Today brings the longest stage of the Tour at a whopping 247.3km! Usually these long stages cutting across country are completely flat but today’s stage brings something different. The finish is actually fairly tough. There are two climbs within the final 7km. The first of these is the 4.1km Rue de Bellac but that is mostly gentle as it only averages 2.5% (though it gets steeper at the top) and then there is a short descent to the final 1.9km long Rue de Fraud, which is about 5% the entire way to the top. At the top lies the finish line. So those climbs are tough but perhaps not tough enough to really deal with all of the sprinters. Here is what the final kilometres look like:
Our first attack in the morning comes from Ronan Van Zandbeek. The Dutch rider is a strong rouleur and because his team doesn’t have a sprinter here, this seems like a good opportunity for him to show himself in the biggest race of the year.
The others who are giving it a go today are: Michael Faerk Christensen Koldo Gil Florian Stalder Lucas Schädlich Roman Kreuziger Nathan Haas Jan Ghyselinck Jakub Danacik Niki Terpstra Rick Zabel Benoit Vaugrenard Mathieu Bernaudeau Martin Mortensen Olivier Kaisen Ramon Sinkeldam Ruben Zepuntke Pieter Ghyllebert
Of these the following five form our break of the day: Michael Faerk Christensen Florian Stalder Lucas Schädlich Jan Ghyselinck Niki Terpstra
Of these riders Christensen is the best placed, being only 22” down in 5th place. Perhaps he is looking to move up in the overall? Either way, if the break manages to stay away, he would be guaranteed yellow.
The work early on is done by a variety of teams. Simply Red Bull are here for Juan Van Heerden. Pendleton’s are defending yellow, Wikipedia clearly expect something from Matt Goss and finally Lotto are either working for Gerald Ciolek or possibly one of their several puncheurs.
We get to the only interesting feature of the day before the finishing climbs. With 132km remaining the break sprint for the time bonuses and points. Christensen takes them in a tight sprint ahead of Ghyselinck, with Terpstra in third. The lead is out to 9’18” but fatigue may start to set in.
With 50km remaining we move on to the final clump of hills that will take us towards the finish. None of them are categorised or even particularly hard. The lead is down to 3’32” and the teams working are Simply Red Bull, Puma – SAP and Wikipedia. Clearly some of the stronger sprinters are feeling that they can take this one out.
The lead is down to 1’03” with 20km remaining and the pace is high. The constant up-and-down nature of the course is taking its toll and we get our first significant crash of hte race. The following five riders go down with 12km to go: Vadim Ratiy Marcel Barth Pim Ligthart Jaroslav Kulhavy Cameron Meyer
Obviously this spells disaster for wildcard team VolksWagen, who were relying on Ratiy to provide them with a decent GC spot. Hopefully he won’t be badly injured and can strike out for a stage later.
With the gap down under 30” with 10km to go Ghyselinck, Stalder and Christensen try their chances and put in an attack.
Of course this is just delaying the inevitable and only a couple of kilometres later they are caught by Sebastian Minard, setting things up for Daniele Bennati.
The second last hill starts. It is much more gentle at the start but with about 4km to go to the finishing line Simply Red Bull are swarming near the front. The road ramps up slightly here near the top of the climb. Their sprint train is: Facci Jelloul Van Heerden Goss Ciolek Mohs Impey
Facci leads over the top and then comes off during the descent, so Jelloul leads out onto the final 1.9km climb. Remember that it is about 5% most of the way up.
With 1100 metres to go Van Heerden launches his sprint. Goss and Ciolek are still there with him. He is a better climber than either of them on paper, but has he gone too early?
These three get a gap over the rest of the sprinters, as Mohs finds the climb too tough. One man not left behind, however is Ponzi, who puts in a huge acceleration and is coming quickly with 600 metres to go. He still has ground to make up.
Goss pulls ahead with 400 to the line, but Ponzi is still coming quickly.
And just like that Simone Ponzi takes his first win of the season, and he could not have picked a better occasion!
Goss takes second, showing for the first time this race that he is amongst the best sprinters. Ciolek climbs out of his skin to take the final podium place. Van Heerden faded to fourth but his team could well still be happy with that. Impey was unfortunate in choosing the wheel of Mohs but still takes a decent fifth. Oss uses his puncheur skills to take sixth and the same can be said about Simon in seventh. Van Avermaet once more contributes a top ten with his eighth place. Granjel Cabrera found the hill to tough and can only take ninth while the race leader Faiers shows his strength by taking tenth.
But what’s this? A gap has opened up in the final climb!
And some teams will be unhappy as they see the riders who have lost time: Janez Brajkovic Romain Sicard Sergio Henao Igor Anton Bernhard Kohl David Abal
All up only 63 riders are in the first group today, with the second group losing 1’41”. In the end the crash cost Ratiy a total of 6’18”, likely taking him well out of top ten contention. Meanwhile in terms of jerseys obviously there are no changes in yellow, but Wiggins is now the only other Pendleton’s rider in the top ten with Ponzi now 11” down. Guerao managed 12th today to Bennati’s 15th and the 2 extra points ensure that the Spaniard will be wearing green tomorrow which once again show what a brilliant race this has been for him.
