TDF Stage 8 Report and Results 2014 Tour De France

Stage 8 Report:

Stage 8 on the map

Today's stage goes 161k through the Lorraine region to the Vosges, from Tomblaine to Gérardmer (La Mauselaine).

The riders will see the first cat-2 climbs of the race; and the first uphill finish.

The profile shows about 130k of flats, followed by three climbs in quick succession in the final 25k, including a short, steep kick up to the finish. Made for a puncheur.

Weather: Overcast, mid 60s f. Rain later.

DNS: Mathias Frank (BMC) retired last night after finishing stage 7 with a fractured femur.

Vincenzo Nibali enters stage 8 with a lead of 2:37 over Alberto Contador.

Kwiatkowski trails Nibali by :50; he is Nibali's closest GC threat.

Van Den Broeck trails by 1:45; Porte by 1:54; Talansky by 2:05; Valverde, Bardet, and Rui Costa all trail Nibali by 2:11; Mollema is at 2:27; then Contador at 2:37; Van Garderen by 3:14; Pinot by 3:24; and Peraud is at 3:29.

Stage 8 Profile

Peter Sagan comes into the stage with a lead of over 100 points in the points jersey competition. Will he go for it at the finish today? He has shown that he is capable of impressive results on punchy finishes as well as flat sprints.  Sagan has finished in the top 5 on every stage so far. No rider has finished the first seven stages with all top-ten finishes since 1930**.

Purito Rodriguez would normally eat up today's race profile, but he seems to still be building form. He has not raced since crashing out of the Giro d'Italia in mid-May.

This is a good finish for Valverde, but he may have to defer to the break unless the peloton chooses to chase down the break today.

To the road...

Fast and furious start;

Breaks aren't taking.

Bart De Clercq (LTB) has abandoned the race (ankle).

*~km35: Sylvain Chavanel (IAM) and Niki Terpstra (OPQ) get away.

Simon Yates, Adrien Petit, and Blel Kadri join the 2 up front to form a 5-man breakaway group.

Break (5): Chavanel (IAM), Terpstra (OPQ, Kadri (ALM), Yates (OGE), and Petit (COF).

Today's break has a good chance of succeeding. They could likely be allowed to get a healthy lead, and may not be chased down.

TDF Stage 7 Report and Results 2014 Tour De France

Stage 7 Race Report:

Stage 7 on the map

A long, mostly flat stage under cloudy skies today:

234.5k (146 miles) from Epernay to Nancy;

Just two cat-4's on the course, both inside the last 20k. The last is a short, steep climb with a fast descent, and it tops out just 5k before the finish. Looks like a tempting spot for a late attack, but I think several sprinters should make it over to contest the stage--assuming the break doesn't succeed.

Peter Sagan is a good pick today. I like Samuel Dumoulin as a dark-horse pick.

Stage 7 profile

*Today's finish town of Nancy was the sight of some race carnage on stage 6 of the Tour back in 2005, when a crash up front led to a huge pile-up of riders on a wet curve running into the finish. Then 25-year-old Fassa Bartolo rider, Lorenzo Bernucci became the unlikely benefactor of the metal, rubber and flesh apocalypse behind him, when he magically escaped the pile-up and sprinted ahead to take one of his two career race wins--and certainly the biggest of his career.

Lorenzo Bernucci was lucky in Nancy in 2005

Two years later, while riding for T-Mobile, Bernucci tested positive for a banned substance, and received a one-year ban. In 2010 he was caught with doping substances in his house, and is still now serving a five-year ban that is due to end in early 2016, when he will be 36.

To the road!...

6-man break: Elmiger (IAM), Edet (COF), Busche (TFR), Huzarski (TNE), Pichot (EUR), and Delaplace (BSE) have escaped the bunch.

Their lead was uo to 4:30 around km30.

