Tinkoff Press Release

Buffeted by winds and lashed with rain, today’s stage saw typical Normandy weather. Not only was the terrain challenging, with four categorised climbs over its length, but the coastal route around the Cotentin peninsula made riding even more tough.

This didn’t stop Peter Sagan in his campaign for stage wins however, as the Slovakian rider took the win with a sterling effort and powerful finish. The UCI World Champion will wear the yellow jersey with pride tomorrow for the first time in his career, the first yellow jersey of the team and team owner Oleg Tinkov too, adding to his impressive performances in the season so far.

The Tour de France’s second day brought with it its first uphill finish. While only a small third category kick at the end of the day, it had the potential to be just that little bit too difficult for the pure sprinters, giving the all-rounders a chance to go for the stage win.

After an opening stage that proved Peter Sagan had the power and the hunger to get to the line first, stage 2 was to give the UCI World Champion the kind of terrain on which he excels. It was a double edged sword though as GC leader Alberto Contador lost ground on the final climb, conceding time to his rivals after hitting the deck again on today’s stage.

At 183km the stage was long enough to be felt in the legs, but with three categorised climbs in the first 52km to contend with, it was going to be a tough day in the saddle – and the tough Normandy weather was only going to make the going more difficult. Skirting around the edge of the Cotentin peninsula, the peloton would be buffeted by wind and the occasional rain shower, with damp conditions early in the day. After getting through this, there was just the small matter of the third category Côte de La Glacerie to take the peloton to the finish.

This being the Tour de France, the attacks came from the moment the race left the neutralised zone. Four riders escaped up the road, and by the time the race had hit its second climb of the day, the fourth category Côte de Montabot, the breakaway had a lead of more than five minutes.

In spite of the break having a significant advantage, the peloton was in no rush to bring them back in, and as the day went on and the gap remained stable, there was every chance the break might be able to hold the chasing peloton at bay until the finish. With the first categorised climbs long behind them, it was sure to come down to the final climb to the finish and as the race entered its final 15km, the breakaway riders still had a gap of just under three minutes on the peloton.

While the break had their own ambitions, there were plenty in the peloton who wanted the stage win for themselves, and the pace crept up as the final 10km came. Peter Sagan in particular was keen to reel in the escapees and the peloton was happy to work with him. A tough climb shortly before the final climb took the wind out of the break’s remaining three riders, and while they began attacking each other to contest the win solo, the peloton was closing fast.

With the roads narrowing, the finishing 5km were treacherous as the pace rose ever higher and the chasers were jostling for position. With drops of rain falling on the course, the riders were throwing caution to the wind, racing full gas to pull in the last of the breakaway. With just under 4km to go, the gap was 1’20” and falling fast, but with the final climb still to come, with a section of 14% part of the way up, would the solo rider have the legs to finish ahead?

With Roman Kreuziger putting in a huge effort for the UCI World Champion, the break was in sight, the peloton massing for the finish. With it finally all back together, the race to the finish was on. Pushing hard for the win, Peter was passed just a few hundred metres from the line, but the Slovakian rider hadn’t started his sprint yet, and as he put the power in, he took the win and the yellow jersey on the line – the first time he has worn the famous Maillot Jaune in his career.

In typically understated fashion, Peter didn’t realise he had taken the win – or the yellow jersey – until after the stage. “I am very happy as I didn’t know I won today. Thank you to all my team-mates, and especially to Roman Kreuziger. He did the last climb full gas and was pulling all the way. Then in the final I did my best for a third place but it was really for the win.”

Bittersweet Day for Tinkoff
It was something of a bittersweet day for the team however, as Alberto Contador was unlucky to be involved in a crash earlier in the day, as Sport Director, Steven De Jongh, explained. “After 55km Alberto had a bad crash again – a rider came down in front of him and he went over and hurt himself, it was just bad luck. That’s the reason why in the final he couldn’t stand up to climb and he blew his legs. That was the reason that he lost time.”

Peter, too, was quick to offer his support to the Spanish rider and was confident he would recover. “Alberto has had a bit of bad luck yesterday and today again. I was very close to him when he came down. It was bad luck and I hope for Alberto that he will heal fast – he will be strong for sure.”

After today’s successes however, the team would be celebrating Peter’s first day in the yellow jersey, as the new holder of the Maillot Jaune explained. “I’m really happy to have this jersey for the first time in my career. It’s nice to win here again after no stage wins for the last two years. This year I’m having a really good season, from the classics to now, I’m very happy for this. Thanks again to Oleg Tinkov and Tinkoff Bank for their support and confidence, and I’d like to dedicate this victory also to Oleg for making this all possible with his support.”

