Tour de France: Stage 10

A sprint stage turned into a GC battle royal as crosswinds combined with attacking riding from Ineos & Quickstep to split the GC favourites; winner of the stage was Wout van Aert who opened his TDF account beating the likes of Sagan, Ewan and Viviani to the line

Tour de France: Stage 10

Wout van Aert claimed his first Tour de France stage victory in Albi, the fourth for Jumbo-Visma and the third for Belgian riders, at the end of an eventful stage 10 to Albi. A lot of damage was done by Team Ineos as they managed to split the bunch into pieces in the crosswinds and gained a lot of time on Thibaut Pinot, Jakob Fuglsang, Richie Porte and Mikel Landa, considering that it was a fairly flat stage. Julian Alaphilippe retained the yellow jersey.

171 riders took the start of stage 10 in Saint-Flour. Lilian Calmejane (Total Direct Energie) was first to attack right after the flag off as he was determined to win in his hometown of Albi but he was reined in and another group managed to take off, composed of five riders: Tony Gallopin (AG2R-La Mondiale), Natnael Berhane (Cofidis), Anthony Turgis (Total Direct Energie), Mads Würtz Schmidt (Katusha-Alpecin) and Odd Christian Eiking (Wanty-Groupe Gobert).

Michael Schär (CCC), the most aggressive rider of stage 4, bridged the gap at km 12 to make it a six-man breakaway that satisfied the peloton. Sprinters teams, namely Deceuninck-Quick Step, Lotto-Soudal and Jumbo-Visma maintained the time difference below three minutes until it reached 3’05’’ with 140km to go.

When the cross winds came 73km before the end, Team Ineos and Bora-Hansgrohe profited from a strong side wind to put the hammer down. It brought the gap down quickly. The time difference was only 25’’ at the bottom of the côte de La Malric (km 164.5) but the peloton slowed down up the hill and the advantage of the six leaders was back to two minutes with 50km to go. As a consequence of this hard racing, Calmejane was among the riders in difficulty as the Tour de France entered the Tarn province he hails from. Another strong action 33km before the finish split the peloton in three with George Bennett (Jumbo-Visma), fourth on GC, getting trapped in the third peloton on the road after he went back for bottles.

25km before the end, the six escapees got swallowed by the yellow jersey group led by riders from Ineos and Movistar while Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ), Richie Porte and Giulio Ciccone (Trek-Segafredo), Rigoberto Uran (EF Education First), Vincenzo Nibali (Bahrain-Merida) and Jakob Fuglsang (Astana) were trapped in a second group and George Bennett (Jumbo-Visma) in the third peloton.

The Pinot-Fuglsang group was 20’’ behind with 20km to go and 15’’ behind with 15km to go. Mikel Landa (Movistar) was hampered by a mechanical. Ineos and Deceuninck-Quick Step kept pulling at the front and the gap increased significantly in the last 15km. On the finishing line, after Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) pipped Elia Viviani (Deceuninck-Quick Step) on the line with Caleb Ewan (Lotto-Soudal) in third place, the deficit of the Pinot-Fuglsang group was 1’40’’ and Landa completed the stage 2’08’’ after the yellow jersey peloton that included defending champion Geraint Thomas and his team-mate Egan Bernal.

Reactions

Wout van Aert: “I can’t believe it”, said Van Aert, still a rookie at World Tour level, about his stage victory in the Tour. “It’s not easy to win here. Over the past ten days I have experienced how great this race is. To win during my Tour debut is great. Today, everything falls into place for me. The fact that echelons were created, was not ideal for us. Both Dylan and George were not with us. Though it gave me an opportunity and I took it. I started the sprint from afar. Viviani came up strong, but in the end I could take the win. This shows how strong we are as a team. In addition to the team time trial, we’ve also won three sprints with three different riders. I hope it also gives Steven, our leader for the general classification, a boost.”

Julian Alaphilippe: “We didn’t plan to split the bunch. We only expected the stage to be nervous and tricky. Our intention was only to protect my yellow jersey and to focus on a sprint with Elia Viviani. We knew precisely at which kilometre there was a risk of crosswinds. All teams gave the same instructions. There was a lot of stress and pressure in the peloton and when it split, everyone expected it, then we did the maximum. It was not my goal to gain time over the favourites. My plans on GC haven’t changed. Anything that can happen from now is just bonus.”

Geraint Thomas: “It’s a really good day for us in the end. We had a little go earlier, but the conditions weren’t quite right. EF and Quick-Step both had a go too, so we just had to make sure we were ready. We were in the perfect position when it split – we all committed when we needed to. When they tried to close it as quickly as possible but couldn’t manage it, that’s when the elastic snapped and we really gained a bit of time.”

“It’s a good gap now – and we’ve landed a good blow on a day when you wouldn’t really have expected it. To gain a minute and a half due to a positioning error on their part is great from our point of view. In the end it’s a really good day for us.”

Dylan van Baarle: “It’s not only in the mountains where you can gain time, we have a strong team for days like today too and that’s what we showed. Maybe EF pushed the pace at the wrong moment and then they blew up a little bit after going full gas and it worked out pretty well for us.”

Tim Wellens:“Had I been told before the Tour de France that I’d be wearing a distinctive jersey at the time of the first rest, I would have signed up for it. It’s a very nice feeling. In the past I struggled when it was very hot, that’s why I went to Dubai to test some equipment, drinks and supplements. It helps me really. I hope to have the legs to go in breakaways in the Pyrenees and score more points.”

