There is no more TT, only mountains and hills!


Impossible to lose then, as he is far superior in both the mountains and the hills.

With Contador closing the gap to 32s, means there is going to be a fight to the finish Wink

I think Andy can handle the lead. Smile

Stage 15

After 5 dull stages, we enter the Alps in stage 15. The first half of the 197 kilometres between Vienne and Grenoble is easy, but the 2nd half features 3 climbs: the Col du Cucheron, the Col de Port and finally the Chamrousse, with the summit 30km before the finish.

89km to go
The peloton doesn't let 1 single breakaway ride away, as the goal is to start the first climb with all riders together, so all of them can finish inside the limit. Early in the ascend if the Col du Cucheron (8.1km at 6.0%), Brice Feillu from the Saur - Sojasun team attacks. He arrives solo at the summit with a gap of 2'44 to the peloton.

76km to go
The peloton is also taking it easy during the 2nd climb of the day, the Col de Port (7.6km at 6.5%). As a result, Feillu can increase his lead to 7 minutes. In between, at 5'10 ride Sylvain Chavanel, Fabian Cancellara and Rein Taaramäe.

46km to go
The ascend of the last, and most difficult, climb of the day has begun, the Chamrousse (18.8km at 6.9%, alt. 1730m). Feillu is leading Cancellara, Chavanel and Taaramäe by 4 minutes and the peloton by over 9. This is the moment for Joaquím Rodríguez and Nicholas Roche to attack out of the peloton. They will be countered by Steven Kruijswijk.

30km to go
Feillu arrives at the summit with a margin of 5'12 to the 3 chasers, and can ride the descend safely to win the stage. Kruijswijk, Roche and Rodríguez follow at 6'03, and anothe threesome, with Intxausti, LL Sánchez and Spilak at 7'18. The peloton follows at 7'55.
img221.imageshack.us/img221/9116/430km.jpg

9km to go
With the stage win out of sight, we try to prevent attacks at the GC-lead to occur, by setting a high pace in the descend, with success.
img171.imageshack.us/img171/6092/59km.jpg

Finish
After a safely ridden descend, Brice Feillu has enough time to celebrate his 2nd Tour de France stage win in his career. 4'28 behind him, Chavanel wins the sprint for the 2nd place, beating Taaramäe and Cancellara. Kruijswijk, Roche and Rodríguez follow at 5'56, Sánchez, Kreuziger, Intxausti and Spilak at 6'57 and the AG2R-duo Gadret and Kadri at 7'11.
img839.imageshack.us/img839/9066/6finish.jpg

Robert Gesink did a great job setting a pace that high, none of the GC-contenders could attack. The peloton finishes 7'36 behind Feillu, with Andy Schleck taking the 15th place.

Today's winner
img207.imageshack.us/img207/7055/9feillu.jpg

Word from the DS
And this was the 8 win by a breakaway in 13 stages (not counting the 2 TT's). I must say, we don't mind it happens, as long we don't loose time.

Great riding from Gesink today to make sure Andy stays in the leaders jersey Wink

Great ride from the team to control the race.

Too bad Gesink has to make sacrifices for Andy, although it's the right thing to do Wink

Yes, it was up to who was the best in the GC before the Alps, now it is clear....

3 mountain stages remaining... are you going to control Contador or Andy will try to increase the gap?

Great TdF by now!

Stage 16

Although classified as a hilly stage, stage 16 from Grenoble to La Mure is one of the most difficult ones in this Tour de France. The road is going up and down for the entire 168 kilometres, with the finish 1km after the summit of the dreadful steep La Mure, with peak gradients to 14%.
img256.imageshack.us/img256/9862/stage16.jpg
img253.imageshack.us/img253/4953/lamure.jpg

146km to go
With the goal of Jelle Vanendert collecting the maximum amount of points at the summit of the first climb of the day, Les Michalons, we set a high pace to prevent breakaways to occur. And with succes, as the polka dot-wearer collects the full 10 points.
img31.imageshack.us/img31/4543/1146km.jpg

93km to go
After the summit, we drop the pace and the waiting starts before attacks to occur. The first to do so is Astana's Roman Kreuziger. The Czech, who has a bad Tour so far thanks to crashes, is the first one to arrive at the summit of the Col de Rousset. The peloton follows at 6 minutes here.
img442.imageshack.us/img442/5959/293km.jpg

