REPORT
Russia’s Ilnur Zakarin of Katusha became the second rider to win a Tour de France stage for the first time this year. To do so, he rode the other rider to do so, Pantano, off his wheel on the final slopesat Finhaut-Emosson.

181 riders started the stage 17 in Bern, Switzerland, after Mark Cavendish (Dimension Data) and Rohan Dennis (BMC) withdrew in order to prepare for the Olympic Games. 51.8km were covered in the first hour which prevented any breakaway from going clear.

Then, Tanel Kangert (Astana), Stef Clement (IAM), Kristjian Durasek (Lampre-Merida) and Tony Gallopin (Lotto-Soudal) rode away on the climb of Saanenmöser after 70km of racing before seven riders joined them: Jarlinson Pantano (IAM), Rafal Majka and Peter Sagan (Tinkoff), Domenico Pozzovivo (AG2R), Steve Morabito (FDJ), Ilnur Zakarin (Katusha) and Brice Feillu (Fortuneo-Vital Concept).

A counter attack of eight riders was formed with Alexey Lutsenko (Astana), Greg Van Avermaet (BMC), Serge Pauwels (DiData), Alberto Losada (Katusha), Rui Costa (Lampre-Merida), Thomas Voeckler (Direct Energie), Julian Alaphilippe (Etixx-Quick Step) and Ruben Plaza (Orica).

Lutsenko, Van Avermaet and Voeckler managed to make it across with 63km to go while the peloton led by Team Sky was cruising more than eleven minutes behind. After Majka took four more KOM points on the category 3 climbs, Sagan won the intermediate sprint at Martigny and let the breakaway go.

Gallopin was the first to attack up to the col de la Forclaz as the stage entered the critical phase. Lutsenko went across and continued solo with 24km to go before he to was reeled in before the summit where Majka passed over the top in first place again. Majka and Pantano formed a leading duo on the downhill like on stage 15 where the Colombian claimed his first Tour de France victory.

Zakarin meanwhile made it across to the two leaders with 8.5km remaining before he then attacked twice and opened up a gap with 6.8km to go on Pantano who was unable to follow him a second time. Zakarin forged on to become the second Russian rider to win a Tour de France stage for Katusha after Sergey Ivanov in 2009.

In the yellow jersey group, Astana made the tempo for a while with Nibali reducing the numbers in the group to around a dozen or so before he bailed. Alejandro Valverde then tried to up the rhythm but it took an attack by Richie Porte before a move got clear.

He managed to go clear with 2km to go and Chris Froome joined him while runner up Bauke Mollema was dropped as had a number of GC contenders. Then, Adam Yates put the hammer down and Nairo Quintana couldn’t hold the pace and he was dropped as was Mollema.

REACTIONS

Adam Yates: “I said if there’s an opportunity to take some seconds, I’d try to go for it and I’m satisfied with my performance. I took some time on Mollema but I wasn’t thinking of Mollema himself. I tried to bridge the gap to Chris Froome and Richie Porte. Obviously Froome is pretty strong. In my opinion, he’ll be on the top spot of the podium in Paris. Hopefully I won’t have a bad day and I won’t lose too much time tomorrow but this time trial suits me more than the other one. The closer we can get to the podium the better and I am happy with how today’s stage went.”

Richie Porte (BMC): “I really want to be on the podium so they’re the moves that you have to pull. I felt strong today and I’m happy with how it all went. I’m with BMC Racing Team now and I’m riding for myself so it’s a bit different to the role I’ve had before. But I’m enjoying it, taking it day by day. The team has put some confidence in me and I’m happy with how today went. I know there are three more hard stages to come until Paris. So we’ll just take it day by day.”

“I spoke with the Sports Directors this morning and they said just use your head and if you feel like it, attack them. I have to anyhow. The tempo was not so fast there and it was a good time to get a gap there. They chased hard I suppose so it’s a good sign. I quite like uphill time trials so I think it’s a crucial one tomorrow. I know I need to have a good time trial and take some time. I think I’ve shown today that I’m climbing well so I take confidence out of today.”

Chris Froome: “I don’t think it was possible to go faster than Richie at the end. I didn’t need to pull. Today was the only the first of a bloc of four difficult days in the mountains. Tomorrow it’ll be more critical. If I was in a small team, I would have very different goals, maybe I’d be looking for a breakaway every day, I’d chase an opportunity to win a stage. The main difference between Team Sky and the other teams is that my eight team-mates are focused on one goal only, which is to help me win the Tour de France while other teams have two GC riders or a sprinter or someone to go for breakaways. Leading the Tour de France is about dealing with being in the yellow jersey and going to the press conference every day. At the
beginning, you feel the pressure when you find yourself in this position. Now it’s easier, I’m more relaxed.”

Dan Martin (Etixx Quickstep): “It was a very fast day and we finished way ahead of the schedule, despite the scorching heat. Movistar and then Astana pushed a hard tempo, whilst I didn’t feel as good as after the first rest day, but even so I tried to attack. I thought Sky will back off, especially as Chris Froome didn’t have any problems, but they kept on going and chased me. I am five minutes down on him in the GC, so I take this as a compliment, because it looks like I’m still a threat for them”, said Dan with a wry smile, before concluding: “I remain confident and hope for some nice results in the next three days in the mountains.”

Nairo Quintana: “It wasn’t a great day for me. I expected to do better because my feelings were good, but my body did not react well into today’s final climbs. I did just as much as I could. Let’s hope I can recover to my best and react well to what’s left in this Tour, just as it happened in previous years when I fared better into the final days of racing. I feel well – it’s just a bad day. We must focus on recovering and bouncing back to my real status, the fitness I achieved for other races. Anything can happen until Paris. There are many years left for me. I’m 26. Many people ahead of me on the standings is quite more experienced. I’ve got time to keep fighting for it.”

