Gerald Ciolek (MTN-Qhubeka) won the second stage of the Tour of Britain, between Carlisle and Kendal, as the peloton endured another day of pouring rain across Cumbria’s Lake District. The German rider managed to keep in contact with Sam Bennett (An Post-Chainreaction) on the uphill finishing straight, then sprinted past the Irishman as the road levelled out in the final metres.
Thomas Löfkvist (IAM Cycling), who had attacked in the final ten kilometres and only passed by Bennett and Ciolek with 200 metres to go on the final climb to the line, managed to hold on to take third place six seconds back.
The time bonus on the line saw Ciolek take the race leader’s yellow jersey from stage one winner Elia Viviani (Cannondale), who had been dropped in the closing kilometres.
“It was a strange day for us, losing two riders [MTN-Qhubeka’s Andreas Stauff and Ferekalsi Debesay both pulled out after crashing - ed] and then winning but that’s the sport,” said Ciolek at the finish. “You can win and lose on the same day.
“Honister Pass was a really hard climb but I just stayed calm and made sure I was with riders like [Omega Pharma-Quick Step’s Mark] Cavendish and [Alessandro] Petacchi because I knew they would bring it back,” the German explained. “I was feeling good so I wasn’t too worried because the front group was just ahead of us the whole time.
“Coming into the finish there was a sharp right turn. I got a bit of a gap from the first riders within the last kilometre then chased Sam Bennett and he gave me a really hard time to catch him. I caught him and went on his wheel with 150 metres to go and was quite confident from then.
“This season started off pretty well for the team,” Ciolek added. “We went to all the races with goals and didn’t do well in all the races and that’s normal but I am very happy with how the year has gone for me and for the team. We’ve been very successful. Now with the race being broadcasted on SuperSport in Africa it’s fantastic for the supporters in the team’s home country to see us race and win.”
The 186.6km stage saw an early attack from Angel Madrazo (Movistar), Mathew Cronshaw (IG-Sigma Sport), Michael Northey (Node4-Giordana), Anthony Delaplace (Sojasun), Nicola Boem (Bardiani-CSF), Jonathan Dibben (Great Britain), Sean Downey (An Post-chainreaction). The group was 3’15” ahead through the first sprint, in Aspatria after 26km, before Team Sky got the gap under control and began to slowly pull it back.
Boem lost contact as the break hit the 1st category climb of Honiston Pass, with its gradients of up to 25%, then Dan Martin (Garmin-Sharp) and Nairo Quintana (Movistar) attacked the peloton on the steepest section.
Madrazo crashed on the wet descent, but managed to rejoin the others as the roads levelled out again. With 60km to go, Martin and Quintana were still 1’08” behind
Having experienced problems with his bike since his crash, Madrazo’s rear derailleur fell off with 50km to go. He managed to get a very quick bike change from his team car, and rejoined the group just as teammate Quintana and Martin caught up.
Martin and Quintana immediately hit the front of the group, and left all but Madrazo behind as they hit the slopes of the 2nd category Chestnut Hill. The peloton was just less than a minute behind at this point, however, and steadily reeled them in, until they were caught with 36km to go.
Immediately his Movistar teammates were caught, Enrique Sanz jumped away. The lone Spanish rider managed to get 30 seconds clear of the Sky-led bunch, before he too was reeled in with 21km left.
A kilometre later Jacob Rathe (Garmin-Sharp) attacked, and he too was allowed to open an initial gap. The American was quickly 18 seconds clear, with Sky reduced to just one rider chasing; although NetApp-Endura was lined up behind him and poised to take over.
Rathe was reeled in as the race hit an unclassified rise with 13km to go, just as Stefano Pirazzi (Bardiani-CSF) jumped past him. The Italian was only able to get a few seconds clear, however, before being reeled in a kilometre later. Team Sky was back on the front in force by now, and began to lift the pace to stop anybody else from getting away.
With 11km to go though, British champion Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) put in a move himself. The Manxman was quickly pulled back by a reaction from several teams, and Löfkvist went over the top and got away himself.
Sliding a little on the wet white lines in the centre of the road, the Swedish rider was just ten seconds clear with seven kilometres to go, but gradually edging further clear. The gap was up to 13 seconds with six kilometres to go, as the Sky-led chase briefly caused a split in the peloton behind him.
With four kilometres to go Löfkvist was still 11 seconds ahead, but Team Sky’s former British champion Ian Stannard was slowly clawing him back as they arrived on the outskirts of Kendal. He was still clear under the flamme rouge, however, but slowed to a virtual crawl as he hit the final climb to the line.
Bennett jumped clear, quickly getting a gap. Ciolek set off after him and the German overtook the Irish rider as the final 50 metres levelled out, sprinting ahead to take the victory.
