Tour de France – Stage 3

STAGE 1 REPORT | STAGE 2 REPORT

The 2012 winner of the Flèche wallonne Joaquim ‘Purito’ Rodriguez of Katusha found the way to glory again atop the Mur de Huy after a crash marred stage. Runner up Chris Froome (Sky) took the yellow jersey with an advantage of only one second over Tony Martin (Etixx-Quick Step) who missed out on the lead for the third consecutive day.

Joaquim ‘Purito’ Rodríguez: “Yesterday was a bad day because I had worked so much and the puncture and crashes ruined everything, it was sad. But today’s win is great. It’s the fruit of a phenomenal team work. I’m very happy. It’s a fantastic mental booster for all of us.”

“When I saw the 400 metres to go mark, I wasn’t even thinking. In the last Flèche wallonne, I got boxed in and I couldn’t attack. I didn’t want this to happen again. I’m not surprised that Froome and Contador couldn’t follow me because this finale suits me to perfection. I’m a very explosive rider. I know this finale very well too. A 400 metres long effort is exactly my favorite distance”.

“At some stage, I even asked Caruso to slow down so I could breathe a bit before the climb. I knew I could win but it’s true that in the last 100 metres I was pedaling with my ears. A victory like today’s is a kind of unforgettable event.”

“What happens this week has nothing to do with with what can happen in the other two weeks. Experience, strength and resistance will prevail. Tomorrow, it’ll be important not to lose time. At the Tour, things change daily and the race is won in Paris. The most important is to arrive safe and healthy in the mountains”.

“With this heat and this rhythm of crashes, it’ll be an extraordinary. I hope not to crash again. I’ll try to keep the polka dot jersey, but the way to Paris is a very long one and my primary goal is the overall classification”.

“There aren’t many Tours built in such way that I can enjoy like this one with big mountains to come. I put a stage win at the Tour ahead of a win at the Flèche wallonne. Everything done at the Tour is like a storm.”

Froome in Yellow

The 2013 winner of the Tour de France is already 36 seconds ahead of arch-rival Alberto Contador (Tinkoff-Saxo) in the overall classification ahead of stage 4 on the cobblestones in northern France.

A field of 198 riders took to the start of stage 3 in Antwerp. Bryan Nauleau (Europcar), Serge Pauwels (MTN-Qhubeka), Jan Barta (Bora-Argon 18) and Martin Elmiger (IAM Cycling) rode away from the gun at the initiative of the Frenchman. They got a maximum lead of 3.45 and the gap was stabilized at 3.20.

The race passed through Eddy Merckx’s native town of Meensel-Kiezegem, where a statue was unveiled in tribute to the world’s greatest cyclist ever who turned 70 in June. Approaching the first climb of the Tour de France, the côte de Bohisseau, the peloton was about to rejoin the breakaway riders when a big crash occurred.

William Bonnet (FDJ) seemingly touched the rear wheel of the rider in front and what followed was a mass crash on both sides of the road. Bonnet, Tom Dumoulin (Giant-Alpecin) and Simon Gerrans (Orica-GreenEdge) were then the first three riders forced to pull out.

Christian Prudhomme stopped the race despite protests from riders wanting to carry on racing. The race director explained “This was an exceptional decision due to exceptional circumstances,” Prudhomme explained post race. “All our ambulances and medical vehicles were mobilized at the back of the race because of the crashes. The riders at the front would have been without assistance if we had not stopped the peloton.” The races director explained further that there were four ambulances and two medical cars treating injured riders where both the crashes occured.

Yellow jersey Fabian Cancellara (Trek) was also involved in the crash and after looking like he was going to stop, he carried on but lost eleven minutes on the stage winner. Due to the extraordinary circumstances of the crash at a very high speed and the fact all the medical support was being used on this one crash, the race was neutralized to allow the injured riders to be back in the peloton.

Twenty five minutes after the crash, a new start was given at the top of the côte de Bohisseau with 50km to go. With 41km away from the finish, Team Sky put the hammer down and then Tinkoff-Saxo and Astana also accelerated and split the peloton in two parts.

GC favourites Thibaut Pinot (FDJ), Romain Bardet (AG2R) and Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) made their way back to the first group after being distanced before Angelo Tulik (Europcar) attacked on the côte d’Ereffe to get one KoM point. Team Sky brought him back as they decided to keep Chris Froome out of trouble by pulling the bunch up the climbs and round the twists and turns at speed in the lead up to the Mur de Huy.

Tinkoff-Saxo took over from the British team with 10km to go with Rafal Majka doing a lot of damage and leaving the front group only 30 or 40 strong as they started the battle for the Mur. Luca Paolini (Katusha) led the peloton of around 40 riders into the Mur de Huy whilst Froome and Contador went in a duel but couldn’t follow an acceleration by Joaquim “Purito” Rodriguez 400 metres from the top.