43km to go
With the Radio Shack-guys doing th epace of the peloton, the gap to Kreuziger slowly decreases to 4'22 at the summit of the Col de Grimone. This warns us that Vincenzo Nibali must have a great day.
img502.imageshack.us/img502/9742/343km.jpg

21km to go
We got a feeling about it, but now the French tv-director has seen it to: Robert Gesink is struggling a lot today. He has been dropped, returned to the first peloton, but is about to get dropped again. We don't know what is wrong with him, he told us that his legs are empty....
img443.imageshack.us/img443/4459/421km.jpg

12km to go
Being the best descender in this peloton, Vincenzo Nibali attacks in the descend towards the foot of La Mure. It surprises us a bit, and he quickly creates a gap together with Fabio Duarte. Ths happens 3'52 behind Kreuziger.
img411.imageshack.us/img411/1857/512km.jpg

5km to go
Nibali and Duarte are joined by Fränk Schleck at the foot of the last climb to La Mure (4.7km at 6.9%, max 15%). The 3 have a '32 gap to the peloton, with Jelle Vanendert working his ass off for maillot jaune Andy Schleck.
img577.imageshack.us/img577/5328/65km.jpg

4km to go
After 1 kilometre of climbing, Nibali attacks again! Only Fränk can follow the Sicilian. As a result, they have decreased the gap to Kreuziger to 2'14 so even the stage win is within reach. The 2 also have created a margin of '37 to their opponents.
img193.imageshack.us/img193/5775/74km.jpg

3km to go
Andy Schleck decides that is had been enough playtime for Nibbles, and counterattacks. But at this time, he's already '54 behind the Sicilian and his older brother. Contador is still in the first peloton, '25 behind Andy. And Gesink? He has been dropped, unfortunately...
img571.imageshack.us/img571/5439/83km.jpg

1km to go
Entering the last kilometre, Nibali has caught poor Roman. It's amazing to see that Nibali is out of the saddle for 3 kilometres now, trying to blast away the opposition.
Fränk is '13 behind, while Andy is closing the gap to '33! The group Contador follows at 1'12.
img443.imageshack.us/img443/3887/91km.jpg

Finish
But Vincenzo Nibali was unstoppable at La Mure and takes his first stage win this year. Kreuziger and Fränk finish at '12, Andy at '26 and a big group including Gilbert, Contador, Vanendert and Duarte at '59. For Robert Gesink, it has been a black day, as he finishes 3'32 behind Nibali and dropping from 4th to 7th in the GC.

Today's winner

Word from the DS
What an amazing strong effort by Nibali! Luckily, ANdy is still in yellow, but nothing has been decided yet. And we really don't know what is wrong with Gesink, as he suffered a lot today. Hopefully he will recover before tomorrow's mountain stage (with the Lautaret, the Izoard and finish at Risoul 1850), so he can help Andy maintaining the yellow.

C'mon Andy, don't lose it now. Nibali was too strong in this stage.
 
JSF
Interesting Tour!

And for me it is also surprise, that Kreuziger will ride for Europcar. Can you upload here image with his stats? Thanks and Good Luck to Andy!
 
Ian Butler
Well, Gesink isn't important anymore right now, with such a threatening Nibali, Andy's your biggest concern. He can actually win this!

Strange transfer indeed, don't know if I'm going to edit it or not....

@ IanButler: yes, Nibali, but both he and Contador are close behind. Andy has got 2 of the better climbers to serve as a luxury helper, hopefully it is enough to win the Tour (thanks to tha massive crash....)

