Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) took his first victory of the 2013 Tour de France in a bunch sprint at the end of the fifth stage, between Cagnes-sur-Mer and Marseille. The Manx Missile was launched by his teammate Gert Steegmans into the final 200 metres at the end of the 228.5km stage, and managed to hold off former teammate Edvald Boasson Hagen (Team Sky) and green jersey Peter Sagan (Cannondale), with German champion André Greipel (Lotto-Belisol) beating Roberto Ferrari into fourth place.
"I usually don't start winning until about the 5th stage of the Tour anyway," Cavendish said afterwards. "This has been pretty much the norm, but we were really motivated today. Orica-GreenEdge did the chasing today which was nice, for once we could sit behind and save it for the end. Jerome Pineau told me about the final climb. I knew it was always going to be difficult. When I turned left I immediately recognised it from one of my first races as a professional. I knew exactly what climb it was as soon as I hit it heading into Marseille, and luckily I held on and I had the whole team around me to take me to the last kilometre."
The break of the day came from Yukiya Arashiro and Kévin Reza (both Europcar), Alexey Lutsenko, Romain Sicard (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Thomas De Gendt (Vacansoleil-DCM) and Anthony Delaplace (Sojasun), who escaped after just two kilometres and managed to get 12’45” clear in the first hour of the stage. The group was down to four inside the final 50km, as an acceleration from De Gendt saw Sicard and Delaplace left behind.
Despite a crash in the peloton inside the final 20km the sprinters’ teams steadily managed to reel in the four remaining breakaway riders. Lutsenko and Reza escaped the other two with 15km left but, despite a last ditch effort from the Astana rider in the closing stages, the break was finally over with four kilometres left.
From there the sprinters’ teams fought for supremacy at the head of the peloton, with Omega Pharma-Quick Step taking it into the final corner with 500 metres to go, and launching Cavendish to the line.
Maillot Jaune Simon Gerrans (Orica-GreenEdge) finished comfortably in the peloton, just behind the sprinters, and so held on to his overall lead going into stage five. A crash halfway back in the peloton saw several riders come down at speed, however, with several more brought to a sudden halt, but all were credited the same time as the stage winner.
Six riders go early and very, very long
Arashiro, Reza, Lutsenko, Sicard, De Gendt and Delaplace escaped the peloton after just two kilometres. Arashiro was the best placed overall of the sextet, just 3’42” behind Gerrans in 75th place after the team time trial, and the Japanese champion was very soon the virtual leader of the race as the peloton allowed the break’s advantage to grow.
De Gendt led the way over the top of the 3rd category Côte de Châteauneuf-Grasse, after 22km, with the peloton crossing 12’15” behind him. The group’s advantage was to peak at 12’45” at the 37km point before the Orica-GreenEdge team - sporting yellow helmets as the leading team overall - began to peg it back.
De Gendt took the single point again over the 4th category Côte de l’Ange, after 93km. The Belgian, having lost a lot of time in the early Corsican stages, clearly seemed to be targeting the mountains classification. The peloton was 10’10” behind as Orica-GreenEdge led it over the top, as the break was heading towards the intermediate sprint, in Lourges at the 102.5km point.
De Gendt took the points again, outsprinting Lutsenko all the way to the line. As the peloton arrived André Greipel (Lotto-Belisol) was led out by his team and managed to hold off the challenge from Alexander Kristoff (Katusha), Peter Sagan (Cannondale) and Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) to take seventh place across the line; the gap was now down to 9’35”.
With 100km to go Lotto-Belisol began to send men forward, to help the chase on behalf of Greipel;the gap began to fall a little faster as Argos-Shimano also began to help out for Marcel Kittel.
Over the top of the 4th category Côte de la Roquebrussanne, with 74.5km to go, it was Arashiro that took the points as he jumped clear of the rest. The peloton was still seven and a half minutes behind the six-man group, as Sicard punctured, but the French-Basque rider was able to rejoin his companions without much trouble.
