For the first time, Tony Martin has won a different stage than a time trial at the Tour de France but it looked like a time trial as he used the mid mountains stage in the Vosges to ride away with Alessandro De Marchi for 90 kilometres and solo for 59 kilometres!

It was an enormous exploit by the German world champion from Omega Pharma Quickstep but not the only amazing achievement of this eventful day as Frenchman Tony Gallopin took over from Vincenzo Nibali in the overall lead.

The peloton came in almost eight minutes down on Martin with all the favourites together so no change to the ‘real’ GC even though it looks quite different now!

THE RACE
The riders hadn’t done more than five kilometres on stage 9 before a breakaway took shape on the first climb of the day, the col de la Schlucht. It was made up of Danny Pate (Sky), Jesus Herrada (Movistar), Joaquim Rodriguez and Simon Spilak (Katusha), Sergio Paulinho (Tinkoff), Alessandro De Marchi (Cannondale), Laurens ten Dam (Belkin), Jan Bakelants (OPQS), Ben Gastauer (AG2R), Tom Dumoulin (Giant), Kristjan Durasek (Lampre), Arthur Vichot (FDJ), Tony Gallopin (Lotto), Amaël Moinard (BMC), Perrig Quémeneur, Cyril Gautier and Thomas Voeckler (Europcar), Dani Navarro and Nicolas Edet (Cofidis), Michael Albasini (Orica), Danilo Wyss (IAM), Leo König and José Mendes (NetApp) at Brice Feillu (Bretagne).

Soon after Voeckler passed over the top in first position, the front group was reeled in but De Marchi rode away again at km 16 and was rejoined by Tony Martin (OPQS). In that order, the duo took the KOM points at the top of col du Wettstein.

A chasing group comprising of José Joaquin Rojas (Movistar), Joaquim Rodriguez and Simon Spilak (Katusha), Sergio Paulinho (Tinkoff), Kristjan Koren (Cannondale), Lars Boom and Steven Kruijswijk (Belkin), Mikaël Chérel and Matteo Montaguti (AG2R), Tom Dumoulin (Giant), Rafa Valls (Lampre), Matthieu Ladagnous (FDJ), Tony Gallopin (Lotto), Amaël Moinard and Greg Van Avermaet (BMC), Pierre Rolland, Cyril Gautier, Alexandre Pichot, Perrig Quémeneur and Kevin Reza (Europcar), Fabian Cancellara (Trek), Dani Navarro and Nicolas Edet (Cofidis), Christian Meier (Orica), Sylvain Chavanel (IAM), Tiago Machado (NetApp), Brice Feillu and Jean-Marc Bideau (Bretagne).

The group however were not working well together which allowed De Marchi and Martin to keep on racing hard at the front. With 59km to go and nine more kilometers to climb to reach the summit of the Markstein, Martin distanced De Marchi and started an impressive time trial effort. Since the côte de Gueberschwihr (km 86), Gallopin was the virtual leader of the Tour de France.

Vincenzo Nibali kept the situation under control with his Astana team-mates setting the pace of the bunch but the Italian looked happy to get rid of the yellow jersey. Gallopin rode away on the downhill to Cernay after the Grand Ballon, eventually rejoined by Chérel and brought back by his former companions but he did enough to maintain high the pace of the group.

He claimed the first yellow jersey of his career. Europcar finished the job to reposition Rolland higher on GC. Out front Martin never weakened and kept an lead of 2.44 over the chasing group on the finishing line in Mulhouse where Tony Gallopin took the first Maillot Jaune of his career. Martin meanwhile took over the lead in the King of the Mountains. It was a momentous day!

Tony Martin: “I think there are not so many guys in cycling who can do it like this,” Martin said of his solo win. “But I have to do it this way because I am not a guy for the big attacks and playing games. When I have the space, when I have a gap, I know I can make a good race and go really fast. I can do an effort like that in more than a one hour time trial. I can put out this kind of effort in a three or four hour mountain stage”.

