Tour de France – Stage 9

After winning at the Vuelta a España and the Giro d’Italia, Tom Dumoulin claimed his first ever victory at the Tour de France in horrendous conditions as the storm made the race hard and memorable in the last climb of the day after racing in hot conditions.

Like Jan Ullrich in 1997 and Brice Feillu in 2009, the Dutchman won in Arcalis where Chris Froome retained the yellow jersey as he kept the situation under control even when the 20-man breakaway had more than ten minutes lead. For the second time in his career (after 2014), Alberto Contador abandoned the Tour de France as sickness was added to his injuries from the first two stages.

After only one abandon, 197 riders started stage 9 the day after Michael Morkov (Katusha) was the first rider to quit the Tour de France the day before. He was soon to be followed by Mark Renshaw (Dimension Data) and Matthieu Ladagnous (FDJ) who started in Vielha despite feeling sick. It was also the case for Alberto Contador (Tinkoff) who had fever in the morning.

However, the Spaniard was prompt to counter attack with Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) and Sergio Henao (Sky) behind the first significant attack of the day. Led by Thomas De Gendt (Lotto-Soudal), it became a group of 45 riders but it split up on the way to the Port de la Bonaigua. 19 of them remained in the lead towards the top but Contador wasn’t able to hold the pace. Pinot was first atop the first category 1 climb of the day at km 19 while the peloton led by Team Sky was 1.20 adrift.

On the long downhill, Peter Sagan (Tinkoff) made it across to the leading group in which Valverde was a problem as Team Sky was chasing down. The gap was 45 seconds at km 53 when Valverde gave up, leaving 20 riders at the front: Winner Anacona, Jesus Herrada (Movistar), Diego Rosa, Luis Leon Sanchez (Astana), Rafal Majka, Peter Sagan (Tinkoff), Alexis Vuillermoz (AG2R-LaMondiale), George Bennett (Lotto-Jumbo), Mathias Frank, Stef Clement, Jérôme Coppel (IAM), Natnael Berhane (Dimension Data), Tom Dumoulin (Giant), Thibaut Pinot (FDJ), Rui Costa, Tsgabu Grmay (Lampre-Merida), Thomas De Gendt, Tony Gallopin (Lotto-Soudal), Dani Navarro, Nicolas Edet (Cofidis).

The peloton was riding slowly with a deficit of six minutes when Contador called it a race at km 81 at 14.24.

The advantage for the leaders grew to 8.10 with 60km to go and 10 minutes 50km before the end (maximum time gap: 10.30 at km 136). Sagan won the intermediate sprint at Andorra-la-Vella to move up in the points classification, only seven points down on Mark Cavendish. With 42km remaining, De Gendt rode away solo, not only to take five points atop the second category climb of La Comella but he forged on until he completely cracked 4km before the summit of the first category col de Beixalis where Pinot increased his virtual lead in the King of the Mountain competition to take the polka dot jersey in the principality.

Dumoulin rode away solo with 12km left, before the 10km long uphill finale to Arcalis. He created a gap of 50 seconds for himself and maintained a steady pace to fend off Rui Costa and Majka who were chasing him down. The Dutchman stayed up front to take a stage win at each of the three Grand Tours in the region of one year. The fight among the favourites started with 5km to go.

Successively, Sergio Henao (Sky), Richie Porte (BMC), Dan Martin (Etixx-Quick Step) and Chris Froome (Sky) sped up. Nairo Quintana (Movistar) remained on Froome’s wheel all the way. With Adam Yates (Orica-BikeExchange) finishing with the same time as Froome, the only change in the top three overall was Martin taking the third place over from Joaquim Rodriguez (Katusha) who was racing on home soil in Andorra.