Other Reactions
Richie Porte untimely puncture: “It was a disaster. But what can you do when you are sitting second wheel, in the perfect position. I don’t know what I did but the next thing I know, my rear tyre went down and I had to try and get back through the peloton. I guess you can only move on. Marcus Burghardt came back but when you are going that fast there’s not much you can do in terms of a bike change. It all just happened so quickly that by the time Burghardt came back the bunch was gone anyhow.”

“The Tour de France is far from over. It’s quite a hard one to take but at the end of the day I guess we just pretend it never happened and wait for the mountains to come. It’s only a bike race isn’t it? So I’m sure the sun will come up tomorrow.”

Tejay van Garderen: “I was up there in the final. It was a hard finish. I was full gas at the end. It was hard for the 40-50km leading into the climb so it definitely shook things up more than I expected. I feel horrible for Richie. The only thing I can say is that when you get to the third week of the Tour de France, two minutes could mean nothing. Contador also lost 50 seconds. The Tour is a marathon so hopefully Richie can stay strong in his head. Richie and I are still co-leaders. Anything can happen. Today I had to stay focused on not losing time.”

Jasper Stuyven: Lone attacker at the end after being out front all day, he explained “My main feeling is disappointment. In the breakaway, I knew I’d be the fastest if we were to arrive for the victory. I could keep a good pace on the first part of the climb but I felt empty on the steep part. It’s a good thing I have at least the polka dot jersey even though I’m not really a climber. It’s a nice jersey to have but my legs will hurt tomorrow.”

Julian Alaphilippe (2nd): “Today I got my first emotion at the Tour de France but it’s also a small disappointment because I’ve been so close to winning. It’s a feeling of frustration. I’ve been told I should be happy and it’s probably true because Peter Sagan is a big champion. This is my first Tour. I still have a lot to learn. To have the white jersey is good for my morale and for my team. I’m here to discover what the Tour is like. I’m also here to help my team the maximum I can. We’ll ride full gas every day.”

Chris Froome told Sky Sports “It’s unfortunate for Alberto and Richie, but it goes with the territory in these kind of stages. That’s why we really try to make a big effort to be up front. Guys like Ian Stannard and Luke Rowe are up there protecting me on days like these and keeping me at the front to give me the best chance to stay out of trouble and out of harm’s way.

“Those are pretty significant gaps, but it’s too early to rule anyone out of contention. The Tour will be won and lost by minutes sometimes, so these gaps are still insignificant. My main objective was to stay out of trouble and stretch my legs. I think we can tick that box, and thankfully, there were no major issues.

Alberto Contador said to Sky Sports “I lost more time than I had hoped to lose. I suffered another crash; I hit the handlebars and I was hurt on the other side from yesterday. I must stay calm, not lose morale. I’m still standing, but I have been really affected. The Tour has really started on the wrong foot. I’m not happy at all. It’s cycling. I’m physically hampered. I cannot pedal as I would like as the result of crashes. The important thing is to keep my morale, not fall apart, which is sometimes complicated. Both legs are very affected. I must see if I can make up some time in the Pyrenees and the Alps; see what I can do.”

Dan Martin (4th) “It was a hard finish and everyone was suffering. I watched the sprint of Julian and Peter from behind and it was like they were going in slow motion. Another second today for us, it’s true, but this just shows the incredible depth of this team. It was once again close and this only gives us extra motivation. I’m sure better days will come for us.”

Alejandro Valverde (3rd): “We couldn’t take so many risks before the closing climbs; it wasn’t worth for me since, while it’s obvious that I could chase the stage win, everyone in this team has come to this Tour to help Nairo out. He’s 100,000 times better positioned than me and with a better shot at the Tour that I’ll ever be. That said, into such a finish, with wide roads, it wasn’t difficult for me to get in a good place, and once there, you just don’t break – you’ve got to go for it.

“I was doing well before the last kilometer uphill, but I took the coice to following Matthews’ wheel into the final 500 meters, and I got a bit boxed in from the left-hand side as I sought for my sprinting distance. I thought Matthews would be stronger into such a kick, and once I got past his wheel, the rivals in front of me, super fast guys like Sagan and Alaphilippe, were impossible to overtake. [Asked by journalists about the GC] The dark horse? Seriously, I can’t be a dark horse after 14 years as a pro. And I don’t make any conclusions out of this third place. We’re all behind Nairo.”

Today (Monday)
Tomorrow the race hits its second-longest stage as we start to head south from Normandy to the Pays de la Loire. Covering 223.5km, the day starts with an undulating profile that includes a fourth category climb, before a further two steep uncategorised climbs. With the climbing over in the first 60km however, it’s a long and fairly flat ride to the finish in Angers. … continued after advert
