News: Uran wins dramatic stage nine

Team Press Release

Cannondale Drapac rider Rigoberto Uran won a crash-filled stage of the Tour de France in dramatic fashion on Sunday.

The Colombian, riding with only two gears due to a late race mechanical issue, won a six-up sprint in Chambéry. To add to the drama, the race jury required finish line photos to declare Uran the winner ahead of Warren Barguil (Team Sunweb).

The stage nine victory is Uran’s first Tour de France stage win and his first victory in Cannondale-Drapac #GreenArgyle. “It’s unbelievable,” said Uran. “I didn’t think it was true. I was actually leaving for anti-doping control when they told me I had won. It’s a huge surprise for me.”

“When there was the crash of Richie Porte and Dan Martin, Martin hit my gear and broke it,” Uran added. “I did the whole descent with a broken gear, and I was thinking that I had to find a way to save the day.”

Save the day he did. The descent off Mont du Chat concluded with around 14-kilometers still to race. Uran’s derailleur hanger was bent, and his shifting was broken when he paid a visit to the Mavic neutral support car where Mavic mechanic Max Ruphy put the chain in the biggest gear, the 11. Uran was left with two gear options: 53/11 and 39/11

“When we knew we had the problem with the rear derailleur, first we made the decision to go to the line with the bike like that,” said head sport director Charly Wegelius. “He could have stopped within the last three kilometres and changed his bike and gotten the same time, but we wanted to win”.

“Without the ability to change gears, he needed a long sprint,” Wegelius added. “We told him to go for a long one. We gave him the information about where to be. He did great.”

Jakob Fuglsang (Astana) opened the sprint at 350 meters. First Romain Bardet (AG2R La Mondiale) burst past Fuglsang. Then Uran jumped in front of them both. Meters before the finish, Barguil pulled alongside Uran. The Dutchman celebrated across the line.

“I saw the TV pictures, saw Barguil raise his hand,” said Wegelius. “Then literally seconds later came the text message from Tissot timing with the Tour results. We get those every day, and it said Uran had won. I believed it, but Andreas [Klier] wasn’t so sure. We just kind of sat there quietly for a few moments. It was intense.”

“It’s the Tour de France. It’s the biggest race in the world. To win here is a huge accomplishment,” said Slipstream Sports CEO Jonathan Vaughters. “This means a tremendous amount to our entire organization. I couldn’t be prouder of this team at every level. The staff and the riders deserve this. I’m so happy for them. For us.”

Before the descent, the crashes, the mechanical issues and the winning sprint, there were seven climbs, including three hors categorie mountains, to master. Uran conserved in the peloton as his teammates went on the attack. Dylan van Baarle and Pierre Rolland made up a large breakaway group that escaped on the category two climb that began from kilometer zero.

Rolland and Van Baarle lost pace with the leaders over the hors category Col de la Biche. By this point, the peloton had been halved and was seven minutes behind the leaders.

The descent off Col de la Biche further split the breakaway, further thinned the field and saw several key riders crash on the wet pavement. Geraint Thomas (Team Sky) exited the race with a broken collarbone.

Up and over the Grand Colombier, only five riders from the original 40 front-runners remained ahead of the peloton. Uran looked comfortable, as comfortable as anyone can possibly look up the Colombier, as the lone Canondale-Drapac representative in a 15-strong yellow jersey group.

The stage was only halfway done.

The race settled into a semi-truce on the gentle roads between the Colombier and Mont du Chat – the only relatively uneventful portion of the 181-kilometer stage – which allowed both the leading group and the yellow jersey group to swell in size.

Uran hit the base of Mont du Chat with two teammates in Rolland and Andrew Talansky. Attacks from the yellow jersey group quickly dispatched those that had lost contact earlier. Barguil, from the early breakaway, reached the summit 25-seconds ahead of the first chase of seven: Porte, Martin, Bardet, Fuglsang, Chris Froome (Team Sky), Fabio Aru (Astana).

Porte crashed heavily on the Mont du Chat descent, bouncing from one side of the road to the other and taking out Martin in the process. Martin bumped into Uran, who managed to stay upright.

Martin was able to scramble back on his bike. Porte was stretchered off the road and into an ambulance.

Bardet risked all in pursuit of Barguil and was rewarded with the catch as the descent ended. The Frenchman didn’t linger long and dropped Barguil on the flat run-in to the finish. Uran, Froome, Aru and Fuglsang caught Barguil with six kilometers remaining and Bardet at the two kilometer mark.

The stage was set for Uran to contend for his first Tour de France stage win.

“Any race is full of emotion,” said Slipstream Sports CEO Jonathan Vaughters. “This one, you know, I was pumped as hell when I saw Rigo going over the top with the first few guys, and when he almost crashed, almost had his derailleur ripped off, I thought: ‘Shit. The black cat strikes again.’