Adam Yates: “What can you say? It was pretty chilled out in the beginning, then all of a sudden it went warp speed! Good job I had guys around me, especially Matteo. As soon as it went in the gutter we were there at the front swapping off and doing turns, I’ve never done that before, that’s a new experience. But all in all a good day.”

Mikel Landa (lost two minutes due to crash): “It was a ‘shock’. At one moment I was on my bike, and at the very next one I was on the ground, surrounded by spectators. Fortunately, I have no injuries. I was able to continue in one piece, and my team-mates really helped me a lot in a difficult situation. It’s ‘just’ a time loss – and the goal we came here for further away.”

Nairo Quintana: “When Mikel suffered that incident, the whole team stopped to support him while the two of us, Alejandro and myself, remained ahead to protect my position. We couldn’t really do much after that – just not to lose time ourselves. I finished OK, recovering some time against many contenders we were behind at today’s start. I’m gaining places in the GC, and just hope that my body and legs will respond well after the rest day.”

Alejandro Valverde: “It was awful to hear of Mikel’s crash. I didn’t see it. It was all going really well: we had got through the echelons in a perfect position, with pretty much everyone at the front, and at a certain point, we heard on the earpiece: ‘Crash Landa, crash Landa’. It was such a nervous stage, almost from the neutralized start, actually. Let’s hope those blows don’t hamper his performance. We will continue to fight with him and Nairo, who finished with me, to finish as high as possible in the GC.”

Michael Matthews: “It was a hectic stage today with the crosswinds,” explained Matthews at the finish. “The guys were switched on and six of us made the front split. Coming into the finale they did a good lead out – it’s disappointing to come fourth after the work the team did but there are more opportunities to come in the race and we’ll keep trying.”

Peter Sagan: “It was a very nervous day with lots of crosswinds and continuous attacks. You had to stay focused and alert every single kilometre of the stage. I think we did a good job, Emu and Patrick finished in the leading bunch and gained some time. As expected, we had a fast sprint finish. It was a bit tense but still, my fifth place and the points in the intermediate sprint maintain my lead in the points classification.”

Richie Porte: We knew it was coming, but when they put it in the gutter there on the left-hand side, I was the last guy to not get across. It was just a power thing – and I just wasn’t up for it today. It’s disappointing but the race still goes on. There were quite a lot of GC guys in my boat as well, so I guess now we all have to do something but there’s still a lot of hard racing to come.

Giulio Ciccone (57th, former yellow jersey) explained: “Everything happened in a moment that nobody expected. We knew there was a danger of echelons, but that was earlier in the stage. We had been attentive at the front on all those dangerous moments, and in the end, the echelons happened at a place unforeseen. I think it all happened a bit by coincidence, but the gap was only two meters and at the beginning, it looked like it was nothing and we could close it right away. Unfortunately, in the first group they realized quickly some GC-riders had missed the cut and they started giving it their all and we couldn’t do anything against it anymore.”

“This is definitely a hard lesson learned for me. It’s a hard kick, both physically and mentally, but I won’t let my head down, there’s still plenty of stages to come. Personally, I think I can be happy with my first week in the Tour, two days in yellow, then two days in white, and still 10th in GC, but I am very disappointed and I feel sorry for the team. The Tour is still long and we will see how it goes. Tomorrow we will enjoy our rest day and on Wednesday we take off again, with renewed motivation.”

Greg Van Avermaet: “We knew there would be a lot of wind, the whole day tailwind with a lot of crosswinds too in moments. So, you had to be really in front in the last 100 kilometers so that’s what I tried to do, you never know especially when there is a lot of stress. You know that days like this can happen and I think I rode quite well to always be there and try to do as good as possible.”

“I lost a lot of positions in the last kilometer and I’m a bit disappointed about my sprint because I think on a finish like this I had the legs to do much better than tenth place. I had to stop because Richeze (DQT) was in-between two guys and this cost a lot of places I think. I think if I could have started earlier closer to the first guy, I could have done much better because I have won a few times on uphill sprints like this. So, I am disappointed in my sprint today.”

“It will be nice to have the rest day tomorrow. You can’t go on forever like this and it’s important to reset and look ahead to the second week. We’re all motivated to keep trying and hopefully, get a stage win.”

Michael Schär: “We tried to race aggressively, as we have every day, and have someone in the breakaway today. We missed out yesterday and we were really disappointed. I was able to go and jump to catch the five guys in front, so it was good to have someone in front, but this used a lot of energy. Once again, the peloton didn’t let us go too far ahead but you never know what will happen. When our advantage went out again I started to think maybe we have a chance and I tried to encourage the other guys because when you stay together as a group, you have a better chance of staying away. In the end, we were caught. Thinking of Paddy and Alessandro really motivated me today.

Dan Martin: “Even from the first kilometre it was stressful. Everybody knew with the wind it was dangerous and when you have over 200km when it can happen at any moment, you always need a bit of good luck to be in the front. I was always in the top-20 and it was a fight to be there. When Deceuninck and Ineos made the move, Sven came up to me and worked in the wind and brought me to the front. Jasper was there too which was perfect for the sprint. Anything can happen on any day of the Tour and today for us was a good day. We were really focused to make the splits so it’s a really nice way to go into the rest day”.