Tony Gallopin (Lotto-Soudal) kept his slipstream for a while but it was Froome who manage to almost rejoin him right on the line, too late for winning the stage but the Brit was strong enough to finish 11 seconds in front of Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) and Nairo Quintana (Movistar) and 18 seconds over Contador.

Chris Froome: “I think the Mur de Huy is typically the climb for punchy types of climbers that’s why it’s been a great performance by Purito. I expected it and I was marking him. The climb doesn’t suit me really so it’s a surprise to come here in second place and gain some time over the other GC contenders. I couldn’t be happier.”

“It’s an amazing feeling to be back in yellow after the disappointment I had last year. I didn’t expect to lead the race so early. I don’t know how much we can read the race through a one-kilometer long climb but it’s a good position to be in. It’s better than having to make up time on my rivals.”

“The yellow jersey isn’t a burden. It’s a great place to be in ahead of the cobblestones. It’ll elevate the whole team. I’ll approach the pavés the same way as in the first few days. We start from zero every single stage until we reach the mountains.”

“We just race the best we can every day. I’m glad I look calm from the outside but it’s very nervous. Everyone tries to do the job for their team leader. It’s a big battle for positioning. I thank my team for keeping me at the front. I don’t have the burden to looking for positioning myself. I definitely wouldn’t say that I’m the strongest, it’s too early for saying that. We’ve seen so many changes already since the beginning of the Tour.”

Albert Contador: “Froome is very strong. He nearly won the stage today but there are still many days of racing. You must stay positive. The yellow jersey gives you confidence, you tell yourself you’re well but it also gives pressure and responsibilities. Still, I would love to hold it,” he said.

“Tomorrow on the cobbles, it will be a matter of survival. It’s an incredible Tour with a lot of stress, tensions and nerves everyday. Every year the stress is stronger and you leave a lot of energy. We must be very careful, anything can happen.”

Tony Gallopin (5th): “I’m really glad with this fifth place on the Mur de Huy. It was a race like I had expected; we arrived at the bottom with 40 to 50 riders. The teammates helped me to get in a good position and I could turn up the climb as one of the first. I tried to hang on to the same rhythm, so I wouldn’t explode. At a certain moment I was riding at the front, but in the last 200 metres the others were stronger. Nonetheless, a fifth place is a nice result at a finish of which I know it doesn’t completely suit me. That proves the condition is good.”

“On the moment of the big crash I just had a puncture. That way I was lucky, otherwise I might have crashed as well. Now I could pass the riders involved and I immediately saw that some were severely injured. The neutralisation was a good decision. Many riders were involved and the damage was huge. People are always talking about the safety of the riders; now everyone could take a pause for a moment.”

“I hope everyone will be spared from bad luck tomorrow, because it will be very nervous with the cobbles. We have a team that’s good at this. Sieberg is in top shape, André is very strong, Jens is a rider for the classics, just like Lars and I don’t say ‘no’ to it myself. Depending on the wind I think we will get to the finish with a large group. And then we’ll see. We have different cards to play.”

Tony Martin (yet again missing yellow by a second): “Like yesterday, the team was always around me. I was pretty nervous as was everyone in the peloton, as it always is in the first week at Le Tour. The team rode 100 percent today for me, especially Kwiatkowski. He was unbelievable. After everything I did for him in the past years, he gave it back in the last two days. It’s amazing for me and I want to thank him as the World Champion for being such a supportive teammate the whole race”.

“The story of today started with the big crash. Everything was neutralized. I was a bit confused as to what was going on, if they would neutralize longer or just for a moment. I heard about the big crash, and all the riders who went down, and I was sad about it. I was hoping for a big fight for the yellow jersey. I was close to wearing yellow today, but if I were to have been this close with an even bigger fight it would be even nicer”.

“I wish a speedy recovery to all the riders who were involved. As for the rest of the race, it was really hard even compared to yesterday. It was not just the Mur de Huy. The other climbs before were really up-and-down, with small roads. I felt already in the last 20 kilometres that I was pretty tired. Maybe it is because of all the chaos of the last two days. I couldn’t sleep so well yesterday”.

“It was not my day today and I really had to suffer. On the last kilometre on the Huy I was dying. I was really fighting to survive. I was looking around the corner and looking for the sign with the time. It was around 30 seconds and still 100 meters to go. It felt so long, one of the longest feeling 100 meters of my career. The staff told me I was close to Froome with yellow, and I was a bit surprised”.

“I am so disappointed though, but also quite happy because I didn’t expect to even be this close. I am looking forward to tomorrow. The whole team is motivated for the cobbles and we will again fight for yellow.”