Stage 6 profile

DNS: Richeze (LAM)

Stage 6 on the map

Today the race commemorates 100 years since the start of World War I. Today's route covers ground that saw a lot of military misery a hundred years ago. The peloton will pass several landmarks, cemeteries and memorial sites on the way to Reims.

Yesterday more than 40 riders are reported to have crashed. Perhaps surprisingly, Froome was the only abandon on stage 5. So, no one who crashed on the cobbles was forced to abandon the race. And, as I said yesterday, most of the crashes happened on the wet traffic circles. So I refute any argument that rain-soaked, slick cobbles are too dangerous to be included in the French grand tour. The streets and the roundabouts were much more perilous yesterday. Does anybody like those roundabouts?

My girlfriend, Emily pointed out that the images of the peloton riding through the roundabouts has become sort of iconic in cycling broadcasting; so maybe they belong as much to the cycling aesthetic as cobblestones. It's a point I had not considered. I will put up a poll asking who thinks the cobblestones should be excluded from the Tour De France...

Today's Break (4):

Jerome Pineau (IAM), Tom Leezer (BEL), Luis Mate (COF), and Arnaud Gerard (BSE).

Second time Mate has made the break (stage 4).

They build a lead of about 4:15.

John Degenkolb has a torn gluteal muscle. He won't be much help in the Giant-Shimano lead-out train for Kittel today.

km 80: With about 115k left to ride, the escapees have a lead of 2:53 over the peloton.

TDF Stage 5 Race Report and Results 2014 Tour De France

Stage 5:

Stage 5 on the map

"Mini-Paris-Roubaix"; Wednesday July 9, 2014

It's raining at the start in Ypres.  About 50 f.

The stage was originally scheduled for 155.5 kms, but two of the nine cobbled sections have been canceled due to the weather: sections 5 and 7. So it is now 152.5k.

MY PICK TODAY: Fabian Cancellara. "Longshot" pick: Sebastian Langeveld

The rain will strike fear into some riders, but defending champion Chris Froome would have welcomed the cancelation of the two cobbled sections, as he came out with his left wrist wrapped in an ace bandage, possibly around a brace, as a result of his crash early yesterday.

The 2 omitted sections are reported to have been particularly affected by the extensive rain, being assessed as too flooded to ride through.

The big guys get themselves near the front as the flag drops for the official start.

Tony Martin starts with the gas on...Ben King of Garmin-Sharp then accelerates off the front. The chase is on, right from the start.

The early break (9 riders):

Tony Martin (OPQ), Gallopin (LTB), Acevedo (GRS), Hayman (OGE), Clarke (OGE), Dumoulin (ALM), Burghardt (BMC), Westra (AST), Taaramae (COF).

-140k: By km15 the break has built a 1:00 lead over the peloton. 2 chasers are in between at +:30.

*-120k: Chris Froome is picking himself up from the tarmac again. His kit is torn a bit, so you can see yellow through holes in his rain jacket. He is chasing back on with Daniel Oss (BMC) and a Cofidis rider. An FDJ rider had also gone down. After a km or two, SKY riders start dropping back to help pace Froome back up to the peloton.

A low fence had appeared suddenly in the left side of the road, separating off a meter or so of road as a shoulder from car traffic. Its presence was not well marked, and that's what caused the Froome crash.

Stalwart fans waiting by one of today's seven cobbled sections

-115k: The 9 escapees' lead is up to 1:32. The Froome chase group is about :40 behind the peloton.

*Report of another crash, now in the front group. No TV footage yet.

Still about 50k to go before they reach the pavé.

Tony Martin was a crash victim in the lead group. Acevedo was also down. Their wheels slipped out on a roundabout. They are both up and chasing.

The lead group is now 7 riders.

Froome finally approaches the rear of the peloton.

Another crash in the peloton: C. Pineau of FDJ; a Cofidis rider, and Kristoff also chasing back on after incidents.

-95k: Lead is now 2:16.

