Tour de France: Stage 15

Bauke Mollema, in his seventh Tour de France, claimed his first stage victory whilst Chris Froome recovered from a mechanical to retain the yellow jersey.

176 riders started stage 15 in Laissac-Sévérac L’Eglise before Tim Wellens (Lotto-Soudal) called it a race quickly as he was suffering from allergies. Ten riders made the first breakaway: Warren Barguil (Sunweb), Dylan Van Baarle (Cannondale-Drapac), Robert Kiserlovski and Tony Martin (Katusha-Alpecin), Tsgabu Grmay (Bahrain-Merida), Giampaolo Caruso (BMC), Serge Pauwels (Dimension Data), Marcus Burghardt (Boar-Hansgrohe), Marcel Sieberg (Lotto-Soudal) and Angel Luis Maté (Cofidis).

Barguil led the way up the first category 1 climb of the day to score ten more points in the King of the Mountains competition. After the Montée de Naves d’Aubrac at km 28.5, Barguil, Van Baarle, Pauwels, Caruso and Grmay realized that an important group was forming behind them, including stage 15 winner Michael Matthews (Sunweb).

After 60km of racing, while the peloton was cruising, 28 riders gathered at the front: Jan Bakelants (AG2R-La Mondiale), eventual winner Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo), Damiano Caruso, Alessandro De Marchi, Amaël Moinard and Nicolas Roche (BMC), Kristjian Durasek and Diego Ulissi (UAE), Thibaut Pinot (FDJ), Serge Pauwels (Dimension Data), Tony Martin, Robert Kiserlovski, Maurits Lammertink (Katusha), Tiejs Benoot, Thomas De Gendt and Tony Gallopin (Lotto-Soudal), Michael Matthews, Warren Barguil and Simon Geschke (Sunweb), Luis Angel Maté and Dani Navarro (Cofidis), Primoz Roglic (LottoNL-Jumbo), Lilian Calmejane and Romain Sicard (Direct Energie), Dylan Van Baarle (Cannondale-Drapac), Tsgabu Grmay (Bahrain-Merida), Romain Hardy and Pierre-Luc Périchon (Fortuneo-Oscaro). Team Sky led the peloton mostly with a deficit of five minutes.

The 28 leaders had an advantage of 5.45 with 100km remaining. A time gap of 7.15 was recorded with 75km to go. Martin tried his luck in a solo move 66km away from the finish while a maximum deficit of 9.15 was recorded for the main peloton. Before the unprecedented ascent to col de Peyra Taillade, Chris Froome had a mechanical and with team cars not close, Froome’s team-mate Michal Kwiatkowski gave him his back wheel.

The race leader eventually made it across to the Aru-Bardet group led by AG2R-La Mondiale but after a very demanding effort. Meanwhile, 3km before the summit, Barguil brought Martin back and continued to claim ten more KOM points at the top.

The climbing was having its effect on the leading group and with 30 kilometres to go, a group of nine riders was all that was left out front and from that, Mollema rode away solo five kilometers further.

He was chased down by Ulissi, Barguil, Gallopin and Roglic but managed to stay nineteen seconds clear of them at Le Puy-en-Velay. The race remained eventful till the end in the group of the favorites, as Adam Yates (Orica-Scott) and Louis Meintjes (UAE) attacked each other for the white jersey and Dan Martin (Quick-Step Floors) also had a go.

The main loser of the day among the big names was Nairo Quintana (Movistar) who completed the stage several minutes adrift after blowing up to col de Peyra Taillade that certainly added to the great spectacle of stage 16 ahead of a well deserved rest day.

Bauke Mollema: “This is for sure my biggest win. I just can’t believe it! This is what I have worked so hard for the last few years. The Tour de France has always been the most important race for me, always been my dream, and finally I have won a stage,” he said. “I am incredibly happy.”

“The last kilometers were really hard. I knew I had to try because I am not so explosive and I would not have won the sprint,” explained Mollema about his attack. “I was pushing all the time, and in one moment it came back to 11 seconds. At that moment, I was thinking I have to go; I don’t want to lose it now!

“So with two kilometers to go, I just gave everything I had. Yesterday I had seen the last six kilometers on Google maps, so I knew the corners more or less, so I didn’t blow up, I could keep going to the finish line.”

“Then in the last kilometer I knew I still had 10-15 seconds, so at that moment I knew I was going to make it. The last few hundred meters were so nice. I could really celebrate, enjoy all the people, and enjoy winning a Tour de France stage. I will never forget this,” he added.

“At the beginning of the stage I was close to not making it [in the break],” said Mollema. “A breakaway went with 10 guys and a lot of teams wanted to block the road, and we were not able to pass, and they took like one and a half minutes. Finally, Michael Gogl and Koen De Kort could pass, they went through the grass to get to the front! They did an amazing job, and because of them is why I could win”.

“They kept the speed high in the peloton until the first climb and then I pulled from the bottom. I didn’t get much help, I pulled the whole climb, but finally we got away with 25 guys and could bridge to the five ahead. After that, I had to recover because it was a big effort.”

On the break of Tony Martin, Bauke explained “I saw Tony Martin that he attacked on a small descent earlier, and I knew that I could keep going once I am in the front. When I looked back, and I saw a small gap in that descent I just went all-in from that moment. Alain (Gallopin, director) was motivating me and giving me time gaps. I don’t think I have ever did so long an attempt at riding alone, it was close, but in the end, I made it. I think this means a lot for the team – we really wanted to go for it today.”

“I have never been on the podium in the Tour de France, so this is really special to be there. I have been close a few times in the last five years, and today was just my day. Yeah, I am really happy.”

