Tour de France: Stage 3

Bora Hansgrohe Press Release
On stage 3, the terrible weather gave way to blue skies today, and the impact on the peloton in today’s Tour de France stage was clear – the BORA-hansgrohe team did themselves proud, pushing hard the entire day before ferrying the UCI World Champion, Peter Sagan, to the line to take his first win of this year’s race and BORA-hansgrohe’s first at the Tour de France.

Even an unclipped pedal in the final sprint wasn’t going to stop the Slovak rider taking the win – his eighth in total.

The Tour de France made its way into France today, with a stage finishing in the north-eastern town of Longwy after a day spent first in Belgium, before moving into Luxembourg and finally France for the final 28km of the 212.5km route.

With the change in countries came a change in weather – the rain that has blighted the first two days holding off for day three. Five categorised climbs dotted today’s stage, giving the KoM contenders a few hills to stretch their legs on. The undulating terrain meant the finale was likely to be contested by the all-rounders – although there was every chance a committed break could last to the finish, or a late attack might take the win.

Two attacks early on in the day became a group of six, and this was the day’s breakaway. With a long way still to go to the finish, the peloton allowed the escape to go up ahead, taking a more leisurely approach to proceedings. While the break was eager to build their advantage and push on, their lead never broke much more than four minutes. A three-man attack with Thomas DeGendt bridged to the break, giving the escapees renewed vigour, but the strain was beginning to show, and the peloton had really started to chase.

The finish was just 30km away, and the break was being caught one by one, and by the 15km point there was just one rider out in front and he had only thirty seconds in hand over the peloton. With the catch made at 10km to go, it was just a matter of waiting to see if a late attack would take the win, or a group of all-rounders would fight it out amongst themselves.

With teams nervously eyeing each other up, the BORA-hansgrohe riders were keeping UCI World Champion, Peter Sagan, safe ahead of what was bound to be a hotly-contested finish. The short, punchy climb was far from easy – with a maximum gradient of 11% in the mid-section, but Emanuel Buchmann and Marcus Burghardt were driving the pace hard before the finish, with Rafał Majka taking over in the final kilometre.

The line just a few hundred metres away, the sheer power of the Slovak rider ripped his shoe out of his pedal. For any other rider this would have been the end, but Peter calmly clipped back in and regained his rhythm, throwing his bike over the line to take the win – his eighth Tour de France stage victory and the BORA-hansgrohe team’s first in this prestigious race.

After the team had worked so hard for him all through the day, first to draw in the break, and then to take him to the finish, Peter immediately thanked his teammates for their role in his win. “First I’d like to thank all my BORA-hansgrohe teammates – they did an amazing job today. They were pulling all day on the front and it wasn’t easy, with the headwind and the technical section at the end – it was really stressful in the peloton”.

“Then in the end it was a pretty hard climb – BMC did a good job for Richie Porte who then attacked in the last 800m. He created a small gap and went to the front, then I decided to go for it, but we were still at 400m to go and it was too early. It was still far away and I said to myself that again I was in the wrong position. Then I started my sprint and I unclipped – again I thought ‘another mistake – what’s going on today?’ but I went ahead. Matthews nearly beat me, but I made it. I’m so happy with this victory”.

Roundup of other reactions

Dan Martin sprints to third: “The best way not to lose time is to go for the stage win. I’m really happy with how it went. I found the first part of the climb not so hard, but things changed once Richie attacked and lined out the peloton”, a satisfied Dan Martin explained after the stage. “The sprint was very long and I knew it was very important to bide your time. So I sat on Matthews’ wheel and launched my sprint when I sensed everybody was in the red. I never thought I would sprint against those guys, so to get this result at the end of such a hard day makes me very happy and confident. A big shout-out to my teammates, who did everything to bring me in the best position for this finish.”

Geraint Thomas: “We were a little bit far back going into the climb so we had to make a bit of an effort to move up before the corner just before Richie attacked and we stayed around that sort of position then. It’s a good day because it was stressful out there. Once the other three guys jumped across to the break it made the peloton really speed up then. It was left and right, there was a bit of street furniture… it certainly wasn’t a relaxing ride but I’m happy to have got through it unscathed with Froomey.”

Richie Porte: “I was put in a fantastic position there in the final. I felt good but with 500 meters to go, I knew it was a bit too far out. I think it’s good for the team. They were really strong today so it’s a shame we couldn’t quite finish it off. For the last 40km it was a hell of a fight. It was a dangerous and tricky final so it was nice to get through that one unscathed. All of the guys chipped in today and they were really strong. It’s good for the confidence to have a bit of a crack.”