Burghardt has dropped back into the peloton from the break.

Teams Cannondale and Astana lead the peloton through Roubaix.

-80k: The lead approaches 3:00.

BMC, Garmin and Saxo moving up toward the front of the peloton.

The wet roads are causing more crashes, almost every roundabout, it seems, is claiming victims..

3 more go down on another roundabout, including Kittel, a Garmin rider, and another.

-75k: Demare hits the deck.

-70k: Another roundabout claims several victims, including Kiryienka, Valverde, and Van Garderen. Everyone is trying to be as close to the front as they can get, as the cobbles are about to commence...

Report: Valverde is now riding his teammate JJ Rojas' bike, after the crash.

*-67k: CHRIS FROOME is down again! He is shaking his head. It does not look good for the overall favorite. He is holding the bandaged wrist and shaking his head as his team car finally arrives. Another teammate is with him, also with a tattered kit. Froome pulls off his shades and his eyes are full of pain and defeat. Froome is abandoning the Tour just before the first cobbled section on stage 5

-66k: The 7 leaders are approaching the first cobbled section, the Carrefour de l'Arbe.

It is still raining, the pave is soaked, and both sides of the "road" are long trenches of water waiting to bathe the unsteady in mud.

The peloton hit the first pave 1:58 behind the 7 leaders.

The lead is still 1:56 as the peloton come off the Carrefour de l'Arbe.

The entire Movistar team is pacing Valverde and some others back up. Van Garderen is in a small group just ahead.

Froome was not enjoying last year's good luck out there today

km97 (Templeuve): The leaders go through the Intermediate Sprint point, led by Westra.

*INT SPR: 1. Westra  2. Clarke  3. Hayman  4. Martin  5. Dumoulin  6. Taaramae  7. Gallopin  8. Sagan  9. Bodnar  10. Koren  11. Vanmarcke  12. Navardauskas  13. Bak  14. Grivko  15. Langeveld

 -48k: Hayman and Clarke (OGE) are leading the escapees over the second cobbled section, 1:20 ahead of the chasing peloton.

Taaramae loses contact with the other escapees.

6 leaders now.

The peloton is taking a pounding on this section. Positions are increasingly difficult to defend... splits are forming all over.

-50k: Nibali survives in a small group with 3 Astana teammates, as well as Talansky, Cancellara, Langeveld, 2 Belkin riders (Vanmarcke and Boom), Cyril Lemoine with 2 COF teammates, 2 or 3 OPQ riders (maybe Kwiatkowski, Bakelants? Renshaw...), and a few others.  Maybe 27 guys in that group right now.

Not too far behind, about :40 back, Alberto Contador's group is chasing the Nibali group.

Chris Froome will not be able to defend his title

A lotto rider (Lars Bak, maybe) at the front of the Nibali group has some choice words for Astana, probably asking them to work harder to chase.

*-40k: The 6 leaders up the road are Tony Martin for OPQ, Clarke and Hayman for OGE, Tony Gallopin (LTB), Sam Dumoulin (ALM), and Lieuwe Westra (AST). They lead by about :50

Garmin climber Janier Acevedo is said to be several minutes off the back, suffering.

Onto the next cobbled section (Bersée, 1.4k):

-39k: Team Lotto leader Jurgen Van Den Broeck ("VDB") skids off the road on a cobbled left curve,. He summersaults into a backside endo into the spectators, down a ditch and onto the grass. It looked dramatic, but I think he should be ok. He has had some bad luck in some big races.

Tony Martin had safely led the leading group of 6 around that bend with great caution.

*Sep Vanmarcke, who had been riding second wheel behind VDB, watched the Lotto rider tumble, and takes the corner masterfully. He then attacks with deliberate ambition, bringing Belkin teammate Lars Boom along for the ride.

Sagan and Cancellara

[Vanmarcke finished 4th at Paris-Roubaix this year, and 2nd last year; Boom was 6th at Roubaix in 2012, and has made top 15 a few times.]

