Italian Shark attack in Sheffield

The Shark of the Strait, aka Vincenzo Nibali (Astana), claimed his first stage victory at the Tour de France as he rode away from a very select group two kilometres from the finish in Sheffield. He is also the first Yellow jersey from Italy since 2009.

The Italian champion now leads by two seconds over Peter Sagan who went down fighting but lost the stage. Instead, he wears the Green jersey which he has won twice overall before.

It was frantic start to the stage which left York without Mark Cavendish who had this to say in the morning (interview). With a ribbon of people lining the road as they had on stage 1, a group of six got away and it was touch and go as to whether they would be let off the leash by the big teams.
They were and then one more rider, Bart De Clercq (Lotto-Belisol) bridged the gap at km 12 to make it a seven-man breakaway.

The others were Armindo Fonseca, Perrig Quémeneur (Europcar), Matthew Busche (Trek), Cyril Lemoine (Cofidis), David de la Cruz (NetApp-Endura) and Blel Kadri (AG2R-La Mondiale). Their maximum advantage of 3.55 was recorded at km 50.

As the day before, the racing saw a few crashes in the peloton, none of them serious, one of them involving yellow jersey wearer Marcel Kittel but with no consequence prior to the first categorised climb.

Simon Gerrans (Orica-GreenEdge) for the second day running hit the deck whilst Lieuwe Westra (Astana), Bauke Mollema (Belkin), Tejay van Garderen and Darwin Atapuma (BMC) were also victims of crashes.

Cyril Lemoine did well in the fight for the polka dot jersey. After four uphill sprints out of a possible nine, he had scored more points than Jens Voigt the leader after stage 1 and that helped Lemoine take the jersey off the shoulders of Voigt.

After having been controlled most by Giant Shimano for the first section of the stage, when the hills started to come thick and fast, Tinkoff-Saxo did its best to control things and keep Contador safe.

When the break was reeled in at Holme Moss, Thomas Voeckler (Europcar) joined Kadri at the front. However, Kadri rode him off his wheel to take the five points awarded at the top of the only second category climb of the day (km 143.5). Kadri was eventually reeled in with 35km to go while Kittel had more bad luck and slipped back to a rapidly growing grupetto.

Several teams (Sky, Astana, Tinkoff, Garmin…) were all eager to control the peloton which was getting smaller as all the climbing on the Yorkshire stage took its toll on the rider’s legs and as the race entered Sheffield, Cannondale was keen to protect their rider Sagan.

Two riders managed to slip away though on Oughtibridge Hill with 18km to go; Pierre Rolland (Europcar) and Jean-Christophe Péraud (AG2R-La Mondiale). Rolland pressed harder on the pedals and lost Péraud as the road went upwards and was holding a lead of a few seconds over what was now a very select group after Garmin had done some real damage earlier thanks to Tom Jelte Slagter, a winner of the Tour Down Under in recent years.

Rolland though was not going to hold off the GC contenders who were keen to test each other on the final freakish steep climb in suburban Sheffield. Orica GreenEdge led their man Albasini, a former Tour of Britain winner, into the climb before there was a free for all and Contador was soon at the front.

Froome had a dig, either to stay safe for the following descent or to see whether his rivals could follow. They did but a rider in the colours of Astana went one better, Nibali, and with two k to go as the others followed Peter Sagan around, ‘the Shark or ‘Nibbles’ as he’s also called, made a very smart move and clipped off.

A hesitation behind was all it took for him to get the gap. A great descender, Nibali covered the final few kilometres very quickly indeed and had time to celebrate a history making victory, pointing to the Italian flag on his Astana jersey as the Italian RR Champion as he won.

The chase was only two seconds away on the line with stage favourite and virtual Yellow jersey Sagan 4th and still second overall with Nibali’s two seconds enough to put him in yellow. Next stop London and perhaps another chance for Sagan to take yellow?

REACTIONS

Vincenzo Nibali (Astana): The rider with a sharks teeth on the front of his bike had his well and truly biting into the stage today, winning by two seconds. “This is wonderful victory! Its a reward for all the sacrifices. The beginning of the season has been a difficult one for me but I’ve trained hard with my team-mates for the Tour de France and my confidence is now boosted by the two victories I just got, at the Italian championship and here today”.

“I want to keep working and be calm. My main goal is to get a good result at the end of the Tour de France amd don’t want to lose my head. The Tour is a very hard race. I’m superstitious so I don’t want to say that I’ll win the overall. I’m delighted to get the yellow jersey after having won the red jersey at the Vuelta a Espana and the pink jersey at the Giro d’Italia. This is hugely satisfying. It was a very nervous race with a lot of spectators. I found the right time to escape. They watched each other behind but I was scared to get caught because of the head wind. For sure the Tour de France doesn’t finish here.”

Alberto Contador (Tinkoff Saxo) – “Today was a stage in which you needed to be careful, to control your rivals and also test yourself a little bit. I’m well. I’m glad. I feel in shape and I think I will progress as days go by”.

