Tour de France – Stage 11

Tony Gallopin had already had his day of glory as he wore the yellow jersey on Bastille Day but he suffered a lot in the Vosges mountains the day after and didn’t enjoy that. A rest day followed and then an even better ride followed as he claimed his first stage victory at the Tour de France with panache!

With a long downhill run to the finish, he attacked twice in the last five kilometers to deliver another thrilling finale in Oyonnax while Vincenzo Nibali retained the lead and Andrew Talansky experienced a completely different feeling with a sore back at the far back of the race, fighting to finish within the time limit.

Elmiger, Lemoine and Delaplace the lucky ones
Jérémy Roy (FDJ) was the first attacker after the flag dropped. Following many skirmishes and a notable one by green jersey wearer Peter Sagan who rode alone ahead of the bunch from km 13 to km 18, a breakaway finally took shape at the exact moment the feeding was allowed, at km 28, earlier than usual due to the hot and sunny weather conditions.

Swiss champion Martin Elmiger (IAM) was the first rider to find the way to escape. He was rejoined four kilometers further by Cyril Lemoine (Cofidis) and Anthony Delaplace (Bretagne-Séché). Their advantage reached 6.45 at km 46 where two teams, Cannondale and Orica-GreenEdge, decided to initiate the chase.

Talansky in trouble
With 80km to go, a favourite for the Tour de France was in trouble: Critérium du Dauphiné winner Andrew Talansky (Garmin-Sharp) lost contact with the peloton and couldn’t hold the wheels of riders coming heading back to the peloton after answering the call of the nature. After twenty kilometers of suffering, the American stopped on the road side in front of the broom wagon but his directeur sportif Robert Hunter convinced him to get back on his bike. He did and an epic struggle with the watch that will go down in history like so many before it, began.

Gallopin attacks twice
Ahead of him, on the climbs in the last fifty kilometres, Elmiger dropped his breakaway companions one by one and saw the return of Jan Bakelants (OPQS) and Nicolas Roche (Tinkoff-Saxo) with 37km remaining. One kilometre further, two more riders reinforced the front group: Cyril Gautier (Europcar) and Jesus Herrada (Movistar).

The leading quintet only had 20 seconds lead with 25km to go. Roche went for a solo effort with 21km to go. He passed over the last climb alone out front but got reeled in five kilometers further on the downhill by the first part of the peloton led by Tony Martin for OPQS who put in yet another long mighty effort for his team leader, Kwiatkowski.

By now, the race at the front was more about a rider’s ability to get round corners at speeds others could not. It was about who had the biggest kahunas as they raced down the slopes at breakneck speed in a thrilling race that saw the peloton behind splitting as GC contenders did their best to keep up with Nibali whilst others wanted the stage and were throwing their bikes around corners, left, right, left in a big to escape.

Like Tony Gallopin (Lotto) who was the next rider to attack but he got caught 4.5km away from the finishing line by three riders: Peter Sagan (Cannondale), Michael Rogers (Tinkoff) and Michal Kwiatkowski (OPQS). With the peloton only seconds behind, there was little room for finesse and 2.5km before the line, the Frenchman attacked again.

Sagan, who wanted that stage as much or more than the Frenchman had been outwitted again and Gallopin resisted to the chase of the peloton which had been reduced to 35 riders to claim an historic victory for him in Oyonnax. A victory that puts him in the history of the Tour de France for the second time in four days after he wore the yellow jersey on Bastille Day. Vincenzo Nibali retained the overall lead.

REACTIONS
Tony Gallopin: “Have I become another rider? No. I don’t think so. I always try to follow my path but I don’t attack enough. I often focus on riders like Sagan and I finish 5th, 6th… I should always ride the way I did in San Sebastian last year. I have an inferiority complex in relation to the best riders.”

“My attacks in today’s finale weren’t planned. I had sore legs all day. This morning I was convinced that the breakaway would work. I came for a training camp in Les Rousses not far from here with my father Joël and my fiancé Marion [Rousse]. We rode the course of today’s stage but not the last five kilometers at the entrance of Oyonnax so when I felt better with 20km to go, I called my team car to ask [Lotto-Belisol team manager] Marc Sergeant to show me the road book”.

“It gave me some ideas. It would be a finale for attackers. I didn’t want another sprint of 20 or 30 riders like in Sheffield or Nancy. I tried my luck on the small hill that wasn’t categorized but I knew it. When the three guys came across [Sagan, Kwiatkowski, Rogers], I knew I had no chance to beat them in a sprint, so I had to go again”.

“To win a stage and to take the yellow jersey deliver different feelings. The Maillot Jaune, I was thinking about for five before I got it. I had imagined it. But today, until one hundred metres to go, I didn’t believe I could win, so the emotion is stronger than for the yellow jersey. I felt more lost after the finish today. From the team car, I heard ‘go’ a few times, and ‘don’t look back’ but I did with 100 metres to go. That’s when I realized. It was fantastic!”
“It could sound pretentious but I’m not surprised by my performances at the Tour de France. I’ve always had the confidence of my relatives and my team. Before the Tour, Marc Sergeant had been clear: I was here to help but also to look for a stage win. It wasn’t easy. The level is high but I’m a consistent rider. I’m often in the shadow of the big names but I was expecting to come out of it.”

“It’s a dream come true. I’ve experienced so mixed feelings in a couple of days: I was over the moon when I took the yellow jersey, the next day was a nightmare on the bike and now I’m a Tour de France stage winner. It’s incredible.”

