Second in a row for Omega Pharma-Quick Step on a more conventional transition stage
Matteo Trentin (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) took his team’s second victory in as many days in the 2013 Tour de France as he won the 14th stage, between Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule and Lyon, as he outsprinted the first successful breakaway group of the race. The 23-year-old Italian was the fastest of the 12-rider group - which had been 18-strong until the attacks began in the finale - that arrived at the finish together. Michael Albasini (Orica-GreenEdge), who had been the one to start his sprint first, took second place, ahead of Andrew Talansky (Garmin-Sharp) in third.
With the peloton finishing the 191km stage 7’17” behind the breakaway riders, Talansky moved up five places in the general classification to 12th place overall.
“There was no strategy in the finale,” Trentin admitted afterwards. “My first thing that I discussed with my director in the team car, Daniele Bramati, was to think about not using too much energy because yesterday we used a lot of energy in the crosswinds to set up the victory of Mark [Cavendish]. The other riders also knew that so it was like I had a little bit of a license to pull less.
“The other point was to survive on the climb because the other guys like Tejay van Garderen [BMC Racing], Talansky, and also Jens Voigt [RadioShack-Leopard]... on a climb they are better than me. If I lose 10 metres to them, then it's finished so I just survived on both of the last hills. In the end, I just followed the guys and closed the gap when I needed to close it.
“To be honest, with two kilometres to go, I thought it was finished because [Julien] Simon was still at the the front,” Trentin explained. “[BMC Racing’s Marcus] Burghardt attacked from the last corner with Michael Albasini; I tried to come back to them on my own but there were other riders on my wheel and they attacked one more time. I just followed them and we came back together as a group with 500 metres to go and I waited until the 200m to go mark to launch my sprint because we had a tailwind so it was good.
“It's my first win as a pro, a nice way to start.”
With Trentin, Albasini and Talansky in the break were Lars Bak (Lotto-Belisol), Burghardt and van Garderen (BMC Racing), stage two winner Jan Bakelants and Voigt (RadioShack-Leopard), Cyril Gautier (Europcar), French champion Arthur Vichot (FDJ.fr), Blel Kadri (AG2R La Mondiale), Pavel Brutt (Katusha), Imanol Erviti and José Joaquin Rojas (Movistar), Egoitz Garcia (Cofidis), Talansky’s Garmin-Sharp teammate David Millar, Simon Geschke (Argos-Shimano) and Simon.
Despite its size, the group took several kilometres to properly establish itself, with the Euskaltel-Euskadi and Lampre-Merida teams having missed the move, and both teams worked hard to chase it down. Eventually, however, both team’s gave up the pursuit and the group’s lead began to grow.
There was a long counterattack from Netherlands champion Johnny Hoogerland (Vacansoleil-DCM) and Damiano Cunego (Lampre-Merida) but, despite being able to get within a minute of the leaders, the two riders were unable to close the gap and were eventually caught before the finish.
Into the final 25km the riders in the break began to attack one another, but nobody was able to get clear until Simon escaped over the top of the 4th category Côte de la Croix Rousse with less than ten kilometres to go. The Sojasun rider looked to have done enough to take France’s first victory of the 2013 Tour, but he was reeled in by the disorganised chasers as he reached the final kilometre.
Some attacks followed, but 12 of the 18 riders were together as they approached the line where Trentin - who works as teammate Cavendish’s second lead out man - was the fastest.
After the tumultuous events of the day before, Maillot Jaune Chris Froome (Team Sky) was happy to spend a relatively quiet day in the peloton behind the break and, aside from Talansky’s rise up the standings, there were no changes to the top of the general classification.
The attacks start early on a far more conventional transition day
Bak, Voigt and Kadri escaped after just three kilometres, and were joined by Vichot and Christophe Le Mével (Cofidis) at the 18km point. Le Mével was dropped soon afterwards and the remaining four were just 14 seconds clear at the 35km point, just as the remaining 14 riders jumped away from the peloton behind them.
The 18-rider break came together after 42km, but was still struggling to build a decent advantage as Argos-Shimano led the peloton behind. Despite covering 48.1kph, the group was just 1’20” clear at the 55km point.
Talansky was the best placed rider in the group, beginning the day in 17th place overall, just 13’11” behind Froome, but Team Sky was uninterested in chasing the American down.
