Today’s stage brings us two long and hard HC climbs – the Col de la Bonette and the Col du Parpaillon. The former is a long 25.9km @ 6.4% while the latter is 17.2km but a much harder 7.9%. After the Col du Parpaillon there is a technical 36km descent which brings us to the finishing town. Finally, the race finishes on a 1.1km uncategorised climb which averages around 5%.
With the long descent to the finish it looks like a perfect day for a break. The first one to really give it a go is Serge Pauwels. He has 6 mountain points which could be useful with the 40 on offer today but others may have the same thought.
Those other riders are:
Johan Tschopp
Stef Clement (15 mountain points)
Arnold Jeannesson (32 mountain points)
Lars Petter Nordhaug (42 mountain points)
Marcel Wyss (16 mountain points)
Tom Stubbe
Roman Kreuziger (12 mountain points)
Mikael Delage
Sergio Marinangeli
Mathieu Sprick
Ricardo Van der Velde (34 mountain points)
Tim Kennaugh (20 mountain points)
Jocelin Maillet (4 mountain points)
Brian Vandborg (4 mountain points)
Koldo Gil (31 mountain points)
Geert Steurs
And interestingly every single one of these riders is allowed to move up to the front of the race and we get a huge breakaway of 17 riders.
Of the riders here Van der Velde is the best placed overall. He is in 28th place, 42’52” down and this is a really good chance for him to solidify a top 30 overall position.
Back in the pack Santander are the only team doing the work – they still have 9 riders left which is becoming more and more of a rarity. The break has a lead of 8’53” as the first of our two climbs begins.
The pace in the pack is pretty gentle and the gap keeps expanding but this gentle pace is still too hard for a number of sprinters and they are shelled out the back. It is Serrano, Veloso and Rienda Segura who are doing all of the work at this point.
There are no major events along the climb until we reach the top. Nordhaug, who had the most mountain points coming into today, decides to attack. He can’t maintain this advantage as he isn’t quite a good enough climber, but either way the rest of the group allows him to roll over the top in first. Jeannesson comes over in second and Van der Velde is in third. The gap to the pack, which is reduced to 94 riders, is 10’41”.
The crowd is really out in force on the Col du Parpaillon. The break reach it with a gap which now sits at 11’01”.
This entire race has been marked by spates of bad luck for a variety of riders and now it is the turn of Peter Velits. As the bunch is reduced to 67 riders and the pace increases the Slovakian rider punctures and has to wait for a team car. His 11th place overall is looking in serious danger.
Almost at the same time, with 13km to the summit Pluchkin decides to launch a bid for glory.
Pluchkin gets a good gap so Amador and Intxausti look to bridge up to him. Brajkovic follows them while Sicard, Abal and Pedraza follow at a distance, trying to get into this chase group.
Seeing that this is a powerful group Tenorio hits the front. He is clearly being forced to sacrifice his own GC ambitions in order to defend the overall lead of Madrazo. Abal and Pedraza are caught by him and the bunch is reduced to 37.
With 7km to go for the peloton it is clear that the pace is extremely high. In fact the gap to the bunch has been more than halved since the start of the climb. The gaps are:
5’14”
32”
25”
23”
Break
--->
Pluchkin
--->
Gr. Intxausti
--->
Sicard
--->
P (36)
Sicard is dragged in with 4.5km to the summit and just as that happens Schleck launches an attack!
Madrazo follows his attack. These two then catch up to the group of Intxausti to form a strong group of five riders. Their gap goes out and they gain a minute on the bunch behind them. Note that Pluchkin is still ahead of them.
The group behind is now down to 15 riders:
Tenorio, Valls, Lopez Garcia
Kohl, Faiers
Abal, Anton
Cunego
Sicard
Pedraza
Duarte
Henao
Costagli
Medvedev
Augustyn
Sicard sees that this move could be hugely important so he tries to bridge up to the five riders ahead of him. There is still no reaction from Cunego yet.
Up front Pluchkin ends the hopes of a number of riders as he catches the break.
Not only does the Moldovan champion catch this group but Madrazo’s group catches them and Sicard solos up to them as well. The group has now grown quite large. There is some confusion as riders try to find their way through and teammates move to those who have bridged up and thanks to this slight slow-down Abal is able to bring the remnants of the bunch back. There is just over 1km left.
His first attempt having ended rather abruptly, Pluchkin now attacks. Amador and Brajkovic also give it a go but they can’t quite follow Pluchkin.
Now Schleck manages to get a gap. The climbers are determined to use every inch of this mountain.
The riders go over the top and the gaps are:
27”
13”
24”
Pluchkin
--->
Amador
--->
Braj / Schleck
--->
P (31)
On the descent 13 riders break clear from the peloton, including the main GC riders who were there except for Faiers, who is behind.
With 14km of descending remaining the front four riders all join up together 30 seconds ahead of this first part of the bunch.
Cunego may have kept his powder dry throughout the climb but with 4.7km left he decides to go for it – he attacks on the descent. The bunch is also swollen by another 13 riders joining up though once again no sign of Faiers.
With 3km to go Cunego has pulled out 18 seconds on the bunch – this late attack could be working! By the 1km mark he has almost closed the gap to the 4 leaders!
Schleck leads the front group under the kite with Brajkovic and Amador on either shoulder and Pluchkin at the back. Unless Cunego has a superhuman kick it looks like these four will be fighting it out for the stage win today.
It is just down to two – Schleck and Amador!
Andy Schleck just edges out the stage win here on the first Alpine stage!
Amador will have to be content with second place. Pluchkin recoups some pride and some time by taking third place. Brajkovic was the weakest in the lead group in fourth. But what’s this? Cunego has tacked himself onto the rear of the group for fifth place, but more importantly the same time gap as the others!
37 seconds later the GC riders come through, lead in by Madrazo himself. Tenorio was doing a lot of pulling in the finale and takes seventh. Intxausti gets eighth place ahead of Sicard and the best of the original break Van der Velde.
So with that Cunego narrows the gap to 56 seconds going into the final two mountain stages. That should ensure some fireworks! Cunego will also now wear the points jersey as he moves into the lead there by three points. Other than that there are no changes in the jerseys and the GC remains largely the same as it was this morning but we can expect some changes tomorrow.
