André Greipel (on right) wins Tour stage 15.
The Race: At last, the sprinters had a stage that suited their talents. Le Tour summed up the situation thusly:
In its first fourteen stages, the Tour de France has made some people happy in the peloton but the majority remains disappointed or frustrated. Sprinters top that list. They've had very few opportunities to play on their favorite terrain so far because of some uphill finishes, so only two of them have found the way to glory: André Greipel (twice) and Mark Cavendish. Peter Sagan is yet to win a stage but he has almost secured the green jersey after winning the intermediate sprint of stage 14 and finishing fifth in Mende.
Giant-Alpecin is probably the hungriest team. During the off season, they had targeted stage wins in the first week with four different riders: Tom Dumoulin in the inaugural time trial [he came third], Marcel Kittel in Zealand [he didn't make the Tour team after being sidelined by a virus], John Degenkolb on the cobblestones or in one of the uphill finishes and Warren Barguil in one of the two Murs (Huy or Bretagne). The reality is that they are still at zero.
Alexander Kristoff is the other sprinter with no result so far but his Katusha team has already won two stages with Joaquim Rodriguez. Orica-GreenEdge has been the unluckiest team in terms of injuries but Michael Matthews seems to get better.
After Rui Costa's abandon, Lampre-Merida's chance to do something is with their sprinter Davide Cimolai who already won in the Rhône valley [in Rasteau] at Paris-Nice. So it makes a big number of sprinters teams in addition to the already successful Belgians Lotto-Soudal and Etixx-Quick Step. Stage 15 to Valence is definitely dedicated to sprinters who will have only one opportunity after this one. In Paris.
Etixx-Quick Step’s director Davide Bramati explained, "Of course this stage suits Mark Cavendish, but it's going to be difficult to control the race today. The early part is tricky. There's a hill in the first ten kilometers. It can favor a long lasting breakaway. If they're twenty at the front like yesterday, it'll be mission impossible. If they're five or six, we'll cooperate with the other sprinters' teams with the hope for Mark to win another stage.
"Everyone is tired. Greipel crashed yesterday. But Sagan showed he's still in good form with the fifth place in Mende. Mark Renshaw had been disqualified at Bourg-lès-Valence in 2010 but he's not there for revenge. We just hope he'll be there to lead Mark out as well as he did in Fougères."
172 riders rolled off at 1:06 PM and the aggression began immediately. After the first climb, the third category Côte de Badaroux, there were 27 riders off the front with Katusha pulling the peloton.
As the racers screamed along, Cannondale-Garin rider Sebastian Leganveld surrendered to his ongoing illness and abandoned.
There was some grouping and re-grouping in the break and after sixty kilometers of racing at nearly fifty kilometers an hour, there were nine riders ninety seconds in front of the pack with eleven riders, including Mark Cavendish, off the back. The nine in front were: Thibaut Pinot, Michael Rogers, Peter Sagan, Lars Bak, Simon Geschke, Sean Yates, Michal Kwiatkowski, Matteo Trentin, and Ryder Hesjedal. Sagan no doubt was thinking of the intermediate sprint, about two thirds into the stage, to increase his lead in the points competition.
One hundred kilometers into the stage, the stragglers with Cavendish, Peter Kennaugh and Simon Yates, now 23 riders, were trailing the peloton by more than six minutes.
Come the intermediate sprint, Michael Rogers successfully led out teammate Peter Sagan, allowing Sagan to further pad his points classification leadership. With the nine still two minutes ahead, Katusha worked the front of the peloton with a will, intent upon bringing the escapees back to the fold. Meanwhile, as the race approached the final climb, the second-category Col de l'Escrinet, the dropped riders remained more than six minutes behind the main group.
Europcar moved to the front to help bring the break back, and as the riders descended the Escrinet, the gap was down to a minute. Meanwhile, it looked as if the dropped sprinters' group had given up. They were roughly ten minutes behind the fast-moving pack.
The pack's chasing efforts paid off. Before the descending to the base of the Escrinet, seven of the breakaways had been caught with only Trentin and Hesjedal still away, but only by 50 seconds.
And even a strong pair like Trentin and Hesjedal couldn't resist the determined efforts of the sprinters' teams to bring it all together for a big romp at the end. With 29 kilometers to go, the pair were rounded up and back in the pack. But the fastest of them all, Mark Cavendish, would not be able to join in the big rush. He and his group were now twelve minutes back.
In the closing kilometers, BMC took over the duty of leading the peloton. But, it was André Greipel (Lotto-Soudal) who prevailed to win the stage, his third stage victory of this Tour. John Degenkolb was second and Alexander Kristoff came in third. Even though Greipel got fifty points for the stage win, Peter Sagan remained in firm control of the Green Jersey.
The GC men finished safely, leaving the top of the GC standings unchanged. Froome was still safely in Yellow.