Reactions

Tom Dumoulin “This is a dream come true. It’s been an incredible day. I’m so happy that I’ve won the queen stage! It’s special. I’ve showed that I’m not only a time trial specialist. I can do more. A few days ago, had you asked me if I was going to win the queen stage, I would have said you’re crazy. I wasn’t feeling good at the beginning of the Tour but eventually I felt better these past few days and even very good this morning so I decided to go on the attack. I took a few turns in the breakaway but not many. I was one of the strongest of the front group, and maybe the strongest. Since I’m a time trial specialist, it would have been hard to catch me, I presume. But up the last hill, my power was going down. I was feeling I was slowing down and I was scared I’d be caught but nobody came along.

It’s nice to ride and make history. I don’t think any Dutchman won a stage at each of three consecutive Grand Tours. That’s very special. It’s the kind of thing that makes me get the best of myself. I don’t want to compare those three wins at Vuelta, Giro and Tour. To win the queen stage of the Tour de France is really big but the time trial of the Giro at Appeldoorn with the pink jersey was also something very nice.

I need to climb one step or two or three in the hierarchy to be able to ride the Grand Tours as a GC contender. I don’t have the level of these guys. I wasn’t going well enough in the first week of the Tour de France to have ambitions on GC. It’s not worth competing for twelfth place. To win this stage is much better. I’m not good enough to make the top ten of the Tour de France yet but I hope to step in in the future.

I’ve always had the time trial of the Olympic Games at the back of my mind. This is my biggest goal of the season and I haven’t changed anything with this regards when I wasn’t feeling good at the beginning of the Tour. But today’s victory gives me a lot of confidence, also for the rest of the Tour. I can pick my days and help my team. I always said I came here aiming for a stage win. Whether it was going to be a time trial or a mountain stage didn’t matter. Now I have the confidence and a good level for the upcoming time trials.”

Mark Cavendish: “I keep the green jersey for the first rest day, I can be happy with that. I just want to enjoy my time with my family during the rest day. There are some opportunities left for sprinters but the stage that appeals to me is the last one in Paris. It’s a shame that Mark Renshaw had to pull out but he was very sick last night. There was no other solution.”

Adam Yates: “Yesterday I felt better but I didn’t lose anything to the best rider and it makes me very satisfied. Today at the beginning it was very complicated. With the breakaway and Contador’s attack, we didn’t know where to look. I had no problem with the rain at the end. I actually prefer the rain that racing with 45° and not being able to breathe. I’m very happy. I reach the rest day in a very good position. I just need to recover well. I’d like to win a stage but as long as I have options on GC I follow that goal.”

Chris Froome: “It was a tough stage and the weather conditions made it even tougher. It was super hot before we got rain on our head and ice falling from the sky. The temperature went down to 10°. We went from an extreme to another. It made the race harder but it’s still a great day for us. I’m happy to still be in yellow. My team-mates did a good job from start to finish. We were put under pressure by Contador and Valverde in the first climb but we didn’t panic. We went after them. I owe to my team-mates to still be in yellow.

Several times before the Tour, I said this would be the biggest battle of my career and it’s definitely the case. It’s not easy to ride away from everyone this year. The level is higher than in previous years. At the back of my mind, I was waiting for Nairo Quintana to attack until we reached the last kilometer. I was wondering if he was saving himself for a big move. As he didn’t, I like to think that he was at his limit. He stayed on my wheel, glued…

I was quite surprised to hear that Alberto Contador was in his car. As he had attacked, he obviously wasn’t feeling too bad but I guess he was still suffering from his injuries. It’s a shame he’s no longer in the race. It would have made the Tour even more exciting that it already is. It’s a big loss for the Tour de France but I have no doubt he’ll be able to set other goals for himself this year. The change for me is that we won’t have to chase his attacks 100 kilometres before the finish. It’s something less to worry about but it’s a pity.”

Dan Martin: Attacking ride from third on GC – attacking overall leader Chris Froome on numerous occasions, hoping to dispatch him and seize the coveted yellow jersey. “I don’t consider myself a contender, Chris and Nairo are the big favourites for the win, but I wanted to see what I can do, so I attacked a few times. In the final kilometre it was a headwind, and because of that it became difficult to try something there”, said Dan, who moved to Andorra last year and began using the Andorre Arcalis climb as one of his regular training grounds.

