205.5 kms from Montpellier
to Albi
Medium mountains, flat
finish;
Hot, sunny, temps around 30

| Stage 7 on the map |
2-man break: Jens Voigt (Radioshack) and Blel Kadri (ALM);
-132k: Voigt and Kadri lead
by 5:00;
I figured at least one of
the mountain jersey hunters would make the break today. Kadri is that man.
-126.8k: the lead is 4:20
As Daryl Impey of Orica
GreenEdge is wearing the yellow race leader’s jersey today, the broadcaster I
am watching played the song that was playing on the Orica team bus this
morning. “Impi”, they said, is sort of an unofficial South African anthem. They
are enjoying their recent successes, including putting an African into the
yellow jersey for the first time in the Tour’s history.

| Stage 7 Profile |
*Christian Vande Velde has been nursing some
wounds for a few days now. He went down again in a crash today at km11, so he
and his Garmin team have decided to take him out of the race. It’s a shame
because this was to be the 37-year-old’s last Tour De France. He is the eighth
retiree, and the second American to retire from the race so far.
Voigt and Kadri are in the
lead together, riding up the first categorized climb;
1.
Kadri 2. Voigt
-121k: Gilbert bike change;
-117k: The 2 leaders are on
the next climb: the cat-2 Col de la Croix de Mounis is the hardest climb today.
It would be Kadri’s prime target.
 |
| An early pile-up |
I can understand why fans
like to run along the side of the road waving their national flags. What I don’t
understand is why so many of them like to do it in their underwear.
Cannondale is pushing the
pace at the front of the peloton to try and distance the sprinters. They want
their man Sagan to be free of the other top sprinters when they reach the
finish. Cavendish is already a minute behind the main bunch. Omega send 3
riders back to help Cav up the mountain. They are part of a rear split bunch. The
peloton is stretched out and splitting up on the climb.
Over the summit, Kadri and
Voigt have 2:12 on the peloton.
Behind, Rolland has jumped
out of the pack to try and get the next available KOM points. Romain Bardet of
Ag2R is marking him, hoping to beat Rolland to the line, and so protect his
teammate, Kadri’s standing in that competition. They start their sprint for the
line at the top. Rolland relents, and will be fourth at the line.
-111k: KOM 2 cat-2 Col de la Croix de Mounis (6.7k at 6.5%):
1. Kadri 2. Voigt 3. Bardet 4. Rolland
André Greipel is in a group
about 1:10 behind the main peloton. Cavendish is in a group about two minutes
behind the Greipel group. Cannondale lead the peloton, keeping the pace high
across the plateau that followed the last summit.
I still like Cav’s chances.
Their best chance may be to catch the Greipel group before Greipel catches the
front group, because a larger chasing group has better chances. They have about
a 50k stretch here to do it before the next climb. The last two climbs are not
very difficult so I think the chasers have a good shot to catch up either
before or after the climbs. Whether they still have enough energy for a finish
sprint after all the chasing, remains to be seen.
Just inside 100k to go: Kadri
and Voigt still lead together. The Cannondale-led peloton is closing in, now
about :30 behind them. The leaders are discussing whether to sit up or keep
going.
-98.5k: Voigt attacks and
takes off ahead alone. The peloton are just a few hundred meters behind.
Kadri sits up and is caught.
But he will be on the podium today donning the King of the Mountains jersey.
Now Voigt is done. He is
picked up by the pack with about 97k (about 60 miles) still left to ride.
So, the Cannondale led peloton
leads on the road now. According to race radio, the Greipel group trails them
by about 1:30; Cavendish is about :45 further back.
They have just passed the
high point of the stage, the 901-meter-high Col de la Jasse (uncategorized)
with about half the stage still remaining.
-90k: The Cavendish group
has caught up to the Greipel group. They trail the leading peloton by about 2:45
now.
Marccel Kittel of the Argos
Shimano team is also in the chasing peloton. So that makes three top sprinter’s
teams who will be highly motivated to chase down the front group. Seven
Cannondale riders lead the front group, equally motivated to give their man,
Sagan the best possible chance for a stage win.
The chasing group is not
making up much time. If they can’t start catching up faster, they may have to
admit defeat. They are not going to get on before the intermediate sprint
point, so Sagan can increase his lead in the sprint competition by taking the
INT, and leaving no points left for his rivals to grab (because his bunch will
grab them all). If Sagan wins the INT his lead will be unassailable today,
regardless of the finish line places.