“But the difference between Rigo and pretty much every other bike racer I’ve ever met in my life is Rigo never loses his cool,” said Vaughters. “And that’s why he won today. Even though he had this major mechanical, he never lost his cool for one second. I was nervous. He wasn’t. And that was all the difference in the end.”

With the stage win, Uran picked up a 10-second bonus and an eight place jump on the general classification. The 30-year-old heads into the rest day sitting in fourth place overall, 54-seconds down on Froome.

“It’s a big move up on the general classification,” said Uran. “It was a really good day for me, and there is a lot of Tour still to come.”

Uran’s win at the end of the first week of the Tour is a well-deserved victory for Cannondale-Drapac. The team in green has spent the opening stages on the attack and up the road.

“It was an awesome moment when I found out Rigo had won,” said road captain Simon Clarke. “Everyone has seen the nine stages of work that every rider on this team has put in. Rigo’s win today was a reward for all of that effort. Every day, whichever rider was meant to go into the break, committed 100% to that team plan. I was sure that if we did exactly the team plan every day it would pay off. It could have been any day. Today was the one.”

Other Reactions

Simon Yates: “It was an extremely hard day,” Yates said of the seven-climb, three hors category, stage. “I went super deep, as deep as possible and I finished empty. I gave it everything. I was a bit worried on the final climb because I wasn’t feeling good but the other young guys were already dropped and also in difficulty so I just rode my maximum to the top and also to the finish. Now, I’m just looking forward to the rest day.”

Dan Martin (crashed twice): “I was lucky when Geraint crashed, because his bike touched my handlebars, but my luck ran out at the end and couldn’t avoid Richie on the descent. It was slippery under the trees, he lost his back wheel on that corner, went on the grass and crashed hard. There was nowhere to go for me. It was a bummer to go down again because I couldn’t break after getting a front wheel from the neutral service. On the plus side, I immediately joined a group and was soon flying over the descent. I gave it everything there, rode with the other guys like it was a team time trial and tried to salvage as much as I could”, explained Dan after his amazing all-out effort, which sees him go into the second week of the Tour de France in sixth overall.

Richie Porte Statement: After receiving immediate attention on the side of the road, Porte was taken to hospital for observation where he underwent X-rays. BMC Racing Team Chief Medical Officer Dr. Max Testa explained the nature of Porte’s injuries.

“Richie Porte was transferred to the Centre Hopitalier Metropole Savoie in Chambery where he was evaluated by Dr. Zerr. He underwent X-rays to determine the extent of his injuries. His condition was stable from the beginning, he was responsive and he remembered everything that happened before and after the crash,” Dr. Testa explained.

“X-rays confirmed a non-displaced right clavicle fracture and a non-displaced right acetabulum fracture. Richie also suffered extensive superficial abrasions involving the right side of his body. At this stage, the injuries will not require surgery. The plan is to re-evaluate Richie tomorrow morning and confirm that he is stable enough to be transferred home.”

Dr. Testa confirmed that Porte will require a minimum of four weeks off the bike. “Normally, a fractured clavicle and pelvis would require four to six weeks’ recovery, providing there are no complications. If everything goes to plan, Richie could be back on the bike at the beginning of August and slowly build his fitness up from there. Based on Richie’s recovery, we will re-evaluate his program for the rest of the season in consultation with BMC Racing Team management.”

Chris Froome:  “The guys did a massive job. To control that type of a race today is no easy task and they did it really well. Definitely mixed feelings today,” he said. “Of course I’m happy to still be in the jersey but at the same time that was a crazy stage. I’ve just seen the images of Richie Porte’s crash and that leaves you with a horrible feeling. I really hope he’s alright and can make a speedy recovery. Of course my team mate Geraint Thomas as well, he crashed out today with a broken collarbone, so I’ve got mixed feelings after that stage today.

“The rest of my team… the guys did a massive job. A massive, massive job. To control that type of a race today is no easy task and they did it really well, so chapeau guys. At the bottom of the Mont du Chat I had a bit of a mechanical problem and my gears stopped working, so I had to swap bikes. Also for that, I think Richie was quite instrumental in slowing the group down and basically saying, ‘Guys, this is not the time to be attacking the leader of the race’, so thanks to Richie and I really hope he makes a speedy recovery.

“Tomorrow’s rest day is definitely very, very welcome! I think everyone is pretty wrecked after today, myself included. We’ll definitely sleep in tomorrow and soak that up.”

Nairo Quintana: “We lacked some bit of energy we really needed. We fought all we could, but we lost more time. It’s always difficult to reach optimal form when you chase the goals we went for this year. Fortunately, I could get through a really horrible clash. I don’t know how I managed to avoid it. You’d have to feel so happy only considering that. It could have been worse, we could be out of the Tour.

