Dan Martin (Garmin-Sharp) took his first victory in the Tour de France with a two-up sprint victory against Jakob Fuglsang (Astana) in the ninth stage of the 2013 race, between Saint-Girons and Bagnères-de-Bigorre. The two riders escaped the select peloton on the final climb to the 1st category Hourquette d'Ancizan with 35km to go, and managed to hold off the chase on the descent that followed.
The big story of the day however, was fought out in the Maillot Jaune group as race leader Chris Froome was put under pressure by his rivals, with the Movistar team of Alejandro Valverde isolating the British rider. Having lost climbing domestique Peter Kennaugh to an early crash, second place overall Richie Porte found himself dropped midway through the stage, which crossed five categorised climbs in its 168.5km length.
Having got Froome on his own Movistar tried to drop the Maillot Jaune on the final climb, but the Briton was able to respond to all the attacks of Colombian white jersey Nairo Quintana, and was safely in the group as it crossed the top of the final climb. The descent saw a vain chase to close down Martin and Fuglsang, who were 50 seconds clear with 25km to go, but both riders worked hard until the final kilometre to stay clear.
Polish champion Michal Kwiatkowski (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) won the sprint for third place, ahead of Katusha duo Dani Moreno and Joaquim Rodriguez, 20 seconds back.
“Every win is important and special in its own way," said Martin afterwards. "It was such an incredible day today because this team Garmin-Sharp shows such a team spirit. Everyone gave 100 per cent today and some of the guys nearly missed the time limit because they gave so much for my victory. We decided this morning on the bus that I was going to try and win the stage and we've succeeded so it's incredible.
“It's hard to describe how it feels; it's more relief actually because I knew I was the favourite coming into the sprint and I was quite confident... but I still had to do it," the Irishman continued. "So to come across the line knowing that I've won a stage of the Tour de France is amazing. In the end, the scale of the event wasn't on my mind – it was just another bike race. I was so focussed on his wheel and beating that guy in the sprint that I didn't even look behind once to see where the peloton was. It was just a case of focus on the finish line and get there first.
“I think there was a calmness that I developed in the sprint, rather than confidence," he added. "I've always had that sort of calmness, like when I won the ninth stage of the Vuelta it was much the same sort of feeling. In the big situations I seem to be able to relax very well and just be in control and it pays off.”
The stage began with several attacks as numerous riders tried vainly to form the break of the day but, after 65km - and two of the stage’s five climbs - the five man group of Pierre Rolland (Europcar), Ryder Hesjedal (Garmin-Sharp), Romain Bardet (AG2R La Mondiale), Thomas De Gendt (Vacansoleil-DCM) and Bart De Clerq (Lotto-Belisol) established itself.
The Movistar aggression in the peloton behind the five riders meant that they were never able to build a big lead, and they were joined by stage two winner an former Maillot Jaune Jan Bakelants (RadioShack-Leopard) on the Col du Peyresourde at just after halfway through the stage, with Simon Clarke (Orica-GreenEdge) getting across just after the summit.
Clarke then pressed on alone over the top of the Col de Val Louron-Azet, but was rejoined by Rolland, Bardet and De Clercq on the approach to the Hourquette d'Ancizan. Movistar was busy trying to prevent Porte from rejoining the peloton behind them, however, and the four riders were just ten seconds clear as the climb began.
The break was closed down in the early slopes of the climb, and Movistar tried to crack Froome in the kilometres that followed. Nobody reacted to Martin and Fuglsang’s attacks, however, and the two of them rode away to fight out the stage between them.
With Porte losing several minutes, Valverde moved up to second overall, with the rest of the well-placed riders also rising a place. The 20-second gap to the chasers saw Martin rise to eighth as the race headed into the first rest day.
Everybody wants to be in the break so nobody gets away
The fight to get into the break of the day began immediately as Netherlands champion Johnny Hoogerland (Vacansoleil-DCM) attacked as the flag was dropped, with Cyril Lemoine (Sojasun) and Laurent Didier (RadioShack-Leopard), but the trio was back in the peloton after just two kilometres.
There followed several counterattacks, including one from Garmin-Sharp duo Jack Bauer and David Millar after 11km, with the two teammates able to get 35 seconds ahead, but they too were back in the peloton after 21km.
Team Sky seemed to want to allow a group to go, and spread across the road to stop a chase from being organised, but it was at this point that Kennaugh came down as he brushed against a passing Garmin-Sharp rider, and fell into some bushes. The Manxman took some time to climb back onto the road, and had to wait for his team car; he was able to get going again, but was not to feature at the front of the race again.
There were several more attacks on the 2nd category Col de Portet d'Aspet, but nobody was able to get clear, Martin tried to escape near the top, with teammate Tom Danielson, but it was Arnold Jeannesson that took the points after 28.5km.
A 15-man group got clear on the 1st category Col de Menté, with Porte leading Froome at the head of the peloton behind them. The Australian was suddenly dropped by the Maillot Jaune group, however, leaving his team leader alone.