-80k: The lead is still
around 2:30.
*They are reporting that
Alexander Kristoff (Katusha) has
abandoned the race. That’s one less fast sprinter.
Km 135 (70k to go) INT:
1. Sagan 2. Flecha 3. Sabatini
4. Clarke 5. Gerrans 6. Impey 7. De
Marchi 8. Albasini 9. Marangoni 10. Moser 11. Koren 12. Bodnar 13. Siutsou 14.
Porte 15. Kennaugh
 |
| Cannondale worked very hard on stage 7 |
Sagan will keep the green
jersey tonight.
The chasing group hits the
INT line 2:39 after the leaders. They are not gaining any time on the lead
group.
*-68k: Up front, Jan Bakelants attacks the peloton. Cyril
Gautier (EUC) and JJ Oroz (EUS) try to bridge up to Bakelants. Bakelants gets a
:15 lead.
-65k: The 2 chasers get on
with Bakelants.
*3 leaders on the road now: Bakelants (RSL), Gautier (EUC) and Oroz
(EUS).
*There has been about a
half-minute discrepancy between the posted time splits and the race radio
announcements. Someone could be trying to inspire the chasers—or demoralize the
leaders—or else someone is just wrong. So the gap is either around 2:00 or
2:30.
The lead at 38 miles left is
:38.
-60k: The 3 leaders have :46
on the peloton, and 2:51 on the chasing group.
Km 149: KOM 3 Cat-3 Cote de le Quintaine (6.5k at 4%):
1.
Bakelants 2. Gautier
53 seconds later, the
peloton cross the INT line.
I was thinking the
Greipel/Cavendish/Kittel chasing group might assess the distance after the
cat-3 Quintaine climb, to decide whether to keep chasing or not. They still
trail by over 2:00, so they may give it up soon. The Cannondale boys have been
pushing hard, and it’s working.
With 50k left to the finish,
The 3 leaders have 1:00 on the Sagan peloton, and almost 3 minutes on the Cav
group.
Sagan would surely like the
stage win, but he does not need to do anything else to keep the green jersey.
I’m sure his team will continue to drive hard, but they may lose a touch of
impetus since they have locked the jersey. With that, and the length of time
that Cannondale have been working hard, it is possible that the chasers behind
them could start to gain time now.
*-40k: With about 25 miles
to go, the Cavendish group has given up the chase after being unable to gain
any ground for the past two hours. They trail the leaders by 4:25, and rising.
So much for my optimistic prediction! The peloton trails the leaders now by 44
seconds, and closing.
Km 171: KOM 4
cat-4 Cote de Teillet (2.6k at 5%):
1.
Bakelants
-30k: Bakelants, Oroz and
Gautier lead.
The peloton is :45 behind
them. The back group is now at +7:30.
The leaders have been
yo-yo-ing in front, from about :30 to a 1:00 lead. Mostly between :40 and :45
lead.
-20k: the 3 leaders have :41
on the peloton, and 9:43 on the grupetto.
-10k: :24 and 11:35;
They will get caught before
the finish.
Peter Sagan is going to feel
obligated to take the stage win after his team has worked so hard to set him
up. With most of the other top sprinters eleven minutes behind him, I think he
has a very good shot.
-6k: the lead is :10;
-5k: 5 seconds;
-4k: The Cannondale train
takes a roundabout on a bad line and gets disrupted. The 3 leaders have 7
seconds.
Bakelants keeps a high pace
out front.
Radioshack, Omega, Sky and
BMC all move riders up toward the front where the Cannondale train is still
pushing the pace.
*The peloton catches the 3
leaders with 2.6k to go.
-2k: Sagan has three
teammates left in front of him for the run in to the finish.
1k to go: Argos are moving
up, now Lampre. Sagan is losing his ideal position.
500 meters to the line:
Sagan has one last lead-out man. John Degenkolb starts his sprint on the inside
lane by the left barriers. He comes around Sagan and pushes on.
Sagan gets into his
slipstream, and then comes around him on the right and sprints to the win!
 |
| The finish sprint |
Degenkolb and Daniele
Bennati of Saxo Bank have a photo finish for second. Degenkolb has it by a nose,
Bennati is third.
Lampre’s time trial man,
Adriano Malori is another non-finisher today.
I’m going to go out for a
bike ride and come back when the 80-man Cavendish group comes in…

How was that bike ride!? (That one made me bust out laughing!)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on being confused at why some people insist on being in their unds or guys in dresses, but I like it to Halloween...a chance to dress like a slut is a wasted opportunity.
Cannondale was not messing around and it obviously paid off. Their strong lead today made me wonder if Ted king would've been able to keep up with what looked like their second day of TTT like riding.
On to stage 8 for me....
well, I didn't really go for that bike ride--but I could have lapped my block a few times I suppose!
ReplyDeleteCannondale impressed the s*#t out of me on Friday! It was a tremendous show of unity and strength that I won't compare to a gay pride march.
