GC Battle – Safety first was the moto on the finale for stage 20 as riders accepted what they had in the rain? Whilst the battle up the road for the stage was intriguing, the one for the GC fizzled out as all the riders battling for the podium finished one behind the other at the finish after taking it steady on the descent. Had it been a summit finish, the fireworks expected may have materialised but after the crashes on stage 19, riders were not going to risk what they had for what they might achieve or what Izaguirre had shown could be had with a faultless display of wet weather descending. So there were were no major changes although Aru and Mollema did lose time but their podium hopes were already gone.

The Stage

stage20winner
Ion Izagirre claimed his first Tour de France stage victory as he arrived solo in Morzine after riding away from Vincenzo Nibali and Jarlinson Pantano on the soaked descent of Col de Joux-Plane.

At the top, Nibali had just been caught by Pantano and Izagirre and the speculation was that either Pantano or Nibali would win. Not so. Izagirre went to the front on the descent and opened up a gap and that opened up a little more when Pantano almost came to grief on a bend. From then on, the gap continued top open for the leader and he saw off two noted descenders to win his first Tour stage.

At the start, many hours earlier, 175 riders started the second last stage of the 103rd Tour de France in Megève. A minute of silence was observed as a tribute to the victims of the shooting in Munich, Germany, the day before.

Sylvain Chavanel (Direct Energie) was the first attacker of the day right after the flag off. A lead group was formed in several waves on the ascent to the Col des Aravis. After 20km of racing, Sergio Henao (Sky), Imanol Erviti, Ion Izagirre and Nelson Oliveira (Movistar), Vincenzo Nibali and Jakob Fuglsang (Astana), Peter Sagan and Roman Kreuziger (Tinkoff), Ben Gastauer, Cyril Gautier and Alexis Gougeard (AG2R-La Mondiale), Wilco Kelderman and George Bennett (Lotto-Jumbo), Frank Schleck and Jasper Stuyven (Trek), Jarlinson Pantano (IAM), Pierre Rolland, Tom-Jelte Slagter and Dylan van Baarle (Cannondale), Patrick Konrad (Bora), Ilnur Zakarin (Katusha), Rui Costa (Lampre-Merida), Thomas De Gendt and Tony Gallopin (Lotto-Soudal), Sylvain Chavanel and Fabrice Jeandesbosz (Direct Energie), Julian Alaphilippe (Etixx), Nicolas Edet (Cofidis), Chris Juul-Jensen and Michael Matthews (Orica).

As expected, De Gendt rode away solo to crest the col des Aravis first. He also sprinted to first place atop the col de la Colombière to secure his second place in the King of the Mountain competition against Pantano whereas the polka dot jersey had already mathematically been secured by Rafal Majka (Tinkoff) the day before.

Warren Barguil (Giant) reached the front group right at the top of la Colombière. Daniel Teklehaimanot (Dimension Data) made it across as well on the downhill while eight riders rode away in the valley at half way into the race: I. Izagirre, Nibali, Sagan, Kreuziger, Rui Costa, Pantano, Alaphilippe and Gougeard. Sagan’s effort on the front brought the break’s lead to a maximum of 6.24 over the peloton at km 67.

Pantano almost comes off on the final descent

With 62km to go, Sagan finished his work for Kreuziger who was virtually on the podium but Astana and AG2R-La Mondiale took over from Team Sky at the head of the peloton. De Gendt rode away again on the ascent to col de la Ramaz where he was first again. On the downhill, Pantano and Alaphilippe overtook him to form a new leading duo with 40km to go. They attacked each other within 5km to the top of Joux-Plane but Nibali came across when he heard that he would not be useful to Fabio Aru as the Sardinian was struggling behind the yellow jersey group and lost a lot of time.

With 15km to go, Nibali went solo but a furious chase saw a coming together of three riders at the head of the race 2km before the summit; Izagirre and Pantano joined Nibali in the lead. The Colombian Pantano was designated the most aggressive rider of the day whilst . The Izaguirre opened a gap for himself on the downhill.

The day after Romain Bardet gave France its first stage win, Izagirre did it for Spain as well, making it the tenth nation with a stage victory this year – only five times in the past (1993, 1995 and 2006 with 11, 2002 with 12, 2013 with 13) there were more.

It was also Movistar’s first win of the race in 2016. It validates the teams’ classification second straight victory for the squad from Navarra. As no GC contender took the risk of losing their position, Chris Froome was quietly escorted by Team Sky to the finish while Joaquim Rodriguez moved up to the top ten for his last Tour.

