Summary – Stage 10 (Tarbes > La Pierre-Saint… by tourdefrance_en


Chris Froome is as strong as a lion (nguvu kama simba in Swahili, the language he learnt in his native Kenya) and left his rivals left looking like mere pussy cats on the slopes of La Pierre-Saint-Martin, the first summit of the Tour de France.

Not only did he claim his fifth stage victory at the Tour de France but his teammate at Sky, Richie Porte, made the double for Team Sky, allowing the duo to start the second Pyrenean stage with the yellow and the polka dot jerseys respectively.

Froome outclassed Nairo Quintana, Tejay van Garderen, Alberto Contador and Vincenzo Nibali and causing many to worry that this Tour de France may not be the spectacle that many hope it will be in the mountains.

Chris Froome speaking after the stage “What a stage! Through yesterday’s rest day, we were very focused on today’s stage. We didn’t necessarily want to ride aggressively. We were happy to let a breakaway go, let other teams chase and be more defensive than usual. But when I heard the big names were struggling and getting dropped, I told Richie Porte and Geraint Thomas “let’s push”.”

“I could feel our rivals were in trouble after the rest day so my team-mates set up the finale for me. I attacked when it was steep before the road was flatting out. It’s the dream scenario. I couldn’t have asked for any better one, especially with Richie coming second and taking the time bonus away from Nairo [Quintana]. Geraint wasn’t far at the end, it means a lot for our team”.


“But the race is far from over. In 2013, Alberto Contador took us on in the crosswinds and in the descents. We can expect this to happen again. We have to see how much we’ll pay tomorrow for the efforts we produced today. Two years ago, we were in trouble on the second day in the Pyrenees, we hope to not repeat that. But everyone has seen how strong we were in the team time trial”.

“We’ve learnt the lessons from the past. We’ll be on our guard. I can always fear a mechanical or a puncture at the worst moment. That could have consequences. We’ll also be careful of early breakaways. We’ll stay focused. I wouldn’t like to be where my rivals are on GC now after only one climb. But we know that Nairo can be strong in the third week of a Grand Tour”.

“He can put us in trouble. We actually expected that he’d do so today. Movistar rode and I waited for him to attack. It didn’t happen so I attacked him. Even though it’s at a different point of the race, the day after the first rest day and not the day before the second rest day, it’s amazing to repeat the feeling of the Mont Ventoux when I won at the top of a big mountain with the yellow jersey, on July 14.


A peloton of 183 riders took to the start of stage 10 at Tarbes. Two non-starters were Ivan Basso (Tinkoff-Saxo) who is to undergo surgery for testicular cancer in the coming days and Lars Boom (Astana).

Pierrick Fédrigo (Bretagne-Séché Environnement) attacked at km 7.5 and was soon chased down by Kenneth van Bilsen (Cofidis) who bridged the gap at km 45. Whilst Team Sky held the Yellow jersey, it was Movistar who wanted control and they put numbers at the front to bring the leaders back.

It appeared a curious tactic as the two out front had no bearing on the GC but perhaps the Spanish team wanted a stage win as well as a GC one. In the end, they had neither.

At Artix, (km 75.5), Warren Barguil (Giant-Alpecin) crashed heavily in the feed zone because of a musette. His right knee seemed to hurt badly but the Breton rider got back on his bike and made his way across to the peloton.

Taking over from Movistar as the final climb got ever closer, FDJ sped up at the head of the peloton with Arnaud Démare 55km before the finish, showing Thibaut Pinot’s ambitions. But ambitions are one thing and the legs to make them come true are quite another as many many riders found out on the slopes of La Pierre-Saint-Martin.

The lead of Fédrigo and Van Bilsen was coming down fast, less than five minutes with 25km to go, 3.30 with 20km to go and 2.30 at the bottom of the ascent to La Pierre-Saint-Martin, 15.3km before the finishing line. The first rider to give in to the slopes of La Pierre-Saint-Martin was Van Bilsen who left Fédrigo to continue solo with 14km to go.

Behind the lone leader, Movistar was smashing it and pretty soon the favourites started to find themselves going backwards in the race. Former world champion Rui Costa, Dani Navarro, Wilco Kelderman, current world champion Michal Kwiatkowski, Andrew Talansky, Dan Martin, Romain Bardet, Thibaut Pinot, Jean-Christophe Péraud and Vincenzo Nibali were just some of the ‘names’ suffering behind the sunnies as the sweat poured off them.

With 10km to go, Robert Gesink (LottoNL-Jumbo) rode away solo, chased down by Rafael Valls (Lampre-Merida) who joined him with 9.5km to go only for Gesink to drop the Lampre rider and carry on alone.

2015_TDF_Stage10_05

He brought Fédrigo back with 8km to go but was caught himself one kilometre further on by the Geraint Thomas led yellow jersey group. After an acceleration by Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) was brought back, the Australian Porte put the hammer down when he realized that Alberto Contador (Tinkoff-Saxo) was in difficulty.

Then, the surprise many didn’t expect, with still many a kilometre left on the steep slopes, the Kenyan born Froome just accelerated at quite an astonishing pace and took time out of everyone including the rider closest to his back wheel, Nario Quintana.

Fighting his way through the crowds, Froome in that style that has to be one of the most ungainly ever, showed how effective it was by gaining time on Quintana who was being caught by Porte.

This Porte did in the closing kilometre and then after Froome had celebrated a win even he didn’t believe he could do in such a dominant way, Porte deprived Quintana of that second place. That result gives the Aussie the honour to wear the polka dot jersey on the second Pyrenean stage.