“We had to be focused all the time today because it was a super challenging day. We were in the front of the peloton for 200 kilometers and the team protected me very well. Although on TV it appears to be very orderly here in England, the tension is big. And although we are extremely grateful to all the people, who are on the road, there’s great danger. Going at 80 or 90 km/h on the descents full of people taking photos, people in wheelchairs, people with dogs… finishing untouched every day is a victory”.

“It was a good day today. It is always important to be in front and push a little bit. But today was not the day, it was not the right terrain to gain significant time on the competition”,  Contador concludes.

Chris Froome (Sky): “It was a really difficult day,” said Froome after the stage. “It was undulating all day and a big fight for position. The crowds out there were incredible. Going up Holme Moss I had goosebumps all over. The support we’ve had from Yorkshire has just been out of this world. You could see in the final a lot of the contenders were making moves. For me it was about staying out of trouble and avoiding any major splits or issues. It’s a small margin but the win puts Nibali into the yellow jersey. It should be an exciting week of racing to come.  I can tell you I’m tired and I hope everybody else is tired as well.”

Geraint Thomas (Sky) “Once we turned right off the main road with about 35km to go it was really steep – up and down,” he explained. “You definitely feel it in the legs. Garmin really put the hammer down and there were only around 20 riders left. Once it eased up, we took a bit of control to keep Froomey and Richie out of trouble. It worked out well in the end. It was great racing. Those roads are really good and Jenkins Road at the end made it really interesting. For sure (the main contenders) all tested each other out. Everybody wanted to be at the front and then once one person makes a move everybody follows. We’re riding well as a team and as a unit. I think we can be happy with how these first few stages have gone.”

Peter Sagan (Cannondale): “Today I knew it was a good chance and I raced for a top result. It was a very hard stage as well as difficult to manage, especially in the finale. I placed fourth, not bad, especially because when I’m in a small group everyone looks and waits me and nobody gives me room to move. I tried to attack, then I tried to follow others, but there was always someone ready to close the gap. It’s always harder for me to move or to surprise. This is why today was ok – and then, Nibali is my friend, we raced together two years ago and I’m happy that he has won.”

“I know there are other good chances for me and I’ll look for these. Stage five on the cobblestone is intriguing, as well as other mixed stages. I want to do well in these days as well as to take points for the Green jersey. I’m happy that I took it today, but I perfectly know that the road to Paris it’s long. I’m sure my contenders won’t let me relaxed. In addition, there are no easy stages at the Tour de France, there’s always a lot of stress in the peloton and dangers due to the high competitiveness. As I usually said, the win of the green jersey it’s something I’ve to built day by day” added Peter.

Michael Kwiatkowski (3rd) “It’s a different feeling riding without Cav,” Kwiatkowski of Omega Pharma Quickstep said. “I honestly really missed him today, he gave a really nice speech to us this morning that motivated us. I hope he is well. For me, that was a stage which was close to a stage that can suit my skills, such as Liege-Bastogne-Liege, but with a much higher speed. I suffered so much on all of the climbs. It was not easy to be in the front. But the team was always around me”.

“They really helped me and I could be in the front on the final. I think I did my best and I have nothing to complain about. I tried to wait for the finish because I saw some teams there with two or three riders. I thought they’d chase down every single attack. But, finally, Nibali went and the chase was unorganized. But no matter what I am happy about my performance and my 3rd place finish. It boosts my confidence. Now, the feeling is back that I had from the beginning of the season and my morale is high. I am happy to do well and, in a way, show Cav that we will fight for him even though he is not here with us.”

Michael Albasini (Orica GreenEdge): (Former Tour of Britain winner) ““Gerro (Gerrans) let us know he didn’t feel super on the second last categorised climb so I knew I had to have a go today,” Albasini said. “All the biggest guys from the Tour were there in the finale so I have to be happy with that. As the race went forward I recognised that it was all going to happen on this last 800m climb, but it was a really hard 800 meters,” Albasini said.

“The guys did an awesome job bringing me into first position for this last steep climb so I am really appreciative that I had this chance. Usually I can sprint a little bit better but I couldn’t do anything to stay on the wheels. There was nothing left in my legs.”

Greg Van Avermaet (BMC, 2nd): “This was a stage that really fit me,” Van Avermaet said. “It was a big goal for me and it is too bad I was second. I was feeling real good on the climbs. In the end, it was a bit tactical with the attacks. But I did a good race and I did a good sprint. It would have been a great day if I could have won and taken yellow. But it is like it is, and maybe there will be another chance to come. We will see.”

Tejay Van Garderen (BMC, 9th): “It was attrition all day – it was hard,” the past Tour de France best young rider said. “I am just happy to make it through with all my skin and in the same time. I had reconned the day, so I knew it was going to be hard. I feel like I am going to get better every day and today I felt really good. So I can only go up from here as along as I stay safe.”