Bauke Mollema (Trek Segafredo) “I did not have such good legs today,” he admitted. “I felt it already on the second last climb, and when the attacks started, I couldn’t follow. At two kilometers to go, I had to go my own tempo. My positioning wasn’t great before that, I knew I should be more towards the front, but you do what you can, and I couldn’t do more at that point. I did not have the legs I had the last weeks. It’s a pity, but I just kept fighting until the finish line so as not to lose too much time.”

“The first 140 kilometers are quite flat so it’s hard to know how you will feel on the climbs, added Mollema. “With the first attacks I needed to take a breather, and I could bridge, but then when they ride away from 2k to go, it sucks. The last climb was really steep, so in the end, it could have been worse. Luckily the damage is not too bad, and I am still second. Let’s hope it was just this one day.”

Alejandro Valverde: “We gave it a try; I think there’s no one who can’t say we did. It’s become really difficult to achieve the win here, but we must keep fighting for the podium. Our plan with my acceleration was making it harder and harder, trying for Sky to have as few riders supporting Froome as possible, so a subsequent attack by Nairo would have to be responded by Froome himself. I pushed hard, with a couple of strong accelerations, and later set my own pace to try and lose as little time over the line as I could. Froome is much superior, you’ve got to admit it; we must remain focused, with good morale and battling until the end. Obviously, the Tour is not done until Paris on Friday; should we have a chance to take the podium with Nairo, it’d be a nice goal to keep our minds set on.”

Ilnur Zakarin: “It’s been 3 weeks that I’ve been focused and motivated to win here in the Tour de France. After the crash in the Giro I was so disappointed. First of all because I was aiming for the final podium and to lose all of that in the last few days was very hard. So I began to think of the Tour so perhaps I could win a stage here, – said Ilnur Zakarin. Zakarin was in fifth place with only two stages to go in May’s Giro d’Italia when a high-speed crash sent him home with dashed hopes and a broken collarbone.

“This is a very important result both for me and for the team. I would like to thank my team and our main sponsor and team owner Igor Makarov, who has made a huge contribution to the team and our results. I am really happy with this victory. It means a lot for me, especially after my crash at the Giro d’Italia. I wanted to build up my form for the last week of the Tour and I did it. I feel good. But also, I wanted to prepare for the Olympics in Rio. Now I am really happy! I know this is the first Russian victory since 2009, so now it is time to renew old records and achievements. I am happy take my place.”

Jarlinson Pantano: “I’m happy. I got close but I couldn’t win. The most important is to do the maximum, always. I hope I have pleased Colombia today. I’ve tried everything to be ahead with Zakarin but he’s a great rider and there was no way to beat him today.”

Rafal Majka:  “Today, Peter (Sagan) brought me into the breakaway. He’s a machine and was pulling on the climbs so that I could take the points too. He was so strong today, respect to him and also to my teammates who helped me a lot. I need to win this jersey for my teammates, my team and for Oleg – he has supported us for five years and we want to take these jerseys to Paris for him.”“I’m happy, not disappointed – I’ve been in the break six times now this Tour de France which isn’t easy already. Maybe I’ve often lost the victory but I have now a lot of points for the KOM jersey. Congratulations to Zakarin, he was stronger today, and I’m always suffering after the rest day. There are still two hard stages for me and I’ll try everything.”

Fabio Aru (Astana): “First of all, I have to thank my team mates who did a wonderful job to help me in this important stage. We did a great rythm and I wasn’t sure about to attack far away from the finish line because today’s stage is the first of four stages very difficult and important for the final GC”

“Everyone of my team mates did a super job, then in the final someone had the energies to arrive a bit in front of me but I felt good and I think starting from tomorrow ITT there is still much to say in this Tour de France.”

Vincenzo Nibali “I think we did a good rythm and I saw many rivals for the GC really suffering in the back of the peloton. My condition is growing and I think I will still grow and I will be able to help Aru in the next two important stages in the Alps.”

Romain Bardet (Ag2R): “It was a good day. The final climb suited me well. I had decided to make my effort in the last kilometre. I knew that was the spot when the decision would be made. I’m glad of the way I’m tackling this last block. I managed the last climb perfectly. With Yates, we took some time in the last kilometres and it was the best way to make up for lost time. Tomorrow, it’s a TT that suits me, I love the Domancy climb. It’s a real mountain pass. It is a course on which you really want to enjoy yourself. For the GC I’m not making plans. We saw that there were quite a few attacks. I’m here to try and make the best of it.”

Tejay van Garderen (BMC): “In other years I’ve crashed or been sick, but this year I don’t know, it’s not responding. There’s really no excuse, I wish I had one but I don’t know. I guess I’m going to have to sit down with our performance team and see what we did in the build up. I’ve raced against a lot of these guys before in other races and I’ve been able to be there with them, and for some reason this year it’s not happening.”

“I think I’ll use the TT tomorrow as a recovery day, as much as I can anyway. And then I’ll do what I can to help Richie. Maybe if the legs rebound and I’m down enough on time they might let me sneak into a breakaway and go for a stage win. Richie, from what I heard on the radio, had an amazing ride so we’re really going to put everything behind him. It’s definitely tough. You work the whole year and you think you you’re doing all of the right things. Form’s a funny thing. Sometimes you have it, sometimes you don’t. I know I have it in me to do this, I just need to get all of the pieces together. With 5km to go I was on the limit. I’m not going to say that I gave up but when I realized that clearly I don’t have it, it’s not worth fighting and fighting and fighting for 15th place.” … continued after advert