Dan Martin: “Everybody was on their limit on the last two climbs, and it’s really no surprise, as this week has been brutal. After the last ascent, I noticed how tired everyone was and how they kept looking at each other, so I said to give it a try. Can’t say the plan at the start of the day was to attack, I just seized the opportunity. I am happy with my legs and now I’m looking forward to the rest day. After this, we’ll see what the last week holds and what I can do in the Alps”, said Dan Martin at the finish Le Puy-en-Velay, where he climbed one place in the general classification, to fifth, just 1:12 behind the overall leader.

Marcel Kittel: (Green jersey) “It’s no surprise if I say I am tired, everybody is after all these brutal stages in the Pyrenees and the Massif Central. The Tour has been really tough so far and I expect a very hard final week”, explained Marcel. “I have a nice lead in the points classification, but many things can still happen in the last stages and I’ll continue to fight for this jersey. I am focused and motivated to make it to Paris, so let’s hope for the best.”

Simon Yates: “I like to race aggressively and today was one of those days I could do that,” Yates said. “I was trying to sneak away, like I did the other day, and get some seconds. It didn’t work out, but that’s OK, it’s worth trying and I gave it a go. I had good legs and you look at how close the race is. I could have possibly gained 10 seconds, 15seconds maximum, but I think every second will count when it comes to Paris.” At the conclusion of 15 days of racing Yates sits seventh overall, two-minutes two-seconds behind race leader Froome.

Chris Froome: “I broke a spoke coming into the bottom of the last climb. My wheel wasn’t straight anymore so I think it was a broken spoke but I’m not sure. I’m grateful I was able to come across because it was a critical moment. Thanks to my team mates who helped me, I save myself. Many people were happy to distance Nairo Quintana. We still have difficult roads ahead of us, especially in the Alps. I’ve had a difficult day in the Pyrenees but I feel much better now. I hope to keep the yellow jersey until the time trial in Marseille. But I expect some more aggressive racing in the Alps. We knew it would be tight on GC because of very few summit finishes and very time trials but I’m very grateful that I’m on the right side of the time split. I prefer to be ahead on GC at this point than having to make up time.”

Nairo Quintana: “It was a very demanding stage and I really felt the wear of the previous ones. Sadly, I’m not really recovering, as I expected to do at this point of the race, and I lost time again today. Your mind always wants to go more than the body does, but when this doesn’t want to work, it simply doesn’t respond. We must continue to fight in this week remaining. We must look onwards and not surrender. I don’t know which our goal will be on the final stages of this race, because our main goal now is to recover.“

Warren Barguil: “The goal for today was to get into the break and to take some points in the sprint and KOM. We had three guys in the break which was a good situation for us and we were able to reach both of those goals. I’m pleased with the lead that I have but its still a long way to Paris so I will continue to attack and try to add to it.”

Tony Gallopin: “Congratulations to Mollema for his performance. He was the driving force in the breakaway and he was very strong on the climbs of first category. Together with Barguil, Roglic and Ulissi, we did everything we could to catch him, but it was almost an impossible task. I had already finished second behind Mollema in the Clásica San Sebastián, so I knew it wouldn’t be easy to catch him.”

“It is unfortunate that I couldn’t sprint for the first place, but I think that this was the maximum for me. I am still feeling well in the Tour after fifteen stages. That gives me a lot of courage for the second week and I hope to follow-up this performance.”

Damiano Caruso: (loves up to 10th on GC) “I hoped there would be a big breakaway and this morning I was motivated to do this. In the end, the breakaway went with good riders. We missed the big goal of the day, the stage win, but of course it was a good result for us because we did a big jump in the GC. Now, finally we have a rest day and we approach the last week really motivated.”

“My teammates did a really good job, it was amazing. They helped me to keep the tempo high in the breakaway and in the end, Nicolas Roche was top ten on the stage. It’s not a really, really big result because we wanted to win the stage, but it’s not bad.”

Nicolas Roche: “I think that the particularity of this Tour de France is that there are so few mountain stages that every single one of them is raced flat out, and this one was no different. It was some battle to be in the breakaway. I think the team managed pretty well. At some stage we even had Greg Van Avermaet and Danilo Wyss with us so we almost had six in that group. We fought very hard to be there and I think we raced well. When they attacked us on the last categorized climb we just couldn’t follow and we rode as hard as we could, the two of us.”

“Damiano Caruso was looking to do two things. When you are at the front you have your fingers crossed that it will work out for the GC but obviously also having a go for the stage win. I think Damiano showed that he was riding very well in the Pyrenees and I think it will be good to have him in a good position in the last two stages in the Alps.

Romain Bardet: “The plan was to take advantage of a stage and a parcours that I know well, and we wanted to put our closest competitors under pressure.I definitely want to salute my teammates who did a phenomenal job.I had a lot of fun, and I also want to thank the fans on the side of the road who gave me so much support that carried me to the finish. We can really be proud of what we did today. There are still six fantastic stages to go; we have to remain humble: we are competing in the most beautiful race in the world.”

Fabio Aru: “Today it was a tough and unpredictable stage. But, I felt quite well and my team did a very good job, supporting me during the stage. I tried to hold the concentration, especially when the team of Romain Bardet increased the pace on the climb. It was a strong move, the speed was really high, but I tried to stay in front to control possible new attacks. The final was very fast. There was a short climb not far from the finish, but it was not steep enough for a successful attack. Somebody from our group tried to escape, but it did not work. So, tomorrow is a long-waited rest day. I want to rest and recover as well as possible. We have a whole week of racing, six stages, all very important. So, the fight is continuing, – said Fabio Aru.
