The second of the translational stages is up today with the 182km long stage concluding in the famous Pyrenean town of Pau. The day is far from simple, however, as we have four category four climbs clumped together in the middle of the race with numerous uncategorised rises between them. It remains to be seen how hard this will make things, however. The finish today should be another quick one with a long and gentle descent through almost the entire finish.
So will Guerao take a third stage win today, will Bennati get revenge after yesterday, will Mohs continue with the sort of form he showed on stage ten or will someone new entirely take the win?
Alternatively it may well be one for the breakaway and the first man to take a gamble on this is Nick Kinney.
Lots of others are looking for the break today, as always, and their names are:
Bradley Wiggins
Thomas Frei
Thomas De Gendt
Sebastian Moinard
Jan Ghyselinck
Jack Bauer
Oliver Kaisen
Adil Jelloul
Sep Vanmarcke
Adriano Malori
Lars Petter Nordhaug
Anders Lund
Mauro Facci
Rafaa Chtioui
Peter Kennaugh
Dion Beukboom
Jesse Sergent
Nathan Haas
Koen De Kort
Pieter Ghyllebert (27 mountain points)
Koldo Gil (21 mountain points)
Roman Kreuziger (4 mountain points)
And from these we have four riders forming the break of the day:
Thomas De Gendt
Adil Jelloul
Koen De Kort
Pieter Ghyllebert
It is interesting to note that Ghyllebert was allowed to get into this break. With his 27 mountain points and the maximum of 20 on offer today he could take over the mountain competition, at least until tomorrow’s mountain-fest. He has to win all four of the contests out on course though.
The break extend their lead nicely and we get to the first of the tests. Ghyllebert attacks away and... the rest of the break are going to let him have this. De Gendt rolls over in second ahead of Jelloul. The gap is at 6’29”.
There is a small gap between this and the next three climbs. When we get to the second climb of the day with 61km remaining Ghyllebert is once again the only one interested. De Kort rolls over in second this time and once again Jelloul is in third.
The gap has dropped to 4’38”, thanks largely to the work of three teams. Those teams will not surprise anyone – Pokerstars, Puma and Festina.
Ghyllebert attacks for the points at the third climb but he can’t sustain his attack. The rest of the break just keep a steady rhythm and almost catch him. He holds them off, however, with Jelloul rolling over in second ahead of De Kort.
Clearly Ghyllebert is hurting and as we get to the final climb he can’t even muster the energy for an attack. Instead, he clearly has worked something out with the rest of the break and he makes sure that he goes over in first place. De Gendt is behind him and then Jelloul. So Ghyllebert will be wearing the mountain jersey tomorrow.
There are still 43km remaining and the peloton powers on. The rain starts to come down and perhaps because of this Goss suffers a puncture. He has probably been one of the most disappointing riders in this race but nevertheless his team clearly have some faith in him as almost all of their domestiques wait. The pace is high though, so this may be tough.
We get to the 10km to go banner and the gap is down to 26 seconds. De Kort and Ghyllebert put in an attack, with the latter clearly having recovered somewhat. It is interesting to see that Goss is also 2’30” back and that gap back to the Australian sprinter is just opening wider and wider.
This little burst from the remnants of the break proves to be short lived and just like yesterday Steurs catches the break. There are only 7km remaining so the teams get to setting up their trains and bringing their sprinters forward.
Once again we have three competing trains. On the left we have:
Sinner
Lavoine
Guerao
Van Avermaet
In the middle the train is:
Dupont
Dumoulin
Mohs
Van Heerden
And finally on the right the order is:
Kvist
Gasparotto
Bennati
Ciolek
Kvist does a great job pulling his train to the front. The Pokerstars train is about a bike and a half behind the others.
As the first lead-out man comes off the front Kvist drops back and his line forces Bennati to lose the wheel of Gasparotto, who can’t slow for his leader at this late point. On the left Van Avermaet decides to launch his sprint early.
If anything Gasparotto seems to be faster than Bennati today! He powers to the front.
With 700 metres remaining Guerao launches his sprint and comes up to the shoulder of Van Avermaet. Bennati also finds some speed and comes up on the far right, up against the barrier.
With 500 metres to the line Guerao is right on the front, with Bennati in second. Can the Italian come back to him?
But what’s this? Out of nowhere, with a huge burst of speed, Granjel Cabrera approaches these two – he could be fighting for the win here! Impey, Van Heerden and a resurgent Mohs are also moving up quickly.
But no one could challenge Oscar Guerao today and he takes his third stage of this race. Could he also take the points jersey here?
Granjel Cabrera’s huge burst of speed proved well timed as he is able to take second place. Bennati is once again relegated to third place and surely the points jersey goal has to be almost impossible from here, with only three more likely sprints remaining.
Mohs will have to be content with fourth, but at least he is showing decent form. Van Heerden takes fifth place. Vanderbiest once again has a solid sixth place finish while Impey will be pleased with his seventh on such a flat stage. Ciolek was well placed but can only manage eighth. Castaneda once more sneaks into the top ten with his ninth and finally Bonnet takes tenth place.
The only change to GC was most of Wikipedia losing 5’21” today, though Pinot was not there so it doesn’t matter a great deal. But two jerseys will be changing hands tonight – Ponzi could only manage 5 points and so Guerao takes over the green jersey by hitting the 100 mark. Ghyllebert, as we know from earlier in the stage, takes over the mountain jersey by just a single point. That may well change hands again tomorrow unless Ghyllebert is in the break for the second day in a row.