“Apart from this, we must carry on and keep fighting, see how we feel in the next week. We know we’re not as strong as we wanted, but that’s human nature, you just don’t feel as you want when you wish. You’ve got to know how to get through the most difficult moments. We will go step by step and think calmly about what’s to come, to see if we can find some new way to refocus our race.”

Fabio Aru: “A very tough and dangerous stage we did today. But, our team did it on the high level and we could be happy with the final result. Today, we planned to attack, we had to do it far from the top of the final climb. Thus, I found a good moment on the Mont du Chat and attacked. Honestly, I did not see the moment when Chris Froome has got a mechanical problem. I was fully concentrated on my attacking moment. Later, I was told by radio that Froome had to stop because of a mechanical. So, I stopped as well to wait for him, – explained Fabio Aru.

“The descent from the Mont du Chat was very dangerous, but I tried not to risk too much. In the final we gave our all because there was a chance to fight for a stage and also to get some seconds from the rivals behind. And we did it, – added Fabio Aru.

Jakob Fuglsang: “I knew, that Rigoberto Uran is very fast, so I decided not to wait for the sprint and to attack far from the finish line to surprise the others. It did not work. Anyway, I am very happy with my performance today. I felt really good during the whole day and finally, I was able to move up from 15th to 5th in general classification. That’s great! Together with Fabio Ari we had a plan to attack and to put the pressure on rivals. So, my attack on the Mont du Chat was a part of that plan. In the final all the riders in our group worked for 100%, it was our interest to get as much time as possible from the riders like Quintana. And, of course, there was still a chance for a stage win, – said Jakob Fuglsang.

Alberto Contador: “Today has not been a good day,” said Contador, perhaps the biggest understatement of the day. “Majka fell right in front of me, and I could not avoid him. At that moment, I felt a little powerless, but I tried to recover until Nairo (Quintana) hooked with my bike and I was again thrown to the ground. Although, that in the end, was not as bad”.

“In fact, we went into the break with Bauke and Jarlinson thinking about a possible attack, since yesterday I was restraining myself not to attack, but in the end, it turned out the opposite. It is secondary to say what is hurting me the most; simply the legs have not been as I would have liked and that’s all. Mollema was a great help today. Now we have to think first of all about where I stand, and then, based on that, rethink the race.”

Bauke Mollema: “It was a very tough day, the climbs were very steep,” explained Mollema. “I went away right from the first attack, and I had to keep going full gas until the end to work for Alberto. We only had two minutes at the bottom of the last climb, so then you know it will be hard to race for the stage victory, so I just rode my own tempo, but all in hoping that I could survive the climb and do my work for Alberto afterward.

“I am happy I could go over the top of the last climb with him and that we could work together well on that last part to the finish. I tried to help him on the climb and descent and flat part to the finish, but it was very tough. I suffered a lot.

“Honestly the descents today were too much. The roads were very bumpy, with very tricky corners. The weather made it more dangerous as well: semi-wet roads with some showers. But even on dry roads, you are asking for crashes on these roads.”

Romain Bardet:  “In the end, I wasn’t missing much. The headwind was just a little too strong. It’s too bad. I am disappointed because we absolutely made the race the way we wanted it, but that just wasn’t enough. I was hoping for a lot from the descent off the Mont du Chat.”

“The team was involved in every part of the race, we really took our responsibilities, and there is really not much else we could have done. In the final sprint, I went all in with the speed I still had left, so I really can’t have any regrets tonight. What is disappointing is to get so close to victory, but I am satisfied with how I feel and with how fantastic the team is riding.”

“I am in a virtual podium position. But there are still tons of big battles awaiting us in the Pyrenees and in the Alps. I have no doubt that I was at the same level as the best riders today. I have focused my season on the Tour de France, and I know that everything is still to play for, and I know that I have the heart to be at the front and confirm my Tour performance from last year.”

The sensations are good, the team is ready, and we will be trying to be as strong in each coming day. I did think of taking the yellow jersey while I was descending. It is a dream of mine to wear it one day, but I could not take it by surprise. We’ll have to go and get it pedal stroke for pedal stroke, but I was not far from being able to do so today.”

Warren Barguil: “I think I rode at perfection today. Four years ago, it was me beating Rigo[berto Uran in stage 16 of the Vuelta a España] but today I passed him after the line. After the efforts I made in the breakaway today, I had heavy legs at the end. It’s kind of an exploit I managed to sprint for the win and finish second. I’m disappointed but I’m also proud of the work of the team all day.

I’m proud of myself because not many riders could have taken the breakaway after the efforts I produced yesterday. I was in pain in the first climb. But I felt better later on. It was a marathon stage, something that suited me very well. At the difference of yesterday, I think I rode at perfection today. I didn’t sprint atop the third category climbs to keep my energy for the Hors-Category climbs. The other riders might have thought in the third category climbs that I wasn’t interested in the polka dot jersey but that was my goal today. I’ll go on the offensive again. There are two more weeks to race and I like that.”
