Etappenrennen, Tour de France, ,

TOUR DE FRANCE 2023 – STAGE 21
SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES – PARIS CHAMPS-ÉLYSÉES
2X3: AN UNPRECEDENTED RIVALRY
Never before the Tour saw the same two riders take the first two positions in three consecutive editions. It’s also the first time we see a rider (Tadej Pogacar) win two editions in a row before another one (Jonas Vingegaard) emulates him.
The last time a rider won the Tour two years in a row with the same runner-up was in 1978-79, when Bernard Hinault got the best of Joop Zoetemelk on both occasions.

7’29”: THE BIG GAP
Jonas Vingegaard’s winning margin for this Tour is 7’29” (over Tadej Pogacar): the largest since 2014, when Vincenzo Nibali won with 7’37” over Jean-Christophe Peraud.

1: WINNING FROM THE WINNERS
First Tour de France win for Jordi Meeus, at his first win in a Grand Tour. This year he had won the Circuit de Wallonie on the 18th of May. In France, he had won the 2021 edition of the Paris-Bourges.
Jordi Meeus won from two winners of the Champs-Elysées: Jasper Philipsen (2022) and Dylan Groenewegen (2017).

2: VINGEGAARD’S 2ND WIN
Jonas Vingegaard joins 13 riders who have won the Tour twice.
Among them, here are the ones who have done it in two consecutive years:
• Lucien Petit-Breton, 1907-08,
• Ottavio Bottecchia, 1924-25,
• Nicolas Frantz, 1927-28
• Laurent Fignon, 1983-84
• Tadej Pogacar, 2020-21
• Jonas Vingegaard, 2022-23

17: WINS UP FOR GRABS
There have been 17 different stage winners in this Tour. Considering only individual stages, it’s the highest value since 2008.
Only two riders won more than once in this edition: Jasper Philipsen and Tadej Pogacar, something that hadn’t happened since 2015 (André Greipel 4, Joaquim Rodriguez 2).

11: CLOSE TO THE RECORD!
11 different countries have won at this Tour. It’s the second value in history, recorded 6 times in the past, and just one short of the record of 12 set in 2007 and equalled in 2020.
Great Britain (Adam Yates), France (Victor Lafay), Belgium (Jasper Philipsen), Australia (Jai Hindley), Slovenia (Tadej Pogacar, Matej Mohoric), Denmark (Mads Pedersen, Jonas Vingegaard, Kasper Asgreen), Canada (Michael Woods), Spain (Pello Bilbao, Ion Izagirre, Carlos Rodriguez), Poland (Michal Kwiatkowski), Netherlands (Wout Poels), Austria (Felix Gall).

T – 75: POGACAR LEAVES HIS MARK ON THE WHITE JERSEY
Winner of the best young rider standings in his first four Tour de France participations, Tadej Pogacar collected 75 of the 84 (89%) white jerseys on offer since the beginning of the 2020 edition. From next year, the Slovenian wonderkid won’t be part of the best young rider competition anymore.

6: AN EARLY RULER
Jonas Vingegaard took the yellow jersey on day 6 and kept it all the way to Paris. It’s the first time since 1981 the winner of the race powers to the GC lead so early and it only happened six times in the whole history of the Tour. In recent years, Chris Froome took the yellow jersey for good on stage 7 both in 2012 and 2015.

70 & 40: DENMARK 70 TIMES IN YELLOW
70th Maillot Jaune for Denmark: the first came 40 years ago on the 3rd stage, Kim Andersen in Roubaix (4th of July).

Jordi Meeus gewinnt auf der Champs-Élysées und Jai Hindley beendet die Tour de France auf Rang sieben der Gesamtwertung

Die letzte Etappe der Tour de France 2023 führte das Feld heute wie gewohnt nach Paris. Bekannt als Tour d’Honneurwurde der erste Teil zum Feiern genutzt und das Feld bewegte sich langsam in Richtung Zielrunden auf der Champs-Élysèes, wo das Rennen dann wieder seinen üblichen Lauf nahm. Einige Ausreißer versuchten ihr Glück, doch am Ende kam es zum erwarteten Massensprint. BORA – hansgrohe positionierte Jordi Meeus vor den letzten 1000 m unter den ersten 10. Jordi konnte auf der Zielgeraden zuerst das richtige Hinterrad nehmen und flog auf den letzten 100 m noch an Philipsen vorbei zum Sieg.