REACTIONS
Ion Izagirre: (Movistar): “It was an amazing day. A victory in the Tour de France, in the Alps, is something every cyclist could dream of. It was a difficult breakaway, with many talented riders, but our legs responded well, and we could crown it in the best of possible ways. It was clear to me that both Pantano and Nibali were good descenders, but when you’ve struggled so much through the stage, you might lack that bit of self-conviction.

That’s why it was clearly set on my mind, ever since the top of the Joux Plane climb, that I had to start the ‘real’ descent at the front to reach the finish solo with at least a few meters. I was focused on keeping the right line and all strength into that downhill, giving 100%; it all went well and we’re super happy about this win.

“At the finish, I could only think about all the efforts and suffering leading up to this victory – they all were truly worth. At the end, it was a good Tour de France for Movistar Team; we all came here with our sights set on the #SueñoAmarillo, but Froome proved to be stronger than the rest of the field. I think that completing this race with a stage win, the team GC and Nairo’s podium place in Paris are phenomenal results. This win goes to Gorka, the whole team, my girlfriend and my little baby, expected to be born in October.”

Rafal Majka (Tinkoff) “We’re happy and I’m pleased to have finished the day safely – I stayed with the GC riders and stayed safe in the finish. I didn’t want to risk it on the descent. The team was all the time at the front today – all the time in the breakaway. We had a lot of time in the breakaways this year – Peter especially is the most aggressive rider and he deserves that accolade.”

“It’s really important for me and my teammates to have won the two jerseys. Oleg is leaving the sport so we wanted to give him something in this Tour to say thank you – three stages and two jerseys. We did it for Oleg after his five years of sponsorship of the team. It’s great because Roman took a top ten in the GC and we have two jerseys going into Paris. It’s been a great Tour de France – at the start we had bad luck, but now it’s much better and we’re really happy. We had bad luck with Alberto but congratulations to Chris Froome for the yellow. I love the race and am really pleased to have my second jersey – I’ll be celebrating tomorrow.”

Jarlinson Pantano (IAM Cycling): “I gave everything on the ascent of the Joux-Plane. I started the descent behind Nibali, but he left a gap. I went on his right in order to overtake him, but I had to unclip because I went too hot into the first corner. In spite of my best efforts, I never was able to get back up front. This is a good 2nd place, but I am convinced I had the victory in my legs. I am satisfied with my Tour, and I am very grateful to the entire team. Without them, I would never have been able to get the stage win and these podium places.”

Adam Yates: “I was never meant to be focused over three weeks of racing. Yesterday I had my only real bad day and I saved myself pretty well. I maintained the white jersey and I’m super happy with that. The podium would have been nice but this is the Tour de France. It’s only my second attempt. I’m happy with my performance and the team is too.”

“Yesterday wasn’t my best day and we ended up just missing out on the podium, but of course I’m super happy,” said Yates at the stage finish. “Barring any bad luck on tomorrow’s last stage to Paris then these should be the final results and I’m very satisfied with what we’ve achieved. I am glad it’s over, it has been a long, tiring three weeks and the team have been fantastic day in, day out.”

Peter Sagan: “I was expecting to be the super combative last year. So, ok, I’m happy with it this year. It seems like the 2012 Tour de France when I won three stages and the green jersey. We made up pretty well for the loss of Alberto Contador but that’s normal because we’re among the best teams in the world. I’m happy to finish this last week of mountains and I’m looking forward to tomorrow in Paris.”

Chris Froome: “I’m pretty sore, all my knee and my back, but my legs were better today than yesterday after the crash. I had that four minutes gap to play with. It gave me a breathing space. I just had to stay in front. It’s a huge relief to cross that finish line. The last 24 hours have been pretty chaotic but my team-mates helped me so much to keep the yellow jersey on my shoulders. It’s an amazing feeling [to win the Tour]. It could be like the first one again.”

Romain Bardet (Ag2R): “It’s a lot of emotion, I’m going to repeat myself but last night we took a lot of time to enjoy it and we were able to go back into it today to retain this second place. We managed the day well. It’s an exceptional performance and we can be proud to have succeeded in these conditions. To be honest, I wanted to finish at the highest position I could in line with my abilities”.

“I really enjoyed myself, I felt comfortable with the leaders, we were able to take risks and create favourable conditions. Its great to ride in this fashion. It will remain an important moment in my career. It was emotionally very strong. I really want to thank all the fans along the roads. It’s exciting to see all those faces thrilled by French riders, it’s a morale booster. I’m glad to play this role as well and be as exemplary as I can.”