Talansky crashed head-on into a pair of spectators on the same curve that took out VDB, just a few meters behind the Lotto rider.

The crashes formed splits in the chase group. Nibali is riding himself up through the smaller groups of riders on the road, passing his own teammates on the way forward.

-37.5k: Boom is now pacing Vanmarcke in a concerted chase effort.  The 6 leaders can't be more than :30 ahead.

-36.6k: Nibali has to hop over an Astana teammate who crashed on a wet right turn in the road. Heinrich Haussler (IAM)also went down on the same spot.

Lotto's Jurgen Van Den Broeck missed a turn and took a tumble

A few kms later, Dumoulin goes down on a roundabout curve. Just ahead of him in the lead group, Gallopin had to clip out of his left pedal to keep his balance on the same curve.

*The lead group is down to 4 riders: Clarke and Hayman, Martin and Gallopin.

I did not see Westra drop back to the Nibali group.

*Vanmarcke had punctured; the Belkin duo is back with the Nibali group now.

*-28k: The Nibali group catches the 4 breakaway leaders, to form a new front group of about 16 riders.

The large Contador, Valverde, Van Garderen group is chasing less than a minute behind.

Onto the 4th-to-last cobbled section: Sars-et-Rosiers to Tilloy-les-Marchiennes; 2.4k:

The Talansky group of about 10-15 riders (Chase 1) is chasing at about +:40;

The much larger Contador, Roche, TVG, Valverde, Rui Costa, Richie Porte group (Chase 2) is at about +1:17.

Boom comes off the 4th cobbled section with a slight gap. Other riders are stretched out in a gapped single file behind him. Sagan, Kwiatkowski and Fuglsang are among them.

[It is unlikely that Nibali is riding to keep the yellow jersey, but rather had a plan to stay up front to keep out of trouble. He is riding a great stage, and may even gain time on his rivals today.]

Nibali did his best to stay up front all day

 *-20k: Peter Sagan leads the front group (containing the Maillot Jaune, Nibali) onto the short, 3rd-to-last section of pavé. They come together on the back end of the cobbles with about 12 or 13 riders in front.

The small Talansky group is chasing at about +1:30;

The Contador GC peloton is almost :30 behind those chasers. So Contador is currently about two minutes behind Nibali.

Another dozen riders trail the GC peloton by a few more seconds.

-17.3km: JC Peraud has another mechanical. Gets a slow wheel change.

-15k: The leaders are on the penultimate cobbled section at Wandignies. It is long, at 3.7k.

Cancellara is still in there with the front group. Renshaw is there, too.

Westra has been doing a lot of work driving in the front group.

Geraint Thomas and Richie Porte for SKY jump out of the Contador group, trying to bridge up to the first chase group, at least.

-13k: *Nibali, Fuglsang and Westra are keeping up a hard pace in front. Westra accelerates to pull Nibali away from his rivals behind. The others are losing their wheels. Some are frantically pedaling to catch up.

-12k: So far, only Lars Boom has gotten on with the Astana attack.

-11k: *The 4 leaders on the road at -10k are: Nibali, Fuglsang and Westra for Astana, and Boom for Belkin.

Hayman, Cancellara, Sagan and Lemoine are together chasing a few seconds behind the four leaders.

Geraint Thomas paced Richie Porte up

 A Movistar rider has crashed off the pavé and into a spectator, and the mud.

-10k: One cobbled section remains...

Thomas has pulled Porte up to the Talansky chase group, now about 11 or 12 riders strong. Also with them are 2 Astana riders, a Cannondale, an ALM, a COF... Michal Kwiatkowski, Romain Bardet...

Contador, Van Garderen, Rui Costa and Valverde still seem to be riding together, about 2:20 behind the leaders.

-9k: *Nibali has lost one teammate, Westra. Westra was a beast today. He ought to win Most Aggro Rider.

