BMC Team Press Release
It was a dream come true for Greg Van Avermaet who put in a stunning solo effort that saw him win stage 5 and take the leader’s Yellow Jersey at the Tour de France.
Van Avermaet’s incredible performance sees him with a strong lead in the General Classification, 5’11” in front of Julian Alaphilippe (Etixx-Quick Step), and 5’13” in front of Alejandro Valverde (Movistar Team).
An early breakaway of nine riders including Van Avermaet formed and established a solid lead of over ten minutes in the first 100 kilometers. Van Avermaet attacked from the breakaway with Thomas De Gendt and Andrei Grivko with 120 kilometers to go.
Grivko was dropped as they approached the final four climbs, leaving Van Avermaet and De Gendt to battle it out for the victory.
Van Avermaet attacked again with 17.5 kilometers to go and powered on to solo to the second Tour de France stage win of his career and first time he has worn the Yellow Jersey.
The first day of climbing also saw Tejay van Garderen and Richie Porte jump up on the General Classification, now sitting in 12th and 27th place respectively.
Greg Van Avermaet: “It feels great. I was never dreaming about the Yellow Jersey but it is a big dream that has come true. I was happy with the stage win last year, but now another stage win and the Yellow Jersey, I think it’s once in a lifetime for me and I’m going to enjoy it as much as possible tomorrow.”
“I felt pretty good. Grivko was not working at the beginning, Majka was not working, so me and Thomas De Gendt did a really good job. We were the strongest guys from the break I think, and we made the race hard and we saw that the peloton wouldn’t come back on this steep climb. I felt pretty good and I just went on my own because I was strong enough to hold it to the line.”
“I think for my type of rider it’s really hard to get the Yellow Jersey and I’m so happy that I have it. The stage win is something but wearing yellow is the most beautiful thing I think for a cyclist.”
Richie Porte: “I was comfortable. Tejay and I have shown that we can work together and Damiano Caruso worked well and put us in a really good position. I knew that those descents were going to be crucial. At the end of the day, it’s a great day for the team. It’s not nice to have lost time like that [flat tire on stage 2] but you know, you just keep fighting each day I suppose. The signs are good, I had good legs and it’s quite exciting.”
Tejay van Garderen: “Greg certainly looked like he had good form today. It was a super impressive ride and great for the team, and great for Greg as well with the season he’s had, so he really deserves it. Tomorrow I’m sure we’ll help to control the breakaway but I don’t even expect us to have to do much work to bring them in because the sprinters’ teams will probably want to pull back the breakaway. I think we’ll just enjoy the day in yellow, stay relaxed and get ready for the Pyrenees.”
Other reactions
Vincenzo Nibali (Astana)”Nothing happened. I’m alright. It’s normal. I knew I was coming on this Tour de France to work for my team and for Fabio Aru. The legs din’t work well so I gave up. We said it from the start, Fabio is the one who matters. I already won the Giro and it took a lot of energy. The goal is to help Fabio and to build a good form for the Olympics. I stopped for ten days after the Giro. I feel really free. I believe that in the coming weeks, the whole team will be at the top. Today, it didn’t go so well. But Fabio is in great shape and we’ll try to have a good race.”
Dan Martin (Etixx Quickstep): “The first mountain stage is a little bit of a shock to everybody, and today it was even more difficult because of the scorching heat, which made the road melt in some places. To be sincere, it felt like you were riding through glue all day long. It was a difficult start to the Tour de France and nobody had the legs to attack on Wednesday, because people are already tired after just a couple of days and 18 hours in the saddle. The team rode well together and I am confident for the mountain stages which will come later in the week.”
Chris Froome (Sky): “For us it was about staying up front and not losing any time on those GC guys. Those descents were pretty tricky and dangerous. Obviously we knew the breakaway was going to stay away today and the jersey’s gone to Van Avermaet – he did a pretty impressive ride there!”
“From our side we’re happy with that. We’re happy to stay out of trouble and it’s one more day down. It wasn’t really in our interest today [to send guys down the road]. We wanted to stay out of trouble. The big GC days are still to come. Today was one of those days where, yes it was selective, but it wasn’t necessarily going to be a big showdown between the contenders themselves.”
Julian Alaphilippe (white jersey) “Today we knew that we will face many attacks from the start and that there was a good chance for a break to go all the way to the line. In the final 35 kilometers, Movistar made the pack’s life difficult, trying to test the other riders, and it wasn’t easy to keep the pace, but I handled this situation well and now I’m happy and very proud for keeping the white jersey. Tomorrow, a flat stage is on the cards and we will try to set up Marcel Kittel for the sprint”, said Julian of the stage which will take place between Arpajon-sur-Cère and Montauban (190.5 kilometers).
Alberto Contador (Tinkoff) “In the last part of the race the pace was so high we barely had a second to take a breath. We lost time and we have to take the race day by day and try to recover before the Pyrenees and the harder stages. I will give my best in the Alps and try to see what result we can achieve.â€
“The morale is good. I have been through tough situations many times in my life and one has to be strong. It’s true that it’s difficult when you have been preparing for so long, taking care of the smallest detail to be in the best form possible and then have two crashes in a row. If this stage had taken place five days from now it would have been different. However the race is what it is and we lost time”.
Thomas De Gendt (Lotto Soudal): “I have no regret. I’ve just had bad luck because of being at the front with Greg van Avermaet who is one of the best riders in the world. My team told me not to sprint for the polka dot jersey but I still went for the points because only once in a lifetime it’s nice to have the polka dot jersey. I want to keep it now and I’ll try to add some more points to my account but I don’t think it’ll be possible till the end.â€
Peter Sagan (Tinkoff): “I’m not disappointed to lose the yellow jersey, c’est la vie. The yellow jersey is nice but one day it has to end. It’s the race. Every year it’s my goal to have green jersey. It’s still long way to Paris. It was a very hard stage today. We tried to keep the breakaway not too far from us but they rode very strongly.â€
Nairo Quintana (Movistar): “It was a difficult day – mountains have been quite different to what’s normal in a Tour de France, with little, steep, grueling climbs. They were more similar to the other GTs. The team worked really well; we always kept a pace that was within my needs and both Dani, Alejandro and myself came into the front group, which was more than enough and the only thing that really matter today after all.”
Alejandro Valverde (Movistar): “Our team-mates were phenomenal; we all worked well. You must do something if you want to gain something; you’ve got to make such efforts to win time, and things got pretty demanding for a first mountain stage in a GT today. We weren’t really worried about Contador or any other specific rival; we all struggled at some point of the race, which was our intention – we wanted to make the race fast to check on our own feelings and the rivals’. We saw pretty much everyone doing well, which is normal when you’re on the fifth day of racing, but I’m sure this will pay off in the remainder of the race. We’re satisfied with today’s performance.”
Joaquim Rodriguez (Katusha) “Fourth in GC now, that makes me happy. Honestly, I felt good all day. Of course I suffered on the climbs as they were really steep sometimes, but I cannot complain about how I did. Let’s hope we go on this way. The day was not easy. It was a hard and hot stage. The early break contained some real greyhounds and they got so many minutes. Sky tried to control it, but they got no help from Movistar or Quick Step, which we all expected, so the gap became bigger. Later Movistar chased, maybe more to cause some damage than for the stage win, but it was effective”.
