Joaquin Rodriguez wins stage 12.
The Race: There were 177 riders at the start line today. Every rider who finished yesterday began today’s stage. This was an even more challenging day than the previous two days in the Pyrenees. La Tour summed up the situation thus:
“It gets harder and harder every day in the Pyrenees. With just one big climb to start with after the rest day in Pau, a light uphill finish in Cauterets after climbing the legendary Tourmalet, stage 12 is the queen stage of the first block of mountains. The first difficulty is the col de Portet-d'Aspet where a tribute will be paid to Fabio Casartelli twenty years after his tragic death. The Col de Core and Port de Lers will take their toll before the expected big fight between the top guns.
“Chris Froome is ready to defend his yellow jersey and the important advantage he has already built for himself. Vincenzo Nibali's acceleration on the way up to the Tourmalet has evidenced that the losers won't easily surrender. Tejay van Garderen, Nairo Quintana and Alberto Contador haven't yet accepted the idea that the race is over.
“The ‘Big Five’ remain wild animals, prompt to leap on their prey. Shall the race leader have any weakness, the face of the Tour could be changed. The 195km race is so long that it's also another opportunity for long lasting attackers. The likes of Christophe Riblon can be suspected to be willing to go away from far out. It's time for some teams to make it up for the lost illusions.
“AG2R-La Mondiale already can't repeat last year's success on GC with Jean-Christophe Péraud second and Romain Bardet sixth. At least they have bagged a brilliant stage victory with Alexis Vuillermoz at Mûr de Bretagne but some other teams are under pressure to perform somehow and not leave the Tour empty handed.”
The long, hard stage started at 11:18 AM, but Chris Froome had been awake for hours, having been called to the anti-doping control. With a hot day forecast, Froome said, "I was woken up at 6:30 for an anti-doping control this morning. I'm not afraid of the heat today. I was born in Kenya. It's hot there too."
The intermediate sprint would come at only the twentieth kilometer, so Lotto-Soudal went immediately to the front to work for André Greipel. And Greipel won the sprint, followed by John Degenkolb and Peter Sagan. Sagan’s third place was good enough to allow him to retain the green jersey with Greipel just two points behind.
Immediately after the sprint, twenty-two riders broke away, the best placed escapee being Jakob Fuglsang, eighteenth at 19min 14sec: Lieuwe Westra, Jakob Fuglsang (Astana), Matthieu Ladagnous, Jérémy Roy (FDJ), Gorka Izagirre (Movistar), Michal Kwiatkowski (Etixx), Romain Bardet, Mickaël Chérel, Christophe Riblon (AG2R), Jan Barta (Bora), Bryan Coquard, Romain Sicard (Europcar), Kristjian Durasek (Lampre), Dani Navarro (Cofidis), Sylvain Chavanel, Jérôme Coppel (IAM), Joaquim Rodriguez (Katusha), Frédéric Brun, Anthony Delaplace (Bretagne-Séché), Louis Meintjes (MTN), Georg Preidler (Giant), Sep Vanmarcke (LottoNL-Jumbo).
At the top to the Portet d’Aspet, 57 kilometers into the stage, the break was five minutes ahead of the field with two riders, Marcel Sieberg (Lotto-Soudal) and Angelo Tulik (Europcar), chasing, a minute behind. On the way up the mountain, the race passed the memorial to Fabio Casartelli.
Alex Dowsett, who was injured in the Tour’s early days, was dropped on the climb and after doing his best to stay in the race, finally abandoned.
As the break started ascending the first-category Col de la Core, it was more than six minutes ahead of the peloton. It started to come apart as the climb began to bite, with about thirteen riders leaving the others behind. But near the top, all twenty-two were together with a light drizzle falling on the riders.
At the top of the Aspet, the pack was eight and a half minutes back with the riders facing a technical descent on wet roads as the rain continued to fall.
Descending the Aspet, the rain stopped as the break grew its lead to nearly eleven minutes. On the slopes of the penultimate climb, the first-category Port de Lers, three riders went clear from the break: Michal Kwiatkowski, Georg Preidler and Sep Vanmarcke.
Cresting the Port de Lers, Michal Kwiatkowski and Sep Vanmarcke separated themselves from the lead group and went over the top about a minute ahead of the closest chasers, led by Mikaël Chérel. The main pack was about ten minutes back.
And then the weather fell apart. It started pouring rain on the Plateau de Beille, with even hailstones falling on the finish line. At the bottom of the big climb, with seventeen kilometers to go, the lead pair were still ninety seconds ahead of their nearest chasers.
Kwiatkowski soon dropped Vanmarcke with the chasing group breaking up. It was soon down to Kwiatkowski alone with Joaquin Rodriguez, Romain Bardet and Jakob Fuglsang chasing, a minute behind. With nine kilometers to go, the Tinkoff-Saxo led peloton, quickly down from forty to about fifteen riders, was nine minutes back.
Rodriguez separated himself from the other two and went off in search of Kwiatkowski, whom he quickly passed. Then Fuglsang caught up to Kwiatkowski and then went by. Back in the Yellow Jersey group, Contador, who had not been looking good, attacked. He was caught and then Nibali tried to get away. Alejandro Valverde, who has been riding a great Tour, jumped away to join Nibali. Nothing doing. The pair were soon brought back. Four kilometers from the top the Yellow Jersey group was eleven riders strong: Pinot, Froome, Porte, Thomas, Contador, Quintana, Valverde, Van Garderen, Rolland, Mollema and Nibali.
Rodriguez continued to pour it on and with three kilometers to go he was seventy seconds ahead of Fuglsang, with Bardet another twenty seconds back.
With just two kilometers remaining, Froome jumped and Quintana, Contador and van Garderen were able to bridge up to him.
Rodriguez did it! He took the prestigious stage, his second win of this Tour. Rodriguez also won stage three at the top of the Mur de Huy. Jakob Fuglsang followed at 72 seconds and Romain Bardet was third, at 1min 49sec.
Chris Froome finished safely, about seven minutes behind Rodriguez, to retain his overall lead.
