let myself get caught, so I kept the pace high. I started the sprint myself from way far out, not to be surprised by the Belgian.
He was surprised. He got out of the saddle but quickly sat down again. I was powering through on sheer will power.
And then came the discharge. FINALLY!
After so many attempts and such a great Tour, this victory seems both deserved and an immense relief. I did it! I won my stage I so desperately chased for!
Stage 19: Roanne - Montlucon | 1 | Antonio Andolini | Cattelan Italia | 3h27'52 | | 2 | Jan Bakelants | Ag2r La Mondiale | + 29 | | 3 | Filippo Pozzato | Lampre-Merida | s.t. | | 4 | Simon Geschke | Team Giant-Alpecin | + 52 | | 5 | Florian Vachon | BMC Racing Team | s.t. | | 6 | Alexander Kristoff | Team Katusha | s.t. | | 7 | Bryan Coquard | Team Europcar | s.t. | | 8 | John Degenkolb | MTN-Qhubeka | s.t. | | 9 | Mark Cavendish | Team Sky | s.t. | | 10 | Luka Mezgec | MTN-Qhubeka | s.t. |
I finished the time trial with a lot of the adrenaline still in my body from the day before. A sixth place!
Stage 20 | C | Chris Froome | Team Sky | 1h00'49 | | 2 | Tony Martin | Etixx - Quick-step | + 17 | | 3 | Alberto Contador | Team Cannondale - Garmin | + 19 | | 4 | Rohan Dennis | BMC Racing Team | + 30 | | 5 | Tejay Van Garderen | BMC Racing Team | + 41 | | 6 | Antonio Andolini | Cattelan Italia | + 45 | | 7 | Michal Kwiatkowski | Team Sky | + 50 | | 8 | Richie Porte | Team Sky | + 52 | | 9 | Adriano Malori | Cattelan Italia | + 54 | | 10 | Jan Barta | Cattelan Italia | + 57 |
By now, Pinot was in yellow, with Quintana in second and Froome third. The time trial saw the French rider lose his lead to the Brit. The Colombian was pushed off the podium by a Dutchman, my future team mate Mollema
And then, Paris!
With my stage win in the bag, we decided to give one more push for Fontana, our sprinter. Kudos to him for surviving this Tour, he's no climber by far! Our sprint train wasn't bad at all, if I say so myself!
And then the sprint...
So close, but a great effort nonetheless.
And that was our Tour de France. I'm very proud to call myself a Tour de France stage winner. My debut Grand Tour was a success and I'm looking forward to riding the next one! Although next time I'll take a look which Tour has the least high mountains. Those things are nowhere as fun as they seem on tv.
Ciao
Antonio

Surely one of the best non-climber's first GT's ever. |

Selwink - It sure was!
sutty68 - Let's hope so. It has been a good experience.
FonsDeSpons - Appreciate it. Hope you'll keep enjoying the story
Ripley - I agree!
Tamijo - First two weeks were very good but that stage win really topped it of!
Raziz - Definitely not a bad debut GT. But there have been even more impressive ones by specialists both in mountains and sprinters!
Thanks for the comments!
It's interesting and somewhat difficult riding a GT as a non-specialist in either climbing or sprinting. It makes it harder for riders like Antonio to win stages, but happy to have one. |