Greg Van Avermaet: “I think Richie did a hard job. Everyone was a little bit ‘à bloc’. Even Peter Sagan left a gap a little bit. Then, it was just about timing. I wanted to go a little bit earlier and surprise Peter a bit and take his wheel. But then he lost his pedal and he restarted his sprint again with me next to him and in the wind. This killed me a little bit I think. The team kept a good position for both of us, Richie and I. We had both options to play and I think this is the best approach to not lose time. Maybe you gain some seconds over the other guys if you are at the front of the peloton so for me it is the best solution to do what we did today. I felt great support from my team.”

Nat Brown: KoM Leader: “If you had told me I’d be the one to take the jersey, I would have told you that you were crazy, even this morning,” Brown said. “Obviously we had Phinney – if he had the aptitude to go into the break again today. It’s a tall task to ask someone to go into back-to-back breaks. Dylan [van Baarle] was our second guy. I was third on the list.”

“The peloton completely blocked the field,” said Brown. “They weren’t going to let anyone by, but there was this Wanty guy that really, really wanted in on it, and I knew that. I stuck on his wheel. We got to this section where he could use a dirt road on the side to go around. I went with him, and we made it across.”

Brown attacked on the first KOM to take the only point available on Côte de Sart. Politt out-sprinted Brown to the single point on offer on the second climb, the Côte de Wilzt. The pair gained a gap over their breakaway companions en route to the next climb, the category three Côte d’Eschdorf, that came 15-kilometers after climb two. “We each had one point, and I thought ‘Oh boy. The third climb really matters’,” said Brown. “It was just the two of us away, and I didn’t trust my sprint. I knew if I took him to the very end he’d out-jump me.”

“I went early, with two kilometers to go, maybe too early, but it didn’t matter,” said Brown. “It paid off. I got the points.” The remaining points would be contested in the final 20 kilometers, and Brown expected the peloton to swallow up the break before the last two climbs.

“I had Charley [Wegelius] in my ear telling me that I had it,” Brown said. “He told me that someone would need to win the category four sprint at 20 kilometers and the stage to take it from me. I was fairly confident that wouldn’t happen, but I wasn’t going to get excited until I reached the finish and stood on the podium. I’m overwhelmed with joy,” said Brown. “I never thought in a million years I’d be in the polka dot jersey at the Tour. I have no words. I’m speechless. I really don’t know what to say.”

Michael Matthews: “Today didn’t go as we had hoped, we got a little bit lost on the last climb and we had to revaluate and try something different. We’ll see what happens in the next stages, we have a lot more stages to come with more opportunities.”

Nairo Quintana: “It’s beautiful to see all the Colombian fans supporting us at both the starts, finishes and the whole route. It’s really charming. We got through a dangerous day, one with a lot of stress, and that’s the important thing in the beginning of a Tour de France. Thanks to the support of the whole team we got safely through the day, and I finish really calm about all we did today.”

Jakob Fuglsang “I knew the final part of the stage, because I was here to check the route. It was crucial to stay in front on the descent before the last climb and to start it among the first as well. The team supported me really well, especially Bakhtiyar Kozhatayev. The climb was hard and fast, but I did it quite good. I can say, I felt well today, especially in the final”.

Alberto Contador: “In the finale, okay, I lost some positions, but in the first half kilometre, I came to the front, and when Richie attacked in front of me I decided to go with him,” explained Contador. “But the wind was very strong, and in the end it was better to back off and go more calm and stay with the others.”

“I think I could have followed [Richie Porte], but if I fight just for him then I risk not being able to stay with the others, so I preferred to wait for the other guys to close the gap. I think it was the right decision because after the guys with more power than [the GC contenders] went for the sprint, and then if I had attacked, maybe I cannot follow.”

“So far these three days I feel good. Today I was not thinking to take time, it was more important to stay safe, not crash, and not lose any time to the rivals. It was a good day – we made it through without any problems, and this is the most important.”

John Degenkolb: “I just did my job today, it’s what I am here for,” said John Degenkolb after his diligent work in the fierce battle to the bottom of the climb. “I will get much better chances than today because it was not the best finish for me, it was quite a tough climb, and in my opinion, too hard for me. I am very happy that I could do a good job to the bottom of the climb. It was nice to work for the team, this is what cycling is about, to work together, to approach one goal together, and if everyone does his job, it’s an amazing feeling.”
