Steve Cummings wins Tour stage 14

The Race: Today’s fourteenth stage was a seriously challenging transition stage, as the riders headed for their appointment with the Alps on Monday. There were four rated climbs, two category-four and two second-category ascents. The second of those tougher climbs was the ten-percent, three-kilometer Côte de la Croix Neuve that led to the stage finish at Mende.

Before the stage began, Katusha director Jose Azevedo said this, “Obviously it's a stage that suits Joaquim [Rodriguez]. Since he won in Mende in 2010, everyone knows that. But in the same time, we're not going to control the race for him today. If there's a breakaway, he won't go in it, but if we're all together at the bottom of the climb and he has an opportunity, he will take it for sure. We're not going to control the race for Joaquim because our main objective now is next week. And also we have a stage for sprinters the next day and it's the last chance for Alexander Kristoff to win a stage before the Champs-Elysees. We're hoping for a third stage win for Purito, but more in the Alps than in Mende actually. As for the polka dot jersey, it will be complicated because of the double points system at mountain top finishes.”

Rodriguez intentionally lost nearly ten minutes yesterday so that if and when he attacks in search of stage wins, he would be granted more freedom because he was no longer a GC threat. He won in Mende when the Tour finished there five years ago.

All 175 stage thirteen finishers started today at 12:48 PM under a hot sun with thunder storms threatening to harass the riders near the stage’s end. There were several attempts to duplicate the action of the last few days’ action when breaks had rolled off at the gun. But today the initial tries were snuffed out. There was an early crash that forced FDJ rider Steve Morabito to abandon with a broken collarbone.

Peter Sagan was clearly ambitious today, wanting to get away in anticipation of the intermediate sprint that would come about a third into the stage. He was successful on his third escape attempt, and four others made common cause with the Green Jersey with another nineteen chasing hard. With about thirty-six kilometers raced, there were 24 riders almost a minute up the road: Andriy Grivko (Astana), Matthieu Ladagnous (FDJ), Peter Sagan (Tinkoff-Saxo), Adriano Malori (Movistar), Warren Barguil and Koen de Kort (Giant-Alpecin), Giampaolo Caruso and Alberto Losada (Katusha), Pieter Weening and Simon Yates (Orica-GreenEdge), Rigoberto Uran (Etixx-Quick Step), Pierre Rolland and Cyril Gautier (Europcar), Bob Jungels (Trek), Ruben Plaza and Rafael Valls (Lampre-Merida), Andrew Talansky and Ryder Hesjedal (Cannondale-Garmin), Luis Angel Maté (Cofidis), Jarlinson Pantano (IAM), Bartosz Huzarski and Paul Voss (Bora), Pierre-Luc Périchon (Bretagne-Séché Environnement) and Stephen Cummings (MTN-Qhubeka).

The hard racing that included the first climb, the Côte de Pont-de-Salars, caused about thirty riders to get dropped. IAM Cycling was at the front of the peloton, keeping the break from running away with the race.

Sagan did win the intermediate sprint, and after several attacks and counter-attacks, with one hundred kilometers raced, the front group had twenty riders, with the Sky-led peloton seven minutes back.

Giant-Alpecin rider Ramon Sinkeldam, too sick to continue racing, abandoned.
As the race approached the beginning the stage’s hilly finishing forty kilometers, the twenty breakaways were six and a half minutes in front of the peloton. As the the second-category Côte de Sauveterre began to bite, the peloton started to spit riders out the back, including André Greipel, who was caught in that early crash that sent Morabito home, and Alexander Kristoff. The purer sprinters, knowing they could not prevail today, probably wanted to save their strength for tomorrow’s stage, which would be better suited to their talents.

Matthieu Ladagnous was first over the Sauveterre, with the pack now only five minutes back. Michal Golas thought he would try his luck and soon after cresting the hill, he took off, alone. He was quickly joined by Kristijan Koren. After the fourth-category Côte de Chabrit, the pair were only 12 seconds in front of the main break and six minutes ahead of the main pack.

Now the only obstacle was the finishing climb to Mende. Back in the peloton, Rodriguez let himself be dropped, probably because a stage win was out of the question with the break so far up the road. Jean-Christophe Peraud, who crashed so badly yesterday, was also struggling.

As the climb began, Romain Bardet attacked, passing Golas and Koren. Simon Yates caught Bardet, but had trouble holding his wheel. Then Stephen Cummings came after them, caught and passed the French pair and then kept going. Others went by the pair as well. Cummings was first across the line to win the stage with Thibaut Pinot second and Bardet third.

Back in the peloton, Nairo Quintana accelerated with Vincenzo Nibali on his wheel. Quintana went again, taking Chris Froome with him. As they came to the line Froome went by Quintana to make it clear he was the best of the riders competing for the Yellow Jersey.

Froome had increased his lead, now 3min 10sec over the new second place, Quintana, with Tejay van Garderen pushed down to third place, at 3min 32sec.

Cummings, riding for the African MTN-Qhubeka squad, won today on Nelson Mandela day. Lovely.

The day's intense drama is well-captured on the video.