“Overall, I can’t say the weather had an impact, but I’m sure it looked cooler on TV. I’m third overall now, but I still want to take it day by day and try to get a stage win. I like riding again in the high mountains, Etixx – Quick-Step reminded me how to enjoy what I am doing and I can’t say enough times how great this team is. I’m an aggressive rider, that’s my nature, and I like to attack and fight for the win even if this means getting dropped, instead of sitting behind and fighting for second.”

Romain Bardet (Ag2R): “At first the heat was suffocating and then we had a hailstorm. The temperature gap was enormous. The outcome of this first part of this Tour de France is pretty good. I had planned to improve gradually for the third week and I’m really glad about my first week. I only lost some 20 seconds today and had I raced a little better, I could have finished with the yellow jersey group. It’s my best start to the Tour, my best first ten days. It’s a morale booster even though everything remains to be done.”

Thibaut Pinot: “It’s the glass half full half empty. I’m really disappointed because I targeted the stage victory. That was my priority and I was convinced that I was able to make it until we reach the last climb. I’m not sure what happened there. I possibly had a hungerflat. But I’ve not lost everything since I now have the polka dot jersey. It can become an objective even though I’d really like to win a stage. The Tour is not over.”

Alejandro Valverde: “It was a really demanding stage. The team behaved well overall; we tried to go after that move with Contador, knowing that we had team-mates at the front, but once Alberto wasn’t able to keep up the pace I couldn’t be there either, because if I did, the break just wouldn’t go forward. All in all, Nairo did his job well, keeping Froome’s wheel; my job, in turn, got way harder with the final pace, the rain and the efforts from the day, and I could just go on my own, staying with Kreuziger’s group and pushing with all I had until the finish. Froome unbeatable at the moment? So I feel Nairo is, too. There’s still a long way to go in this Tour – you must attack when it’s your real time. You never know when it comes. Contador’s abandon? It was sad; he had already told me he was suffering from fever this morning. All my best wishes to him!”

Richie Porte: “I put some time into some other General Classification guys so it’s a good day. I need to get time back so that’s what I was thinking [when I attacked in the final]. The team was fantastic today, we worked quite well together. It would have been nice to get a bit more of a gap but I’m guessing that they’re not just going to let me ride away like that. I feel good. It’s nice to get the first proper block of racing done. Physically I know where I am and that’s in a good place.”

Tejay van Garderen: “It was long and super hot and then it got super cold at the finish. It was just a hard day off the back of a hard day so I think Richie [Porte] and I did pretty well. Richie was obviously a lot better than me, but we just look forward. It’s been nine hard days of racing so fatigue definitely starts going into play but it’s still the first week. The first real mountain day of the Tour I always tend to struggle more than the other ones so I think it can only get better from here. Any one of the stages could be an opportunity to gain back time, the mountains, the time trials, so I’ll just take it as it comes.”

Joaquim Rodriguez: “I’m feeling not so bad. The rivals tried a few times in the end, so I lost a bit of time, but fortunately I am not feeling too tired after the race. This is a good sign. The long breakaway was good for us; otherwise the stage would have been even crazier. It was already crazy enough at the start. There were many attacks on the Port de la Bonaigua and Team Sky had to keep the pace so high. Later Alberto Contador abandoned and then came that crazy climb of the Col de Beixalis. The race still has two weeks to go. There are hard stages to come!”

Rui Costa: “The stage was so demanding, with all those climbs and the sudden change of the weather conditions – Rui Costa explained – I had focused my ambitions on this stage and I was aware that it was necessary to be in a breakaway for aiming for a top result. I went clear from the bunch with the first attack, however the early part of the stage was quite complicated for me because I had not top feelings. In the second part, I was better and I did everything I could to achieve the main goal.”

“I attacked at 20 km to the arrival because I wanted to anticipated the opponents, however it did not work, while Dumoulin succeeded in realizing the winning attack few kilometers later. The second place in a Tour de France’s stage is a good result, however I’ll try again to achieve the big target“.  … continued after advert