“Today everything worked perfectly. I had good legs and condition. It was my kind of weather and with only one rider with me in the breakaway it suits my skills. We didn’t play any games, we just were going and cooperating well. It was just a perfect day.”

Martin also gained 18 KoM points on the six climbs of the stage, which put him in the Polka Dot Jersey (King of the Mountains). He even won the Most Combative Award for his outstanding effort. Martin went into the final 12.5km with an 8’01” advantage on the peloton, 3’10” to a chase group of 17 riders, and 3’01” to two chasers including Tony Gallopin (Lotto-Belisol), who took over the yellow jersey with his aggression.

Inside the final kilometres Martin’s advantage further increased, allowing him plenty of time to celebrate before crossing the line as a Tour de France stage winner. “I think I’m known for some crazy gambles such as today, going into the breakaway so early in the stage with just one rider,” Martin said. “It doesn’t always work out, but today it did. There was also some strategy behind it”.

“I knew when the original 28-rider group directly behind us was chasing us down, that it could maybe work. For me, the chance outside of the break would be really difficult. It was a flat finish and I’m not the fastest guy in the sprint. So, it was all or nothing. Uphill, most of the time everybody goes fast, but on the descents and the flats you can really make up time”.

“Because, everybody in the big break is too busy watching each other. That happened behind us. Uphill, we maybe did the same speed, but on the top of the climbs and the descents we made really good time. I knew there would be a point where the chasers give up. We had 1’30”, 1’40” advantage, but then the advantage grew to more than three minutes. I knew we broke the morale. So, I knew at that moment if I went alone and did a good time trial performance I could make it today.”

“For sure the victory from Matteo Trentin took off the pressure on the team a little bit,” Martin said. “But before that win, we already showed that we never lost morale when Mark Cavendish crashed, and could not continue the Tour. We always were really active in the race. We stayed constantly in front. We could stay out of trouble and crashes and also try something in the crosswind”.

“Maybe the morale was down temporarily when we found out Cav was out. But afterwards we decided to immediately make an aggressive race here. The first win of Matteo alleviated the pressure and we knew we could make some aggressive tactics. We tried today with Jan Bakelants in the original breakaway, and the second choice was me. It worked out, and we are all happy. We will celebrate our second stage victory tonight. I am happy that I was able to improve our morale even more with the first Tour de France road victory of my career.”

Tony Gallopin – “I’ve made it! I was thinking about taking the yellow jersey since the cobbled stage, nevertheless, what I feel is indescribable. When I was a kid, I couldn’t dream of taking the yellow jersey because I was getting dropped at all the races I took part in. Today, I knew there might be an opportunity, so I didn’t want to miss the breakaway”.

“I jumped in all the attacks. It has lasted for forty kilometres but I made it. Then I’ve had to fight all the way to make sure that the gap was big enough. I haven’t wanted to believe it was going to happen until I crossed the line. Tomorrow I’ll ride in yellow on the occasion of France’s national day”.

“It’s unbelievable. It’s more than formidable. But it won’t be the easiest stage for defending the lead. Favorites will undergo their first real big test and I only have one and half minute lead. I’ll do all I can to keep the jersey. I’d love to have it for more than one day.”

Fabian Cancellara (2nd) “It was a crazy start, we were not represented in the beginning, and so I made a big move to jump into the breakaway. But when I looked around to see who was there I saw only skinny, small climbers! I had to suffer a lot on the last climb, I was dropped, and had to really give everything to come back to this group and then recover for the end.”

“I got the best out of the situation with a second place. Tony [Martin] was in the front and it was not possible to catch him. He did a fantastic ride. What can I say? The Tour is quite hard! It was a surviving stage today. I am happy – it is my daughter’s second birthday today and I get the second place! That sprint was for my daughter: happy birthday Elina!”

“I spoke with Tony [Gallopin] in the race and I found out that he was the virtual leader. I am happy for him to get the yellow jersey! In the end we spoke that we can at least get something from this breakaway; I was very tired and had to play my cards right, but at least second is something for the team at the end of today.”

Next (Monday) is the stage with the La Planche des Belles Filles summit finish the first decisive mountain test of the Tour de France
