The last 4 categorised climbs of the race are finally here on the 122km stage 19! We have the category 2 Alto de El Cordal to start us off, the three category 1 climbs – the Alto de la Cobertoria, the Puerto de San Lorenzo and finally the Puerto de Somiendo which peaks 11km before the finish, 9km of which is a descent. There is a total of 42km of climbing, so let’s get straight into it!
It is appropriate that the first attack of the day comes from Wilco Kelderman. He has already been in four breaks so far this race and thus is someone who has truly kept things interesting. He will also be looking to add to his 32 mountain points to get some more ranking points for his team.
Remarkably he is joined by five riders and everyone seems happy with this first attack, giving us an instant break of the day consisting of the Kelderman and the following five riders: Jocelin Maillet (58 mtn points) Damniao Caruso (26 mtn points) Darwin Atapuma (6 mtn points) Woet Poels Amael Moinard
Interestingly Maillet is the only person who can possible stop Oste-MacDonald from winning the mountain jersey, but he has to win every single summit to do it.
The relatively easy Alto de El Cordal is the first up and the break concentrate on expanding their gap. But Maillet does not attack at the top! Clearly he is just looking to save his energy for a potential stage win, which would grant him even more ranking points than the difference between first and second in the mountain competition. Still, his manager may not be pleased with that choice. Poels takes his first 10 points here.
The second climb of the day is the Alto de la Cobertoria. It is a tough climb which is consistently around the 8% mark without any huge spikes in gradient. The gap between the two groups is at 6’05” and Maillet does the work most of the way up in the break, that is until we reach the summit. Atapuma rolls over in first ahead of Poels and then Maillet. He really just doesn’t care about that jersey, though he is basically guaranteed second place at this point.
Back in the pack a lot of riders are hurting but Santander aren’t going to raise the pace just too high yet. As such with 1.5km still to go to the summit, and just over 80km to the finish line, some well-placed riders take matters into their own hands. The following riders attack: Robin van der Hugenhaben (19th) Martin Hacecky (20th) David De la Fuente (22nd)
Remarkably by the summit they have pulled out 1’37” on the bunch, but they are still another 8’50” down on the break, who could well be looking at yet another win. The only matter of interest on the decent is that Teklehaimanot falls.
As Maillet leads though the sprint point with 64km remaining, the break’s gap over the attackers is holding at about 8’32”, but those riders now have 3’08” on the peloton, making them a dangerous group. Remember that Van der Hugenhaben is only 9’59” down on GC.
Perhaps sensing that some of the lower GC positions are under threat here Heineken and Venchi both start working and help Santander to set the pace. In fact the gap soon gets to the point where these riders would enter the top ten and so Pokerstars start working too to defend Rujano’s tenth place.
Next up we have the immensely tough Puerto de San Lorenzo. This is arguably the toughest climb in the entire race, with some sections holding above 11% for over a kilometre, with the climb averaging around the 9% mark.
Now the pace in the peloton is a bit more serious. Santander start to set a more difficult pace and we get out first riders dropped – 54 of them in one go!
Up front they are far enough ahead that they reach the summit with the peloton still at a mid-way point. And remarkably as Moinard crests first Van der Hugenhaben, Hacecky and De la Fuente are just behind them! Also the weather has started to turn a bit sour and rain is threatening.
And over the top in the pack we get some real drama as the bunch splits! Only 66 riders make the first cut and several well-placed riders are in the second group now! Missing the cut are: Daniel Martin (9th) Ryan Eastman (16th) Dominique Nerz (26th) Mwangi Samwel (29th)
Eastman is the closest to the front of this group and he sets the pace to try to defend his borrowed white jersey as the best non-Tenorio youth rider. He has another 26 men around him, but not too many domestiques.
Up front the chasers catch the break and join them as the descent to our final climb ends. The lead is still out to 10’39” and so in fact Robin van der Hugenhaben is the provisional leader of the Vuelta a Espana!
The final climb of this entire race, the Puerto de Somiendo, is longer than it is hard. It averages around 6% and hasn’t got any really steep sections except for one 9% section near the base. Then, as said, there is an 11km descent to the finish line. Before this climb can even start it is clear that there are some tired legs and that the pace is really high – Santander drop another 14 riders. We are now down to 49 riders.
The gap between the two pelotons is now at 2 minutes and some are keen to push on, particularly with 9th place Martin still behind (and it is worth remembering that his team had a top 10 as a race goal). They still have to narrow the gap to the break, however, who are still 9’14” ahead. This means that Tenorio is back to provisional leader but several of those riders could move into the top 10.
As we hit the little foothill before the climb it is clear that things aren’t slowing down! In fact we get our first major favourites attacking! Machado is the first to launch. Ricco and Rujano follow him! Just to add to the tension the rain is now belting down.
Schleck is the next to bridge up and he is keen to push this on, but Valls puts in a strong effort to bring all four riders back.
We hit the base of the climb and straight away it is the steepest part of the climb. Schleck is clearly feeling good as he launches another attack!
He gets a 40” gap and already the peloton is shredded down to just 29 riders. Sensing a real opportunity here Rujano, Uran and Ricco try to bridge up to him.
This time it is Machado who shuts these three down but he doesn’t want to keep everything calm. He jumps onto the back wheel of Ricco, who launches another bridging attempt to get up to Schleck! These three now have a 24” gap on the peloton, which has only 22 riders now!
Up front, meanwhile, Van der Hugenhaben is doing a lot of the pace-setting, clearly wanting to keep a top ten place. This causes Kelderman and Caruso to drop out of the break.