After such a momentous stage, the overall classification has seen huge differences and after only one climb in the 102nd Tour de France, Van Garderen is 2.52 adrift, Quintana is at 3.09, Contador at 4.04 and Nibali at 6.57. Only the coming days will we see whether this Tour is now going to be a Froome benefit or a battle for him not to have a bad day as all his rivals had today.

RIDER REACTIONS
Geraint Thomas: “I knew Froomey would be good but I think we all stepped up and that was surprising really. We knew Movistar would go at the bottom and it was a case of sit behind them and see how many riders we had left when they finished. We had four of us.”


“I felt good and heard Froomey on the radio saying he felt really good so let’s smash it. When Froomey is saying that, morale is good. So we went for it and for me it was a dream. I felt really good and came out of that rest day really well.”

“So personally, great, as a team, even better”.

“I did my turn and then got with Valverde and that and we got back up to Tejay and obviously ‘Im not going to ride with Tejay (a GC threat to his team leader Froome) so I was stuck behind him for four or five k. It was kind of frustrating and I wanted to go but I sat there and recovered and when Valverde went at the end, I just followed him. To be riding like that on a climb with Valverde and dropping Tejay, was a great day”.

“Movistar had to go for it as Nairo has some time to make up and hats off to them for getting stuck in and taking the race on but it played into our hands perfectly”.

Nairo Quintana: “It was a really hard stage, with hellish temperatures and big pace all day, especially since we took command of the peloton. We wanted to test our rivals’ condition, see how they were going, and we found a superior Chris Froome. He was really strong and we must accept that. We’ll try to find a strategy or some alliances to try and gain some time back or, at least, keeping our actual position. We must keep going day-by-day. We saw in previous races that he struggled a bit in race finales; we will hope he cracks some day or that I find myself better than I did today. My winning chances? They shrank a bit today, but I keep dreaming about yellow, and will give my everything to snatch it.”


Alejandro Valverde: “To be honest, it was a big blow by Froome today. We did a nice race, but we’ve got to be realistic: he was over the rest today. Let’s see if he can continue to do so for the rest of the race. Sky kept a high pace all the way when they took over, I tried to jump away to drop Froome’s team-mates back, but they were strong. It’s been a hard nine days before this stage, and the steep climb, combined with the heat… made everything impossible for many.

Now, for us it’s a matter of keeping what we’ve got or improving our result if we’re able to. The Tour is not over at all, though it’s becoming harder to win. Still, we can hope for everything when it’s Nairo. Others like Contador, Nibali, Purito, Van Garderen cracked today, and the same can happen to us or any other rivals up to the end of the race.”

Adam Yates: “I was in a good position because we took it easy in the team time trial so I am probably a little bit fresher than some of the big GC guys,” a modest Yates said. “I was distanced when Contador was dropped and I just rode at my own pace. I worked my way back up and I caught up to (Tony) Gallopin and we worked together to catch the other guys. I couldn’t go much harder than that, I was pretty much full gas.”

Alberto Contador: “I knew it was an important day today. I wanted not to lose too much time but I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t turn my legs. I don’t know why. It was really a bad day for me. We’re going to see what we can do to, whether we can improve our overall ranking. The priority is to relax, sit back, consider the stiuation calmly and act accordingly.”


Tejay Van Garderen: The BMC rider conceded 2:30 to race leader Chris Froome (Team Sky). “Sky definitely put on quite the performance,” van Garderen said. “I tried my best to stay with them. When it got too much for me, I tried to stay in my rhythm and focused on getting to the top. I don’t think today was my best day. But it wasn’t all bad. I am still keeping a good GC (general classification) position.”

2015_TDF_Stage10_07

In the overall standings, Froome leads van Garderen by 2:52. Quintana is third, at 3:09. Spanish national road champion Alejandro Valverde is fourth, at 4:01, and one of five riders still within five minutes of the overall lead.

“The first mountain day is always tricky,” van Garderen said. “We have done almost two weeks without climbing any real mountains. So it can be quite a shock to the system, especially after a rest day. I feel like it should go better from here. I am definitely still happy about where we are sitting.”

Andre Greipel: “It’s nice to get the green jersey for another day. It’s my first time going on stage for the ceremony in the mountains! The difference between myself and Peter Sagan wasn’t so big so I tried to go for the jersey again. It wasn’t too hard to get more points because not many guys were sprinting. I’m happy.”


Thibaut Pinot (GC hopeful): “I’m not well, that’s all. At the bottom of the hill, I felt good but my heart rate didn’t follow. We tackled the stage right, I was feeling OK at the beginning, I was keen to do well. We had done our homework. But after two kilometres at 200 pulsations, I knew I was going to crack.”

Vincenzo Nibali (Defending champion): “It was a difficult day. I couldn’t keep the pace. I could not breathe properly. I couldn’t find the right pedalling pace. It was as if I didn’t have any strength left. I could hardly follow my own team-mates. I tried to pace my effort, but I dropped after four kilometres and decided to climb more gradually. For sure Chris Froome hammered us badly. But we all lost time, all the favourites did: Van Garderen, Rodriguez, even Contador. We all thought we were better. It’s going to be difficult now. Physically I feel pretty well. But I can’t give anymore. I’m not the same Vincenzo Nibali as last year.”

2015_TDF_Stage10_03

Rigoberto Uran: “The truth is that everything has gone better than I expected so far”, said the Colombian climber before the first Pyrenean stage. “The team and myself have had a fantastic first week except for Tony Martin’s accident. My feelings are great. Everything that will come now will be a bonus. I feel much better than at the Giro where I was sick. If I’m well in the Pyrenees, I can fight with the best. This is a difficult race, there the four great, then Purito, Valverde and the Frenchmen. Anything can happen, even the least that you can imagine. I trust my consistency. I want to follow my dream to contest a great Tour de France.”
