Rated ascents:

The Race: Today was a visit to Belgium’s hills, as l’Equipe put it, “a taste of Flèche Wallonne at the Tour de France”. The day finished atop Mur de Huy, which averages 9.6%, but has a maximum of 19%.

According to l’Equipe, GC leader Fabian Cancellara has equaled Eddy Merckx in one aspect, wearing yellow in six different Tours. Only Bernard Hinault beats them, being the Tour leader in eight editions of the Tour de France.

At the drop of the start flag, four riders scooted off the front: Bryan Nauleau (Europcar), Serge Pauwels (MTN-Qhubeka), Jan Barta (Bora-Argon 18) and Martin Elmiger (IAM). By the 40th kilometer, the quartet had a lead of four minutes. With the coming difficult climbs, the peloton seemed content to let the break stay up the road for a while.

Today’s route went by Eddy Merckx’s birthplace, at kilometer 47.5. The greatest racer of all time is seventy years old. It seems like just yesterday he was winning everything.

The peloton didn’t want the break to run away with the race and with 70 kilometers to race, the gap was down to 1min 40sec.

Two-thirds into the stage some bad crashes occurred. Three riders (William Bonnet, Tom Dumoulin and Simon Gerrans) had to abandon. Dumoulin was taken away in an ambulance. The stage was neutralized twice and then stopped for a short time. Soon thereafter, Dmitry Kosontchuk (Katusha) also quit the race.

With a about forty kilometers to go, the riders started racing again with Sky hitting the front. That caused a split in the peloton with Fabian Cancellara, who was hurt in one of the crashes, being in the second group.

With 32 kilometers to go the front riders still had a fifteen-second lead on the Cancellara group with several riders clearly suffering from the crashes and very badly dropped: Michael Matthews (Orica), Johan Vansummeren (AG2R), Greg Henderson (Lotto), Laurens ten Dam (LottoNL-Jumbo).

After the intermediate sprint (won by André Greipel), with 28 kilometers to race, the second large group caught the first. Then Cancellara was dropped again.

With ten kilometers to go, and two climbs remaining, the main pack was down to 110 riders with Sky and Etixx-Quick Step hammering away at the front and the dropped riders more than five minutes back. On the Côte de Cherave, both Thibaut Pinot and Rui Costa were dropped! That left things to be settled on the Mur de Huy with the front group down to 40 riders and the peloton a half-minute behind.

On the Mur de Huy Christopher Froome and Alberto Contador hit the front and began dueling for the win.

But, it was Joaquin Rodriguez who took the stage with Froome second, Alexis Vuillermoz third. Alberto Contador was badly distanced, 18 seconds behind Froome, who is now the new overall leader.

Post-race note: It turns out Fabian Cancellara fractured two vertebrae when he crashed. After completing the stage Cancellara went to the hospital where he was informed of his condition. He has quit the 2015 Tour. Please get better soon Fabian.
