Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) sprinted long and hung on for his second victory of the Tour of Britain, denying previous stage winners Elia Viviani (Cannondale) and Gerald Ciolek (MTN-Qhubeka) on the line. Omega Pharma-Quick Step did much of the pacing in the final kilometres and almost ran their lead out too soon.
But a big pull from Cavendish’s final man, Alessandro Petacchi, actually pulled a small split clear. And though Petacchi was forced to lead out from 850 metres to go, his turn was long enough to spring the British sprinting star from a winnable distance. With Petacchi forced to go long, Cavendish had to as well, and he was fading slightly as the line approached. Viviani and Ciolek were on a charge, but the Manxman had enough to take the victory.
The victory marked Cavendish’s second consecutive Tour of Britain win in Guildford.
Blaz Jarc (NetApp-Endura) was fourth, and Jacob Rathe (Garmin-Sharp) rounded out the top five. Bradley Wiggins (Sky Procycling) maintained his 32-second overall lead ahead of Martin Elmiger (IAM Cycling) with one stage remaining.
"Today was a beautiful stage, I really enjoyed riding it," Cavendish said on the team website. "The team did a great job controlling the race from the beginning. The guys controlled with five riders pulling for the sprint. Julien Vermote, Iljo Keisse, and Martin Velits were on the front all day, and then Michal Golas and Alessandro Petacchi did great work in the final. I'm really proud of them. Heading into the sprint, they rode so hard they did some damage in the peloton from putting on the pressure. Then inside the last kilometer, Peta led me out as usual. I went probably a bit too long, last year I did the same thing as well. I saw Viviani was coming up on me so I had to do the second kick to pass him again. I am really happy because it was a good move and a good sprint, especially since it wasn't so easy being uphill and on the cobbles. I am happy about it and looking forward to the next stages."
"With four riders in the breakaway, we knew we had a chance to control and try to go for the win," team director Brian Holm added. "Cannondale worked with us all day. Petacchi did a great leadout, but Viviani came on very strong in the final meters. The sprint was almost too long, but Cav had a second acceleration. I know the sprint from last year — when Cav also won — and it's a very hard sprint. I have to say Mark is in good shape because to beat Viviani and Ciolek on the cobblestones and on an uphill sprint, you have to be in good condition. But the guys also did a great job getting him to the sprint. They worked on the front all day. I'm happy about the team and our attitude here at Tour of Britain. Tomorrow we will give it a try again, this time in London."
A four-man breakaway dominated most of the 150km stage from Epsom to the county town of Surrey, England. Lucas Euser (UnitedHealthcare), Kristian House (Rapha Condor), Christophe Laborie (Sojasun) and Peter Williams (Team IG-Sigma Sport) represented a group of both experienced and first-time breakaway men. Williams was in search of points in the sprint competition, while House was in his third escape of the race, and would eventually move up to second place in the King of the Mountains competition. Ángel Madrazo (Movistar) could not be caught in that race, however.
Sky Procycling and Omega Pharma-Quick Step took much of the responsibility in the peloton, keeping the quartet out front to within three minutes. Cannondale also was contributing to the chase for Viviani, and with 45km to go, the gap was within two minutes. Status quo was maintained as the race moved inside 30 kilometres to go, as IAM Cycling moved up in support of Elmiger and sprinter Heinrich Haussler.
With 15km to go and the writing on the wall, the break started the infighting. Euser was the first to attack, just as Shem Rodger (Node 4-Giordana Racing) had moved out of the peloton. Neither move was successful, but Euser attacked again, with George Atkins (Great Britain) trying from the bunch, again unsuccessfully.
Sacha Modolo (Bardiani Valvole-CSF Inox) moved up to prepare for the sprint, and with the breakaway in sight, Williams attacked in a final effort. Euser pulled back Williams, but their efforts were to no avail, as all were together with 6km left.
Alex Dowsett (Movistar) was the danger man to move next, the British time trial champion sending off alarm bells and unable to get any gap.
The pace increased incrementally as the kilometres ticked down, with both Cavendish and Ciolek present at the front. Omega Pharma-Quick Step took over with 2km to go, but they had just two men ahead of their sprinter. But they came through for Cavendish, as they were just able to give him enough of a lead out to give him a chance to come out for the win.
From there, Cavendish was able to hold off Vivani and Ciolek on the slightly uphill drag to the line, winning the battle to become the first sprinter to two stage wins in this Tour of Britain.
Wiggins enjoyed a relatively uneventful day in the lead, and just needs to finish Sunday’s stage to lock up his first Tour of Britain win.