Lotto-Belisol was now doing the majority of the chasing, with Omega Pharma-Quick Step now also sending men to the front of the peloton but, with 60km to go, the gap to the leaders was still 7’17”.
Six down to four but the chase is now getting serious
Approaching the final 50km the gap was still 6’15”, as De Gendt accelerated in the breakaway and managed to split it in two. Arashiro and Lutsenko managed to stay with the Belgian, but the three Frenchmen were left behind; Reza recovered and managed to make it up to the leaders, however, rejoining his Europcar teammate, but the others gradually began to drift back to the peloton.
With Arashiro still the virtual leader Orica-GreenEdge began to lift the pace sharply, with both Lotto-Belisol and Omega Pharma-Quick Step still involved with the chase. Onto the 4th category Côte des Bastides the gap fell below four minutes, with Arashiro’s virtual lead now just a few seconds, and Sicard and Delaplace were soon enveloped by the peloton; Sicard was almost immediately dropped.
At the top of the climb, with 30.5km to go - as De Gendt led over the line again - the gap was down to just 3’20”, with Gerrans now securely back in the race lead.
Shortly before the 20km to go banner, De Gendt put in a small attack to try to keep the pace high, which was followed by one from Reza. The peloton was now just two minuted behind and, as it hit the succession of short, unclassified climbs toward the finish, AG2R-La Mondiale began to lift the pace at the front, which began to shed riders from the rear.
With 18km to go Arashiro attacked up front, with Lutsenko able to follow, but De Gendt quickly closed the gap with Reza on his wheel. AG2R La Mondiale was still leading the chase, now 1’40” behind, with Argos-Shimano, Saxo-Tinkoff and Team Sky tucked in behind.
The pace of the peloton dropped with 16km to go, however, as several teams looked at one another to take up the pace, and there was a crash close to the front, which brought down several riders. Mountains jersey leader Pierre Rolland (Europcar) was one of those affected, but Christian Vande Velde (Garmin-Sharp) was one of the last to get up as he appeared to be holding his arm.
Omega Pharma-Quick Step and Orica-GreenEdge continued to set a strong pace, as most of the fallen riders made it back to the peloton, cutting the gap to the four leaders to less than a minute with 14km to go. As the break crested the top of the final, unclassified climb, and began the fast descent into Marseille with 12.5km to go, its lead was down to just 20 seconds as French champion Arthur Vichot led the FDJ team at the front of the peloton.
And then there were two... but the peloton is on their heels
On the wide, twisting descent Lutsenko attacked the break, and Reza followed, but Omega Pharma-Quick Step was back on the head of the peloton with Sylvain Chavanel and, at the ten kilometre banner, the two riders were just 12 seconds clear. Shortly afterwards the former French champion led the bunch past Arashiro and De Gendt, as he handed over to teammate Tony Martin.
The pair in the lead had managed to open up their lead a little, however, and were 17 seconds ahead with eight kilometres to go.
Almost the entire Omega Pharma-Quick Step team was lined up on the head of the peloton, with Orica-GreenEdge, Lotto-Belisol and Cannondale swarming behind it, and had the two leaders in sight with six kilometres to go. Both were working hard to hold off the chasers, but Reza was soon forced to sit up and let Lutsenko go, and the tall Frenchman was soon swept up.
Lutsenko was persisting, just metres ahead of the baying field but, with just over four kilometres left, the 20-year-old Kazakh looked over his shoulder and gave in to the inevitable catch.
With the break now over the peloton eased up a little as the sprinters’ teams looked at one another to keep the pace up but, with two kilometres to go Omega Pharma-Quick Step took it up again. Lotto-Belisol surged ahead, however, and led into the final kilometre with Sojasun in the line.
Under the flamme rouge Omega Pharma-Quick Step tried to take back the lead, with a new line going down the opposite side of the road, and led into the final corner with 500 metres left. Steegmans then led Cavendish into the final 200 metres and, once the British champion was up to speed, he was easily able to hold off the challenge of his rivals all the way to the line.
Much of the peloton was stationary in the road behind the sprinters, however, as a big crash blocked the road.