Peter Sagan: “It’s a strange situation because I was in a good situation for winning. But when I was at the front with Kwiatkowski, Gallopin and Rogers, nobody wanted to work with me. They know it’s hard to beat me in a sprint. Rogers attacked, then Kwiatkowski… I can’t look after everyone. I was hoping to win for my girlfriend’s birthday but I got the flowers with the green jersey so I’ve got something to offer her. I’m confident. I’ll try my best. I’m sick of coming second. But it’s difficult every day. Everybody knows me.”

Geraint Thomas: “Racing again after a rest day was kind of like when you stop for a coffee on a training ride. When you get going again, your legs are in bits. I think the majority of the peloton felt like that as well. We thought it would be a day for the breakaway and see 10-15 guys go up the road, and then the bunch roll in about 5-6 minutes down, but as it turned out there were narrow roads at the start and Astana blocked it so only three went away. It turned into a really hard day”.

“We were racing hard over the last 50km. Garmin really put the hammer down on that first climb, and it was the first day this Tour where we really experienced heat as well. That definitely added to the stress but we’re all in the same boat. I think everyone was suffering in their own little world. It was all right in the end, me and Mikel were around Richie in the final.”

“It actually split coming into the finish, but I managed to close that in the last 3-4km to go. It was a bit of a scary moment but I think these sort of days are probably the most dangerous to lose time – little descents and splits mean you can often lose 10-15 seconds – so we’re happy that we’re the same as this morning and it’ll be the same again tomorrow hopefully.

Richie Porte (2nd overall) “The heat has come, which is welcome, but it was cold on Sunday and now it’s really hot,” said the Tasmanian. “It’s another nice stage to get done and Paris is getting a bit closer. There was a bit of a gap there on the descent and I got stuck chasing it, but Geraint Thomas was really good there. He came back and pulled it back together.”

“That’s racing. The gaps happened in front of me and I had to chase, but it’s good to get that one done and hopefully get through tomorrow nice and quick, and then on to the Alps on Friday. We are ticking it off – a little bit of a cliché – but day by day. We just want to get through these stages as best we can and then look forward to the mountains.”


EN РSummary РStage 11 (Besan̤on > Oyonnax) by Le Tour de France

Vincenzo Nibali: “It’s been hot today. We’ve passed from an extreme condition to the opposite one but I’m not sure the heat is particularly good for me because I’m from Sicily. By now I have ridden my bike and performed in any kind of weather condition. A big trouble because of the heat can happen to anyone, any time”.

“Maybe that’s what happened to Talansky today, I don’t exactly know. It’s been reported that I can lose the Tour because of the heat, because of crashes or because of my team. Crashes also can happen to anyone. It happened to my team-mate Michele Scarponi today but from the team car I got to know that he rode over other riders uphill. But he remained quiet and didn’t spend any useless energy. I didn’t need him on my side as Tanel Kangert and Jakob Fuglsang were there along with me”.

“My team worked very well today again. Many of my team-mates were involved in that work. We have to be careful every day. The daily fatigue is hard to handle, for different riders from different teams. I remember from the Tour two years ago that something is likely to happen every day. Today it was hard because of the nervousness in the bunch and Garmin launched the action very strongly”.

“Cannondale and Orica worked hard behind and Gallopin’s attack was decisive. In overall, it has gone well for me today. So far, my hardest achievement since the beginning of the Tour is stage 2 to Sheffield because the rhythm was extremely high and there was a very strong head wind, I had the peloton right behind me with a very small margin.”

Alejandro Valverde (Movistar, sponsored by Endura clothing): “I’m really happy there’s some heat on the roads at last. It’s been a really demanding stage, but we’re happy with how things went. We had to stay attentive all day to get through the day as good as possible and the last downhill was crazy. I realized Porte was losing ground behind, saw the Omegas trying to flee and got on their wheel. Some of us opened a gap, but it was really difficult to get to the finish. I could have tried to sprint into a smaller group, but my main task today was not losing any time. The body is feeling all efforts taken and we will have to keep focus, as well tomorrow as in the Alps. Hoping we can find good legs and do well in the weekend.

Joaquim Rodriguez (King of the Mountains) “It’s been hard, hard! The day after a rest day is usually not the best for me and today’s stage was very fast. I thought it would be quiet but when we hit the hills, the Garmin team rode flat out. Anyway, I’ve enjoyed seeing the sun coming up on the road of the Tour. I also have an eye on the coming mountains, which will suit me better than this kind of terrain, ‘vallonné’ (lumpy) as French say. I’ve kept some energy for Friday and Saturday. I’ll look at winning a stage in the Alps.”

Andrew Talansky: Suffering from pain in the back and on the verge of giving up, Andrew Talansky (GRS) finally crossed the line in last place, 32’05 behind stage winner Tony Gallopin. “My back hurts but I wanted to continue for the team. I continued for the team, for the guys. They trusted me for this Tour, I did not want to stop after everything they did for me.”

Michal Kwiatkowski (off the front with Sagan in finale) “On the last climb of the day we moved to the first part of the peloton,” Kwiatkowski said. “We started to work and on the descent we were in the front. That was the time we made a move, because the descent was very technical, and with Matteo and Golas there we tried to win a stage in two possible ways. I went away with Gallopin, Sagan, and Rogers, but I also knew Matteo was still in the back in case we were caught. I tried to attack with 3km to go and get away from those guys. But it didn’t work out, so Matteo was there to also try in the peloton. We did our best and still earned a 3rd place as nobody could catch Gallopin. We have to be happy that we tried with the options we have and look forward to trying again tomorrow.”
