Today brings us the first of two transitional stages as we travel from Montepellier to Toulouse. It is 221.5km in length and while it isn’t totally flat, with four category climb spaced out over the course, it is still tipped to end in a sprint finish. The end of the course is interesting, however, as we have a long flat period and then two small uncategorised climbs inside the final 17km.
So the question is this – will the climbs drop any riders or will it just affect the ability of some to sprint? Daniele Bennati will surely be looking to add to his stage win earlier in the race but as Oscar Guerao has already showed the Italian is looking very beatable this season. Not only that but riders like Erik Mohs will be keen to make up for a disappointing race so far. In addition to this final climb the riders will have to compete with strong winds.
The first attack of the day comes from Pieter Ghyllebert. Thanks to his attack on stage six he has 24 mountain points already and with the 24 on offer today he could move into the lead if he wins every mountain prime.
Of course his job is made much more complex by the extraordinary number of people wanting to join the break. They are: Nick Kinney Oliver Kaisen Florian Stalder Jan Ghyselinck Ramon Sinkeldam Jakub Danacik Benoit Vaugrenard Thomas De Gendt Bradley Wiggins Dmitri Grabovski Sep Vanmarcke Tim Kennaugh Ronan Van Zandbeek Timothy Vangheel Aidis Kruopis Anders Lund Adil Jelloul Roman Kreuziger Koen De Kort Brent Bookwalter Nathan Haas Jesse Sergent Oscar Fraile Martin Mortensen Rafaa Chtioui Adriano Malori Mikhail Ignatiev Koldo Gil Lars Petter Nordhaug Phan Age Haugard
The break is still struggling to form when suddenly we get news that Angel Madrazo is behind the peloton! What’s happened? Oh... wait... it looks like it is just a flat tire! His team wait for him and they bring the race favourite back but that is surely a moment of panic. No doubt people will wonder if he has burned some unnecessary energy here.
The break is still forming over the top of the first climb and here Ignatiev goes over first ahead of Grabovski and Vangheel. They have under a minute on the bunch though so their day out front is far from guaranteed.
As it happens the fight does go out of the bunch at this point and two more riders join these three to form our break of five. The others are Ronan Van Zandbeek and Benoit Vaugrenard. No one here is a real threat to any of the jerseys.
Having won the first climb Ignatiev decides that he is interested in the maximum of 24 points on offer today after all and attacks to take the second climb’s prize. Vaugrenard is second over ahead of Van Zandbeek. The gap is still at a fairly small 3’11” but it is steadily growing.
The gap isn’t growing too quickly, however, and that’s largely thanks to the efforts of four different teams. Team B&O are working for the race leader while Festina, Puma and Pokerstars are all working for their sprinters.
As we hit the summit o the long but truly unchallenging third climb, with 107km to go, Ignatiev once again attacks for the points. Grabovski rolls over in second place ahead of Van Zandbeek. The gap is at 6’34” now and already starting to come down. The pack has been at a high pace almost all day and that may be dangerous in this heavy wind.
Not much more happens between this climb and the final one, where once again Ignatiev attacks away. Vaugrenard leads the rest of the break over and then Grabovski is just behind him. The difference is that now, with 50km to go, the gap is only 2’59”.
The pace continues with the same four teams working, though eventually B&O stop and allow the sprinting teams to take over completely. With 16.8km remaining we hit the first of the two uncategorised climbs in the finale of the stage. The gap is only at 50”. This climb is almost 3% the entire way up but hits about 5% near the summit.
After about 200km of racing this proves too much for the break and the fight goes out of them on this rise. Geert Steurs makes the catch almost at the summit. Now the race will carry on to the flat then drop down to another short climb before the descent to the finish.
But it looks like not everyone will make it together as we have some riders at the back who have crashed! The riders are: Terciado Basso Stalder Brandt (28th overall)
In addition Matteo Cattaneo can’t get back onto his bike and things are looking bad – he has to abandon the race thanks to his injuries.
But the bunch isn’t slowing and with 5.7km to go they hit the final climb. This one is 1.7km long and has a maximum of 6% and an average around the 4% mark. It is harder but if you can get over it in a good position then the fast descent will take you to the one kilometre mark. Being in a good position is key here. Mikael Delage is the first rider to hit the climb.
And up teh climb all three of the major sprinting teams work to keep their leaders to teh front. At the summit it seems that all three have managed to set up trains!
Those trains are:
Left train: Dupont Dumoulin Mohs
Middle train: Sinner Lavoine Guerao
Right train: Kvist Gasparotto Bennati
Kvist does a great job to pull his train even with the other two. Meanwhile Van Avermaet joins the Pokerstars train. Castaneda moves onto Bennati’s wheel Vanderbeist and Ciolek follow the Colombian sprinter. Granjel Cabrera is on the right too, but can’t pick a train.
With 1.6km to go and the descent almost over all three trains go to their final lead-out man. Lavoine starts with a slight disadvantage to the other two. We are about to hit the flat under the final kite.
We now get a report of a fall in the middle of the bunch, which really stretches things out. The riders affected are: Claerebout (his second fall in two days) Vastaranta Vangheel Haas Zabel Zepunkte
But all eyes are on the front as Lavoine pulls Guerao ahead of the other two. On the left Van Avermaet decides to launch his sprint.
With 700 metres to go all three of the big name sprinters come out from behind their final lead-out man and make their push for the line. Mohs is behind the other two, who start their sprint almost neck-and-neck.
With 400 metres to go it is still close between Guerao and Bennati. Not only that but Mohs is actually moving the fastest of the three!
With 200 metres to go it is a three way fight.
But Oscar Guerao holds on to take his second stage of this year’s Tour de France! He really owes this to Lavoine, who set him up perfectly.
It is an absolute photo finish for second place but Mohs beats Bennati by only an inch to take a very strong second place. He showed today that he has what it takes to fight with the best in the sprints. Bennati will be disappointed with his third place and will want to take the stage win tomorrow to make his trip here worth it.
Granjel Cabrera is the best of the rest in fourth place, a very strong result. Ciolek puts in a great ride for fifth, showing the importance of positioning over the final climb. Castaneda gives VolksWagen something to cheer for with his sixth place. Vanderbiest is in seventh while Van Avermaet went too early and faded to eighth. Gasparotto held his speed to the end for ninth and finally Bonnet rounds out the top ten.
But it turns out with the high speed winds, the final climb and the crash in the middle of the bunch 97 riders were dropped off the back. Unfortunately there are some important names here. Out of the top thirty overall the following lost 1’25” today: Brajkovic Pedraza Valls Abal Anton Costagli
This results in Brajkovic dropping to eleventh and Faiers moving back into the top ten at his expense. That’s the only change in the top ten. In the points jersey, Ponzi could only score 2 points today, perhaps as a result of his exertions yesterday, but that is enough to ensure that he still has a 4 point lead over Guerao. The Italian will have to perform much better tomorrow if he doesn’t want to lose his green jersey, however.