Westra drops back into the first chase group with Cancy and Sagan.

-8k: *The lead group is now 3: Nibali, Fuglsang, and Boom.

-7k: The 3 leaders are holding :14 over the first 5 chasers.

*-6.7k: The 3 leaders attack the last section of pave.

Boom begins to gain a gap on Nibali, who is flying over the pavé with Fuglsang on his tail.

-5k: Boom has a 5-second gap over the 2 Astana boys a sthey come off the last cobbled section.

-3k: Boom can surely taste the possible victory by now. His face shows the pain and suffering and focus of a man possessed.

The finish line will come at the entrance to the Arenberg Forest...

GC contenders are spread out down the road, doing their personal best to stay in contention.

-1k: Under the red kite, Lars Boom continues to push the pedals with everything he has. 

He turns around at -500m, then raises his hand once, turns around again to make sure it's for real, and starts to celebrate a fantastic win with fist pumps, a huge grin, and raised arms.

Boom leading Fuglsang and Nibali over the last cobbled section

 Boom wins the dreaded day with an average speed of 47 kph. Very impressive.

Nibali is the big winner of the day among the GC men.

Appropriately, Lieuwe Westra is crowned Most Aggressive Rider of the day.

It seemed more crashes occurred on the paved roads rather than the cobbles--though the pavé did claim its share of victims, too. The roundabouts were the biggest culprits on this cool, rainy day, so great bike-handling was required to survive. Astana leader Vincenzo Nibali and his lieutenants played it as well as anyone could.

Lars Boom ruled the day

Not only did Vincenzo Nibali put on a bike-handling clinic and finish third today, but he increased his lead over all of his major rivals. Alberto Contador was perhaps the biggest loser of the day (after Froome, of course), the Spaniard conceding 2:35 to Nibali. Bauke Mollema and Jean-Christophe Peraud were two other GC hopefuls who took a licking out on the cobbled roads today.

Van Den Broeck recovered from his dramatic tumble to finish 16th, losing 1:43 to Nibali, but gaining a few precious seconds on the other big guns.

Michal Kwiatkowski performed very well, gaining 1:21 on his closest White Jersey overall contender, Romain Bardet. MK also gained over a minute on most of the other top GC contenders.

Time lost to Nibali today (the amount of time Nibali gained on each of the following potential GC competitors):

Kwiatkowski: :48

Van Den Broeck 1:43

Porte  1:52

Talansky 2:03

Pinot 2:09

Rui Costa 2:09

Valverde 2:09

Bardet 2:09

First-time TDF stage winner 28-year-old, Lars Boom

Van Garderen 2:09

Mollema 2:25

Contador 2:35

Konig 3:27

Peraud 3:27

Zubeldia 3:57

Rolland 3:57

Horner 3:57

F. Schleck 7:51

Navarro 22:21

Purito Rodriguez 22:21

Most of the top domestiques (like Rogers, Roche and Majka for Contador) also conceded very large chunks of time, so before the race even hits the mountains, few if any teams have more than one top GC hopeful. Nibali and Fuglsang are currently sitting pretty, in case anything should happen to Nibali and Astana need an alternative; but Fuglsang will more likely sacrifice all to lead Nibali through the mountains when the time comes.

**[I do not accept any arguments that the cobbles do not belong in the Tour De France, even if it rains. First, the cobbles are a very characteristic and traditional facet of racing in France. Second, looking at today's carnage, it is obvious that most of the crashes occurred on the "normal" roads.  It wasn't the pavé that was the danger, it was the rain--and those awful traffic circles.

And I did not see many more crashes today on the wet pavé than I usually see when it is dry. The riders are in a race, they can choose how fast they want to take any stretch of road--or cobbles, or turns, or descents. No one is forcing them to ride faster than they feel is safe. Risk-taking is one of many ways that champions use to enhance their advantage, in every kind of competition.]