Mit dem siebenten Gesamtrang, zwei Etappensiegen und einem Tag in Gelb kann BORA – hansgrohe ein positives Resümee über die Tour de France 2023 ziehen.

Von der Ziellinie
„Das ist der größte Tag meiner Karriere. Ich wusste, es ist mehr drin, als ich hier bisher zeigen konnte. Heute hat endlich alles geklappt. Ich bin stolz, das heute so beendet zu haben. Ich habe mich den ganzen Tag super gefühlt. Danny und Marco waren zum richtigen Zeitpunkt bei mir und haben mich nach vorne gefahren. Ich hatte das Hinterrad von Jasper und war in perfekter Position, um am Ende vorbeizuziehen. Ich kann eigentlich nicht in Worte fassen, wie ich mich jetzt fühle.“ – Jordi Meeus

“Es war ein echt hartes Rennen mit schwierigen Etappen von Beginn an. Wir hatten schöne Momente, einen Etappensieg und für einen Tag das Gelbe Trikot. Das war unglaublich. In der Gesamtwertung war ich vorne dabei, bis ich auf der 14. Etappe den Sturz hatte. Den Impact habe ich bis zum Ende des Rennens gespürt und die harte Arbeit, die wir in der Vorbereitung investiert haben und die gute Form der ersten Woche wurde dann leider nicht belohnt. Das ist natürlich schade, denn wir waren auf einem guten Weg. Dennoch haben wir gekämpft und alles versucht und die Unterstützung der ganzen Mannschaft war grandios. Wir haben immer zusammengehalten. Zu Beginn bei den Erfolgen, aber auch als es schlechter lief. Am Ende ist Rang sieben immer noch ein respektables Ergebnis für meine erste Tour de France und wir können stolz sein, was wir hier geleistet haben. Es ist vielleicht nicht das Ergebnis, das wir uns erhofft haben, aber es war eine gute Tour. Das Wichtigste ist aber, dass wir immer zusammengehalten haben und ein Team waren. Die Stimmung war sehr gut und wir hatten Spaß. Es war eine tolle Reise mit den Jungs. Ich möchte mich daher beim gesamten Team bedanken, aber auch bei den vielen Fans. Diese Tour war ein echtes Erlebnis für mich.” – Jai Hindley

„Für uns war diese Tour ein wenig wie das Streckenprofil: Viel Auf und Ab mit ein paar Flachetappen. Wir hatten einen tollen Start mit einem Etappensieg und dem Gelben Trikot. Danach waren wir auf Podium-Kurs und haben unsere Position verteidigt. Aber nach dem Sturz von Jai waren wir auf einer langen Talfahrt. Wir haben ein paar Positionen verloren und es war ein harter Kampf für alle, aber besonders für Jai, halbwegs vorne dranzubleiben. Ich denke, wir alle sind froh, nun in Paris zu sein und die Tour erhobenen Hauptes zu beenden. Der Teamspirit war grandios und wirklich jeder hat alles gegeben, auch die Jungs fürs Flache haben Jai in den Bergen so gut wie möglich unterstütz. Das war toll zu sehen und ist vielleicht auch das, was wir für die Zukunft mitnehmen können. Mit so einem Zusammenhalt im Team können wir viel erreichen. Die Tour mit so einem Hoch wie heute zu beenden ist natürlich etwas Besonderes. Jordi hat heute alles richtig gemacht und einen unglaublichen Sprint gezeigt. Wir könnten eigentlich nicht glücklicher sein als gerade eben.“ – Rolf Aldag, Sportlicher Leiter

Jordi Meeus takes the final stage
Tour de France 2023 | Stage 21 | Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines > Paris Champs-Élysées

Jordi Meeus (Bora-Hansgrohe) won the conclusive stage of the 110th Tour de France in Paris/Champs-Elysées in a bunch gallop that saw Jasper Philipsen and Dylan Groenewegen rounding out the podium in a very tight finish. Jonas Vingegaard became the 14th twice winner of the Tour de France, the first to achieve the Critérium du Dauphiné-Tour de France double since Geraint Thomas in 2018. Tadej Pogacar attacked on the Champs-Elysées but remained second overall. The same two riders finishing first and second two years in a row didn’t happen since Bernard Hinault and Joop Zoetemelk in 1978-79. The same two riders in the first two places at the end three years running is a first in the history of the race.