Despite Nibali winning, Andy gained 6 more seconds :lol:

Stage 17

Today we have the shortest stage (not counting the ITT's) in this Tour de France, with only 119 kilometres. But it features 4063 height metres! Immediately after the start the Col du Lautaret (29.7km at 4.4%), followed by the Col d'Izoard (19.6km at 5.4%, alt. 2367m) and the finish in/at Risoul 1850 (13.5km at 7.2%). Help......
img29.imageshack.us/img29/9524/stage17.jpg
img51.imageshack.us/img51/1125/risoul1850.jpg

113km to go
Having lost a big amount of time earlier in this Tour, despite being a podium-contender, Jurgen Van den Broeck knows that the only way to succes is to take a stage win. He decides not to wait for the last climb, but to make an early attack. Early in the descend of the Col du Lautaret, he attacks and gets joined by Beñat Intxausti (Euskaltel).
img88.imageshack.us/img88/8526/1113km.jpg

88km to go
Van den Broeck and Intxausti get accompanied by another Euskaltel-rider (Pierre Cazaux) and AG2R's Nicholas Hartmann. The peloton has taken it very, very eay, as it follows at 7'26!
img525.imageshack.us/img525/6676/288km.jpg

55km to go
The second, and penultimate, climb of the day is the Col d'Izoard. The peloton has increased it's pace in the long descend of the Lautaret and is now 4'26 behind the 4 leaders. Ath this moment, only after a few kilometres of the Izoard, a group of 5 riders attacks out of the peloton: Richie Porte is the initiator, followed by Ryder Hesjedal, Luis Leon Sánchez, John Gadret and Roman Kreuziger.
img254.imageshack.us/img254/3415/355km.jpg

41km to go
At the summit of the Col d'Izoard, at an altitude of 2367 metres, a nive overview can be given about the current situation:
Ryder Hesjedal has caught up with the leading group and is first to crest the summit, joined by Intxausti, Van den Broeck and Cazaux, while Hartmann gets dropped shortly before the summit. Gadret follows at 1'15, Kreuziger, Sánchez and Porte at 1'45 and the 55-man peloton at 3'55.
img17.imageshack.us/img17/2826/441km.jpg

13km to go
The peloton, with Radio Shack and Monster Energy doing the pace, starts the last climb of the day 3'30 behind the leading group. The climb to Risoul 1850 is the shortest one (13.5km) of the day, but the steepest one (7.2%).
img841.imageshack.us/img841/7756/513km.jpg

10km to go
IN a desperate attempt to shake off his fellow stage-leaders, Beñat Intxausti attacks with little over 10km to go. Is he the strongest, or is it a foolish attempt and he gets paid for a little later? The peloton follows at 3'19 here.
img255.imageshack.us/img255/5587/610km.jpg

6km to go
In the first half of the climb, Jelle Vanendert serves as the main helper of Andy Schleck. Halfway up the climb, the Belgian gives over to Robert Gesink. Still, no attacks have occurred out of this first peloton. Nevertheless, the gap to the leaders stays big, 3'01. These leaders are..... Van den Broeck and Hesjedal. Yes, Intxausti has met the man with the hammer and pays for his wasted energy.
img560.imageshack.us/img560/8452/76km.jpg

3km to go
And there goes Contador! With 3km to go (and 2'58 behind the 2 leaders), GC's number 3 Alberto Contador attacks with th egoal of regaining the time he lost at La Mure yesterday. Andy Schleck counters immediately, despite having a mediocre day (form 0). Gesink moves over to the left side of the road, with Duarte and especially Nibali trying to counter.
img267.imageshack.us/img267/5439/83km.jpg

Finish
Jurgen Van den Broeck and Ryder Hesjedal make it a sprint-a-deux, with the Belgian being the strongest. This way, Van den Broeck makes up a bit for his disastrous Tour.
img705.imageshack.us/img705/7663/9finish.jpg

2'32 behind Van den Broeck (meaning he lost only '47 in the final climb, being in the attack for 100km!!), Alberto Contador finishes in 3rd place, and having created a gap 0f 9 seconds to Nibali and Schleck. This won't bring him the maillot jaune, but at least he tries!
Gesink finishes in 20th place at 3'57. 13 riders finish outside the time limit and can go home 4 days before the Champs d'Élysée, among them Juan Antonio Flecha, stage winner Tyler Farrar and Niki Terpstra.

Word from the DS
One more mountain stage done, only one more to go. But that's the queen's stage with 5 climbs and a finish at the Col de Lombarde.... First a flat stage tomorrow.

Ian Butler
Contador still wants to play Grin
 
FreitasPCM
Things are still pretty open. Hope Andy holds to that lead and Monster takes their first Grand Tour of the year!