Lampre-Merida and Euskaltel-Euskadi were two of the teams that had missed the move, however, and were sent forward to bring it back. Geschke led over the 4th category Côte de Marcigny after 66.5km, with the peloton 1’05” behind; at the 74km point the gap had been cut to just 45 seconds, but only one rider from Lampre-Merida was helping Euskaltel-Euskadi, and it was to come down no further.
After 90km Euskaltel-Euskadi gave up, leaving the head of the peloton to Team Sky, and the British team was happy to let the gap grow. It was up to 2’10” as the leaders passed through the feedzone, in Mars after 94km, and was up to 2’30” as Bakelants took the single point over the 4th category Côte de la Croix Couverte 98.5km.
On the approach to the 3rd category Côte de Thizy-les-Bourgs Hoogerland and Cunego escaped the peloton, which was now 3’20” behind the lead group. The duo was 2’50” behind the over the top, as Kadri beat Talansky to the points, with the peloton now at 3’50”.
Shortly afterwards Juan Jose Oroz, whose Euskaltel-Euskadi team had failed to chase down the break earlier on, set off in pursuit of the two counterattackers, but his chasse patate was fruitless and he was back in the peloton soon afterwards.
Attacks hit the breakaway as the chasers drift away
On the 3rd category Col du Pilon, Hoogerland left Cunego behind and, as Kadri led Talansky again over the top with 64.5km to go, the Dutchman was just 55 seconds behind. On the descent with 61km to go Burghardt attacked, but was soon pulled back by the others. Meanwhile Hoogerland sat up a little and allowed Cunego to get across to him, but the duo was 2’05” behind the leading group with 50km to go, while the gap to peloton was now at 4’30” and rising.
On the 4th category Côte de Lozanne Burghardt attacked again, but Voigt led the group over the top with 30km to go. Hoogerland and Cunego were 3’26” behind as they followed over the climbs, while the peloton was now at 6’05”.
With just over 25km to go Albasini jumped away, but he was caught as he passed under the banner shortly afterwards. As the Swiss rider was pulled back Millar countered, but it was Albasini himself that clawed the group back up to the British rider.
At the foot of the 4th category Côte de la Duchère Bakelants was the next to attack but, as Brutt led the others across, Voigt was dropped out the back. The rest of the riders made it across to the Belgian, with the group down to 17, and Burghardt then began to set a strong tempo up the rest of the climb.
This new acceleration saw Millar dropped by the group, cutting the number to 16.
Albasini led over the top with 15km to go, but it was Simon that attacked into the descent and the Frenchman immediately opened up a decent gap. Several riders tried to bridge across to the Sojasun rider, but the cohesion of the group had been shattered and he was 14 seconds clear with 13km to go.
A kilometre later Kadri jumped clear, as Simon hit the foot of the Côte de la Croix Rousse up ahead, but the AG2R La Mondiale rider was making no progress.
Meanwhile, 6’33” behind the leaders, the peloton was catching up with Hoogerland and Cunego.
Over the top of the climb, with just 9.5km to go, Simon was 22 seconds clear of Kadri who had the rest of the group of his heels. BMC Racing and Movistar were the only teams to still have two riders in the group, but there was little cooperation between the others, and the gap was coming down only very slowly.
Geschke tried to escape the chase, as it came down to 15 seconds with six kilometres to go, but Vichot jumped onto his wheel and appeared to be marking the German rider on behalf of his compatriot up front. Van Garderen and Kadri did managed to escape, however, with five kilometres left, but were still making little progress on Simon up ahead, as he held on to his 15 second lead.
The two chasers were pulled back quickly by the others, but nobody came through to keep the chase going, and Simon’s lead opened up to 18 seconds with 3.5km left. Burghardt chased briefly, which saw teammate van Garderen dropped from the group, then Bak jumped away at the three kilometre banner. Bakelants and Gautier followed the Danish rider, and the pace dropped off again, but then Burghardt put in a powerful jump with two kilometres to go, pulling Albasini with him, and the Orica-GreenEdge rider caught up with Simon just as he passed under the flamme rouge.
Bakelants and Geschke pulled the rest of the group up, however, and, with 200 metres to go, the Belgian opened up his sprint. The rest of the riders fanned out across the road as the line approached though, and Trentin pushed his front wheel ahead to take the victory.
The peloton eventually crossed the line 7’17” later, with Froome’s Maillot Jaune safe.