Danielson led the remains of the breakaway group over the top, after 44km, with teammate Ryder Hesjedal and Yuriy Trofimov (Katusha) a little way ahead of Igor Antón (Euskaltel-Euskadi) and Rolland. Quintana was now leading the peloton, putting distance into Porte, who was 1’05” behind his team leader at the top of the climb.
Valverde then attacked on the descent to try to put pressure on Froome’s perceived inferior downhill skills.
Finally a group goes as Movistar gets Froome alone
The 15-man breakaway group reformed on the descent, but Rolland, Hesjedal, Bardet, De Gendt and De Clerq pulled away on the approach to the 1st category Col de Peyresourde after 90km. They were joined by Bakelants halfway up the climb but, with Movistar still setting a strong pace behind them, the six riders were just 40 seconds ahead. This gave Clarke the chance to jump across, and he joined them shortly after De Gendt had led over the top at the 90km point.
Clarke managed to drop the lead group on the 1st category Col de Val Louron-Azet, and was 20 seconds ahead of Rolland, Bardet and De Clercq as the took the points with 58km to go. Movistar was still trying to put pressure on Froome, and keep Porte at bay, however, and was just 1’05” behind the Australian.
The Spanish team kept the pace up on the descent and, as it arrived at the foot of the Hourquette d'Ancizan, it was just ten seconds behind the reformed group. As the climb began many of those riders that had managed to rejoin the yellow jersey group on the descent found themselves dropped again as the breakaway riders were soon swept up.
Froome was tucked in the group, in fourth place on Valverde’s wheel, with Quintana lurking behind him. Contador was behind the Colombian, with Evans and most of the other overall contenders grouped around him.
With seven kilometres still to climb, the gap had widened to 4’45” to the group that contained Richie Porte, and widening. Getting no help from those around him, the Australian now seemed to have no hope at all of rejoining his leader, or preserving his second place overall.
The pace then eased a little but, with 35km to go, the attack that the group had been waiting for happened as Quintana jumped away.
Froome chased down the Colombian, with the rest of the favourites lined up behind him and, within 100 metres, the attack was all over. As the group slowed, however, Martin made his own move and he was allowed to go. Before the Irishman had gone far Fuglsang jumped away in pursuit, followed by Mikel Nieve (Euskaltel-Euskadi); the Astana rider managed to make it up to Martin, but the Basque rider was struggling to get across.
Quintana attacked again for a second, then a third time, with Froome countering each time, which saw Nieve caught.
Kreuziger then moved to the front, with Schleck just behind him, and the Czech began to set a steady rhythm but, with 33.1km to go, Quintana jumped for a fourth time. Froome chased the Colombian down yet again, but the group was getting smaller, and smaller.
Froome himself was then manoeuvred to the front as the others crowded behind him, but Kreuziger then moved up to set the pace again. With 31km to go Wout Poels (Vacansoleil-DCM) jumped away, and was also allowed to go. Martin led Fuglsang over the top of the climb, with 30.5km to go, with Poels following 33 seconds later; Kreuziger led the group over 46 seconds behind the leaders, as the twisting descent began.
Quintana tries one last time as Belkin tries to bring back the breakaway
Quintana hit the front again on the small unclassified climb that followed but, other than setting a hard pace, the Colombian did nothing to try to unseat the Maillot Jaune four riders behind him. Martin and Fuglsang were eking out their lead over the group, while Poels was still marooned in between.
As they sped under the 25km to go banner the two leaders were still 31 seconds ahead of the Dutchman, with the main group now at 50 seconds. Polish champion Michal Kwiatkowski (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) was pulling away from the front of the group again - passing Poels - then Rui Costa jumped a little way clear as Movistar began to try to put pressure on Froome again.
It was Kreuziger that chased the Tour de Suisse rider down, however, as the group eased up a little once more. Gesink then took up the chase, pulling Kwiatkowski back, and closing the gap to the leading duo to 32 seconds with 15km to go.
At the ten kilometre banner the gap was just 25 seconds, but Belkin then looked to the other teams to do some work. Kreuziger game forward but, after a short turn, the Czech rider sat up and the gap began to grow again.
As it reached 30 seconds again Gesink took over once more, but the Dutchman was chasing alone on the steady descent against the two up front, and it had opened up to 36 seconds at the five kilometre banner. The road was beginning to level out, however, as Steve Morabito (BMC Racing) and the Movistar riders joined the chase behind.
Into the final three kilometres both leaders were still working hard, with both having general classification ambitions in mind, and they were holding their lead over the chasers. Under the flamme rouge they were still 33 seconds clear, with Martin having manoeuvred Fuglsang to the front.
The Danish rider slowed, to try to get the Irishman to come by, and the duo’s speed dropped to a mere crawl. With 250 metres to go Martin jumped, however, and hit the final corner first with 150 metres left and held off Fuglsang all the way to the line.
Kwiatkowski took the sprint for third place, 20 seconds later; Froome was safely in the group behind him, having survived the day.
