Stage thirteen proves unlucky for Valverde, but lucky for others as Saxo-Tinkoff goes on the offensive
Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) finally took his second victory of the 2013 Tour de France, between Tours and Saint-Amand-Montrond, as the flat 13th stage that proved to be far from a transitional one. The British champion was the fastest of a group of 14 riders that had torn itself from the front of the peloton in the final 32km on a day dominated by crosswinds, as several general classification riders managed to make the split.
Cavendish managed to easily outsprint green jersey Peter Sagan (Cannondale) at the finish, who was the only other sprinter to make it into the lead group, with overnight third place overall Bauke Mollema (Belkin) taking third.
“When echelons form it's similar to falling through ice," explained Cavendish afterwards. "You know you've got, like five seconds to rectify and get in the right position to save yourself or it's finished – it's over. The group went, [teammate Michal] Kwiatkowski just missed it, he left a little gap and I actually did more watts in the sprint over to the front group than I did at the finish sprint. I just managed to get on as the last man and we were away. It was close but it was nice to do it.
“I just had to stay on Sagan in the final," Cavendish added. "We had three of us there and he had two so we could afford to attack in the final and it would mean that his lead-out guy would have to chase. Niki [Terpstra] attacked in the last kilometre and it was Bodnar with Sagan and he had to chase the move down and that meant that if I just stayed on Sagan, then he'd have to hit out in the headwind finish so he was left on the front a bit too early. He knew I was going to come around him. He was happy to save his legs for another day."
The main protagonist was the Saxo-Tinkoff team of two-time Tour winner Alberto Contador, which attacked with six of its riders but, along with Contador, were teammate Roman Kreuziger, Mollema and Laurens ten Dam from Belkin Pro Cycling, and Astana’s Jakob Fuglsang.
With Maillot Jaune Chris Froome’s Sky Procycling team depleted in the peloton behind them, the group managed to open up a margin of 1’09” by the time they reached the finish.
The first half of the 173km stage saw a break from Yohann Gene (Europcar), Ruben Perez (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Luis Angel Maté (Cofidis), Przemyslaw Niemiec (Lampre-Merida), Kris Boeckmans (Vacansoleil-DCM) and Cyril Lemoine (Sojasun), who escaped in the opening minutes. The six riders were never able to open a very wide gap, however, and, when Omega Pharma-Quick Step and Belkin Pro Cycling began to accelerate into the crosswinds, they were soon swallowed up.
Second place overall Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) had initially been in the front of the peloton at the decisive moment, but bad luck saw the Spanish rider puncture as the bunch passed through the feedzone, and he was unable to make it back up to the lead group again. By the time he reached the finish, the Spanish rider had lost almost ten minutes.
With 32km to go though, it was Saxo-Tinkoff that blew the race apart for a second, and more decisive time; hitting the front with six of its riders over the top of a small rise, just as Froome’s Sky team was tiring. Spotting the move, Mollem, ten Dam and Fuglsang managed to latch on, with Cavendish bringing teammates Sylvain Chavanel and Niki Terpstra, with Sagan accompanied by Maciej Bodnar.
Several teams were working at the head of the peloton, but with Saxo-Tinkoff effectively riding a team time trial, the gap steadily opened, until - as Cavendish took his 25th career Tour stage - it was 1’09”.
Froome held on to his yellow jersey, but was now just 2’28” ahead of Mollema, with Valverde dropping out of contention. Contador had risen to third place overall, 2’45” behind.
Six hopefuls escape but never get far as the peloton is about to explode
Gene, Perez, Maté, Niemiec, Boeckmans and Lemoine escaped in the second kilometre, but were not allowed to build a huge early gap as Omega Pharma-Quick Step, Lotto-Belisol and Argos-Shimano took up station at the front of the bunch. The lead was to reach a maximum of 3’50” at the 55km point, however, before all hell broke lose in the peloton behind.
Crosswinds after 60km saw Omega Pharma-Quick Step accelerate and split the bunch into chevrons. Several groups of riders lost contact with the peloton - including one containing Damiano Cunego (Lampre-Merida), Ryder Hesjedal (Garmin-Sharp) and Thomas Voeckler (Europcar). Most of the big sprinters, and general classification leaders were safely in the front group, which had been cut to around 100 riders, but three time stage winner Kittel was in a group 30 seconds behind the main bunch at the 70km point.
The front peloton began to slow a little as the wind dropped, allowing the Kittel group to close the gap, but the sizeable Cunego/Hesjedal/Voeckler group was still a long way back. The Kittel group almost made it back onto the peloton, but the Omega Pharma-Quick Step accelerated again, along with Belkin, as it left the shelter of a village and suddenly the gap opened again.
The other consequence of the aggression on the head of the peloton was that the six-man breakaway’s lead had been slashed to less than 30 seconds with 98km to go.
The group was still a few seconds clear as it began to climb the 4th category Côte de Crotz, but was passed as the gradient proper began. Rolland jumped clear to take the single point at the top, with 95.5km to go, and Kittel’s group followed 50 seconds later.
Through the feedzone with 87km to go, the gap to Kittel’s group was 1’05”, with Hesjedal’s back at 2’15”. Suddenly, with the pace of the peloton still high, second place overall Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) punctured; after taking a new wheel from a teammate, the Spanish rider was 35 seconds behind the peloton as three Movistar riders struggled to pace him back up.