“I felt comfortable in the GC leaders group and I took the chance of attacking them. We were successful but only thanks to an important group work.”

Joaquim Rodriguez: “This is great. This is how I wanted to say goodbye to the Tour de France, by suffering and fighting. I am so happy! Yesterday 11th and now 7th. It looks like more than we expected before the stage but in the end this is the position I had in mind before the Tour. In the end KATUSHA did a good Tour de France. We showed we are a team and Ilnur is the future. If Alexander Kristoff could win tomorrow, that would be the cherry on the pie”.

Julian Alaphilippe: “Today it was the final opportunity to do something nice and that’s why I decided to jump in the break. On the Ramaz downhill, I attacked and went with Pantano, another good descender. We worked well together and on Joux Plane I attacked to test the water. On the 10% slopes, I suffered and couldn’t keep up anymore, but I am satisfied with my day at the front and with the result I got.”

Dan Martin: “The weather made the stage different; it was just about surviving out there. Julien Vermote and Tony Martin did a great job for me and I want to thank them for their help. I tried to stay as warm as possible and even though I didn’t feel as good as yesterday, I managed to stay with the yellow jersey group and get safely to the finish. Looking on the GC, I am just six seconds off seventh place, but what really counts is that I am lying around 2:30 off the podium, something I would have never imagined last year. This gives me a lot of confidence for 2017.”

Richie Porte: “It’s a great result but it’s a bit bittersweet to just throw away time like I have done on a few days. I think it leaves me a little more motivated for next year so I look forward to having another go at it. I move on and now I’ve got the Olympics to look forward to so hopefully I’ll take some good form out of this race and have a good go there.”

“Coming down off those descents before the Joux Plane, everyone was just frozen solid. The Joux Plane is not an easy climb and at the pace they set it was quite hard to do anything from it. Geraint Thomas (Team Sky) set a pace that was basically impossible to attack off. It is just a nice day to get done. Every descent we did today was just dangerous and slippery so I don’t think anyone wanted to risk anything, and I think Team Sky had it under control anyhow.”

“It does give me confidence for next year. A few times there I had a bit of bad luck but it’s exciting for next year. I’ll hopefully come back and give it another crack and see what I can do.”

Nairo Quintana: “I finish very happy. Three Tours, three podiums, it’s a lot of joy. We finished this Tour on a stage win but also with the team victory, it’s the first time. We did the best we could. We were rewarded and very happy with Ion’s stage victory. We came with a more ambitious objective, we tried but this is the greatest race in the world. I must be happy with this third place.”

“I suffered from allergies but I felt better in the last couple of days. I thank all the Colombians and the fans who were behind me, they were a great support on this Tour. But Chris Froome was too strong. It’s the third time I lose against him but I’m still happy with our team showing on this Tour and the whole of the season. We showed we were one of the best teams in the world. Now it’s time for Paris and celebrations.”

Bauke Mollema: “It was a rough start,” said Mollema. “I didn’t have a lot of moral after yesterday when the goal to finish on the podium was gone. It was not easy to focus again on today’s stage. I struggled because of the crash yesterday, but today was harder mentally than physically”.

“When I was dropped, I was close to giving up. It was a difficult moment for me there. It’s hard, especially knowing that it would be difficult to move up on GC and after all that happened yesterday. Then I found the legs a bit again, and the will to go again. I have to thank my teammates and director for helping me, motivating me, pushing me. I really needed that today.”

“When I got back [to the peloton], Kim (Andersen, director) was pushing and motivating me,” continued Mollema. “I felt okay on the last climb. Jasper and the guys brought me to the front and then I just went, I just wanted to try. I didn’t feel super, but you never know. I knew it was going to be hard and maybe foolish, but I didn’t want to leave the scene without a fight. I’m glad I did it.”

Vincenzo Nibali: I’ve tried with all my energies but on the final descent Izaguirre was better than me. I wanted to win a stage and I thought I could also have been useful for my Team in the breakaway… I did good in the climb but then on the final wet descent to Morzine I found one rider better than me”.

Fabio Aru: “I’ve suffered a bad day, I cannot say why but on the last climb to Col de Joux Plane I couldn’t follow the group of the Yellow Jersey. Together with my staff we will analyze what has happened to me today; for sure I hadn’t the legs that I had yesterday and two days ago in the ITT.”  … continued after advert