Denifl is under pressure here to defend his position against Schleck. He tries to bridge up but he can’t quite make it and sits in no-man’s land.
The peloton behind him, meanwhile is down to just 13 riders: Tenorio, Valls, Lopez Garcia Rujano Contador Uran Nibali Valverde Duarte Schwab Panayotov Plaza Guldhammer
25th overall Schwab is putting in a huge ride here! But that list means that 11th overall Sanchez has been dropped! He could be overtaken by Plaza, Valls and possibly even Duarte here! He looks unhappy as he tries to claw some time back.
Denifl manages to get up to the three other attackers but Tenorio claws the group back just as this happens.
Up front there are only 5 riders left. Van der Hugenhaben, Hacecky and De la Fuente are all still here and riding into better GC positions while Maillet and Poels are here just to compete for the stage win.
For some reason Van der Hugenhaben attacks for the mountain points while De la Fuente and Hacecky follow him. They sit up over the top and let the other two rejoin to help work with them.
With 1km of climbing left in this race Rujano rolls the dice as the snow falls mixed with the rain. Nibali jumps on his back wheel with the first sign of life for this stage and then Uran is just behind them.
Machado controls this movement, not wanting Uran to get away and threaten his fourth place.
But with 500 metres to the summit Nibali now really goes for it, bringing Uran along with him. He gets a decent gap!
These two go over the top 5’52” down on the break and then the next group is about 40” behind them... and Tenorio isn’t here! That’s right a group has got a gap on the race leader in the final 500 metres of climbing in this race! The people here are: Schleck Ricco Rujano Denifl Contador Machado
Another 20” later and the next two riders cross – Plaza and Duarte! Tenorio isn’t here either!
Tenorio now crosses the line just behind these two with the handful of riders who hadn’t attacked away. Nibali puts his descending skills to good use! He starts the day 1’12” down on Tenorio, but what are the time gaps?
With 9km to go here are the gaps:
31"
8"
25"
15"
Nibali
--->
Machado
--->
Ricco
--->
Plaza
--->
Gr. Tenorio
Uran
Contador
Duarte
Schleck
Denifl
Rujano
That’s 1’19”, so Nibali is the provisional leader by the slimmest of margins! Santander lost the Giro by bare seconds, is the same thing about to happen?
Some good news for one team as it looks like Daniel Martin has managed to claw his way back on to the group of the current race leader! What a great climb by him. Tenorio manages to bring back Plaza and Duarte now. He has to pull out a career-defining performance here.
The dropped Caruso and Kelderman are now caught by Nibali and Uran (or more correctly, Nibali catches them). Not only that but Machado descends like an absolute madman in the wet to catch the back of this group too.
The decent starts to flatten out a bit and Nibali is trying to push on without any help from the others here. With 5km to go we get another time check:
27”
21”
Gr. Nibali
--->
Gr. Contador
--->
Gr. Tenorio
Tenorio has put in a huge effort here and Nibali is no longer provisional leader.
The break come to the banner and Van der Hugenhaben, who has been doing a lot of the pacing, leads out the group. Their lead is close to 5 minutes.
And remarkably Robin van der Hugenhaben holds on for a well-deserved stage win! That’s his second win of the race, as he also took stage 9 from a break. The 20 bonus seconds are going to come in handy too as he could well be moving a fair way up the standings. Hacecky takes second with the other mid-stage attacker De la Fuente in third. Both of them will also move up nicely tonight. Maillet and Poels are 4th and 5th respectively, while the dropped Moinard and Atapuma take 6th and 7th a couple of minutes later.
Nibali is clearly struggling much more on the flat compared to the descent and so his group is caught by the group of Contador. The group of Tenorio is still about 25” behind.
With Tenorio at about 25” the gap starts growing again... Nibali has launched his sprint and instantly gets several bike lengths on everyone else!
Tenorio catches the group of Nibali... or at least the one where he used to be, as he now has a solid gap with under a kilometre left!
And the Italian crosses the line for 8th, 4’29” down on today’s winner. Contador is behind him and rather cruelly the race officials declare that there will be no gaps in this entire group today, so everyone from Nibali in 8th to Valls in 25th will get the same time. Tenorio’s crisis is over and his manager can take a deep breath again.
We get 5 riders withdrawing today, reducing us to 184. Sadly it seems that Teklehaimanot’s fall seriously hurt him so he couldn’t make it to the end. Also worth noting that Merino Criado and Vanderaerden would have been at least competitive for a top ten in the final two stages.
So let’s have a look at the GC. It looked like we were going to get a huge shake-up when the riders crested that final summit, but in the end the top 8 riders remain the same and moving into ninth is Van der Hugenhaben, which will surely go down as one of the least expected GT results this year. Hackecky moves from 20th to 14th, another big surprise, while De la Fuente moves up to 17th. There were numerous losers today; most of them were the riders who missed that initial third of the peloton that went on to contest the overall. Guldhammer put in a solid individual chase on the descent to only lose one spot to 19th. Eastman, on the other hand, plummets from 16th to 21st. Sanchez, who couldn’t keep up on the final climb, goes from 11th down to 15th, which is unfortunate for him.
Now as for the other jerseys the fight for the points jersey is still very much alive! Tenorio’s team not pulling back breaks means that Holloway is only 29 points behind him – definitely a closable gap with the two flat stages that follow. With no mountain points left to award Oste-MacDonald is confirmed as our mountain jersey winner, assuming he finishes. Finally, in the team classification, thanks largely to Maillet being in the break, Pearl Adidas have moved into the lead in the competition by just 49 seconds.