CAMPENAERTS AND CICCONE CELEBRATE THEIR ACHIEVEMENT

The start proper of stage 21 was given to 150 riders at 16.38. Victor Campenaerts (Lotto-Dstny) attacked from the gun with the consent of the peloton to celebrate his super combative award but he sat up quickly this time! After the traditional toasts and pictures, Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek) crested the côte du pavé des Gardes (cat. 4), the only categorized climb of the day, in first position, cheered up by his team-mates Mads Pedersen and Mattias Skjelmose.

POGACAR ON THE ATTACK

In the real race, Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) attacked with 49km remaining. It forced Nathan van Hooydonck (Jumbo-Visma) to catch him and Alpecin-Deceuninck to chase them down. The Slovenian won the intermediate sprint. A group of ten riders came across but it was all together again 33km before the end. Simon Clarke (Israel-Premier Tech), Nelson Oliveira (Movistar) and Frederik Frison (Lotto-Dstny) rode away with 30km to go. They got a maximum advantage of 20’’ with 20km remaining. It was bunched up again 10km before the end. The times were taken one lap before the finish as it started raining in Paris.

MEEUS, A PIECE FOR A MUSEEUM

Uno-X brought former Champs-Elysées winner Alexander Kristoff to the front. Cofidis also showed up in the first positions for Bryan Coquard with 3km to go. Alex Kirsch (Lidl-Trek) took the lead for Mads Pedersen. They were followed by Bora-Hansgrohe setting up the sprint for Jordi Meeus. Pogacar didn’t have enough racing as he passed the red flame of the last kilometre in first position while Vingegaard let himself distanced to celebrate with his team-mates as the times had been taken at bell lap due to the rain. Jonas Rickaert took the lead to pilot Philipsen to a second win in a row on the Champs-Elysées and a fifth on this Tour de France but his compatriot pipped him on the line in a tight finish that required watching the photo. Meeus was chosen by Bora-Hansgrohe to substitute Sam Bennett, the winner in Paris in 2020. He waited for his time to come. 6th in Bordeaux was his best result so far. This is his first Grand Tour victory in his first participation in the Tour de France.

Irrepressible Kopecky, irresistible SD Worx
Tour de France Femmes 2023 | Stage 1 | CLERMONT-FERRAND > CLERMONT-FERRAND

Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx) wrote another beautiful chapter of her already stellar career as she powered to the Maillot Jaune on the first stage of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift 2023. The Belgian icon, wearing her national champion jersey, dropped everyone with a strong attack on the final climb of the day, into the last 10 kilometres to go to Clermont-Ferrand. She pushed all the way to the line to take a spectacular solo victory with a gap of 41’’ to her first chasers, with her teammate Lorena Wiebes and DSM-Firmenich’s Charlotte Kool completing the stage top 3. Kopecky takes her 11th win this season. And her first on the roads of the Tour.

The 154-woman peloton sets off from Clermont-Ferrand at 12:15 to take on a 123.8km loop set to crown the first Maillot Jaune of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift 2023. Martina Alzini (Cofidis) is the first attacker of the race, at km 11. But the peloton doesn’t let her go.