Meanwhile, up ahead, Boeckmans had jumped away again and managed to pull out a small gap. A fifth Movistar rider dropped back to pace Valverde, but he still seemed to be suffering from a technical problem. The gaps were still too small for team cars to be allowed up to the Spanish rider, however, and he was forced to chase on regardless.
Belkin was on the front of the peloton again, helping Omega Pharma-Quick Step to keep the pace high, with Bauke Mollema set to overtake Valverde in the general classification if he was unable to get back on.
Valverde almost makes it back but then loses big time as Belkin turns the screw
Boeckmans was soon reeled in for a second time, but Valverde was still 12 seconds behind the bunch with 82km to go and his teammates were struggling to close the gap. There were now five Movistar riders around their team leader, as Rui Costa was brought back to help, but - as Omega Pharma-Quick Step and Belkin continued to pile on the pressure - the gap was getting wider again.
The Kittel group was beginning to close the gap to the peloton and, with 80km to go, was just 20 seconds behind Valverde and 50 seconds behind the main peloton. Three kilometres later, the Movistar riders were absorbed into the main chase group, and were now 1’05” behind.
Gradually the gap continued to widen, despite Movistar now joining forces with Argos-Shimano and Orica-GreenEdge on the front of the chase group. Europcar - including Rolland - had joined the pacemaking on the head of the main field, however, opening it up to 1’19” with 69km to go.
Despite his team having done little on the front of the peloton, it was Greipel that won the intermediate sprint, in Saint-Aoustrille with 60.5km to go, ahead of Cavendish and Sagan. Valverde and Kittel’s group was 1’15” behind on the line, and was gradually beginning to close.
The Europcar stopped working at the front with 55km to go, as Rolland suffered a puncture and, after briefly attempting to rejoin the main group, the polka-dot jersey drifted back to the chasers.
The gap between the two groups dropped to just 50 seconds with 50km to go, but a fresh burst from Belkin saw it open yet again. This new acceleration saw more riders dropped off the back, including Richie Porte (Team Sky), and within ten kilometres it had widened the gap to two minutes; into the final 35km this had widened even further to 2’30”.
With 32km left several Saxo-Tinkoff riders moved up and began to pile on the pressure themselves, pulling a group of riders clear that included Alberto Contador. With Contador were teammates Roman Kreuziger, Daniele Bennati, Nicolas Roche, Michael Rogers and Matteo Tossato, Belkin’s Bauke Mollema and Laurens Ten Dam, and Astana’s Jakob Fuglsang, Omega Pharma-Quick Step’s Cavendish, Sylvain Chavanel and Niki Terpstra, Cannondale’s Sagan and Maciej Bodnar. Maillot Jaune Froome had been left behind, however, as well as the rest of the overall contenders, as well as Greipel and the other sprinters.
White jersey Michal Kwiatkowski had missed the split, however, and so the Omega Pharma-Quick Step riders in the group were not co-operating fully, while Team Sky and BMC Racing were chasing behind. With 28km to go the group was just ten seconds ahead, and couldn’t force the gap any wider.
BMC Racing soon dropped off the pace, however, leaving just three Sky and one Lotto-Belisol rider to chase, and the gap began to grow a little; under the 20km banner it was up to 30 seconds.
Valverde, meanwhile, was five minutes back, with Movistar and Europcar half-heartedly leading the chase.
More teams join the chase but Froome is losing big time to his rivals
Having missed the move, with both its sprinter and general classification rider, Katusha joined Team Sky in the chase, along with Greipel’s Lotto-Belisol teammates. Saxo-Tinkoff was riding a team time trial in front of them, however, and were 45 seconds ahead with 15km left.
The chasers were beginning to make a little progress on the group in front, closing the gap to 38 seconds with 13km to go as Froome himself came forward to help his three remaining teammates. The riders on the front were tiring, however, as they arrived at the foot of a short, sharp, uncategorised climb at Bruère-Allichamps and, as it turned into a headwind over the top with just ten kilometres to go, the gap was back out to 45 seconds again.
Contador was waving the others on, as the Omega Pharma-Quick Step and Cannondale riders were still reluctant to help at the front, but the Spanish rider was handed another advantage with eight kilometres left as Team Sky’s Kanstantsin Siutsou and Ian Stannard were unable to continue the chase.
As AG2R La Mondiale took over on the front, the gap began to approach a minute.
Into the final seven kilometres the Omega Pharma-Quick Step riders in the lead group began to move up and, under the five kilometre banner, the one minute gap was achieved.
With 1.3km to go Terpstra jumped away from the lead group, but was chased down by Bodnar. Chavanel was leading Cavendish in the group, with Sagan behind them, but the British champion allowed the green jersey to get in front of him under the flamme rouge.
Shadowing Sagan into the finishing straight, Cavendish jumped with 200 metres to go and, once up to speed, there was nothing the Slovakian champion could do to compete.
Greipel won the sprint for 15th place after 1’09”, which was the amount of time that Contador, Mollema, Ten Dam, Kreuziger and Fuglsang had taken out of Froome.