Unsuccessful attacks
Marie Morgane Le Deunff (Arkéa) is the first attacker to open a gap, at km 18, only to be caught 6 km further. It’s then time for Typhaine Laurance (Lifeplus Wahoo) to lead the way from km 26 to 45, while Amandine Fouquenet (Arkéa) tries but fails to join her at the front. In the meantime, Mireia Benito (AG Insurance-Soudal Quick-Step) suffers a crash at km 27 and is forced to abandon.
The bunch rides together until tireless attacker Marta Lach (Ceratizit-WNT) sets off with 46 km to go. The former Polish national champion opens a gap of 50’’ but the bunch react and catch her ahead of the intermediate sprint in Saint-Hippolyte (26.7km to go).
Former world champion Lizzie Deignan (Lidl-Trek) goes first through the intermediate sprint. Yara Kastelijn (Fenix-Decuninck) tries to keep the momentum going after the line but everyone follows her.

Kopecky’s power
The rolling terrain and the pace are too much for many riders, including Elisa Balsamo. Her Lidl-Trek teammates try to control the finale alongside SD Worx, who up the ante with Marlen Reusser on the main climb of the day, Côte de Durtol (cat. 3), to be summited with 9.3km to go.
Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx) accelerates inside the last 5 kilometres. And nobody can follow her strong attack. She goes first at the summit and keeps pushing all the way to the line, building a gap of 41’’ at the finish. Lorena Wiebes dominates the sprint from the bunch to complete another 1-2 for SD Worx and confirm their dominance at the highest level of cycling.

TOUR DE FRANCE 2023 – STAGE 20
BELFORT – LE MARKSTEIN FELLERING

11: SLOVENIAN*S* BACK-TO-BACK
11th stage win for Tadej Pogacar, the 2nd this year after Cauterets-Cambasque. Slovenian wins are up to 17.
They win in back-to-back days with two different riders (Mohoric and Pogacar) like in Luz Ardiden and Libourne in 2021, when the winners were the same, in inverted order.
Last year the sole Pogacar won back-to-back on the 7th and 8th of July.

18,7: THIBAUT’S DREAM
According to NTT Data, Thibaut Pinot spent 18.7 kms alone in the front at 32.2 kph for a dream win to sign off his Tour de France participations.
It was a special day as it was exactly 4 years after his previous win, and this would have been his 4th stage win, but he was negated when the yellow jersey group upped the pace on the final climb.

7’29”: THE BIG GAP
Jonas Vingegaard’s winning margin for this Tour is set to be 7’29” (over Tadej Pogacar): the largest margin since 2014, when Vincenzo Nibali won with 7’37” over Jean-Christophe Peraud.

110,1: MICHAEL WOODS SETS THE RECORD
The downhill from Ballon d’Alsace was a speedy one, so much so that Michael Woods hit the fastest speed recorded by NTT Data in the Tour de France 2023: 110.1kph.
The highest speed registered so far was set by Anthony Turgis on the downhill from Col du Tourmalet: 107.7kph.

26’49”: PINOT GIVES EVERYTHING ON THE PETIT BALLON
With his fans waiting for him a couple of kilometres away from the summit, Thibaut Pinot went on the move up the climb of Petit Ballon. The local hero dropped his breakaway companions and covered the last 5 kilometres at an average speed of 21.5kph, according to NTT Data, to reach the summit with a time of 26’49’’ on the Strava segment, a bit less than 30’’ faster than Thomas De Gendt and Tim Wellens when they did the ascent in a training camp in July 2020.

1992: CICCONE, PRIDE OF ITALY
Giulio Ciccone is the first non-Tour de France winner to be crowned King of the Mountains since Romain Bardet in 2019. Tadej Pogacar in 2020 and 2021 and Jonas Vingegaard in 2022 received the polka dot jersey in Paris since the Frenchman. The last Italian KOM winner had been Claudio Chiappucci in 1992.

3: STRONG TEAM-MATES
Adam Yates kept his 3rd place on the GC. UAE Team Emirates is set to be the first team with two riders on the final podium (Pogacar and Yates) since Ineos in 2019 (Bernal winner, Thomas 2nd).

70: THE ROUND NUMBER COMES TOMORROW
69th Maillot Jaune for Denmark: they are set to hit 70 tomorrow in Paris.

3X3: NEARLY THEIR BEST TOUR
15th stage win for UAE Team Emirates, the 3rd this year, like 2022 and 2021. Their best Tour remains 2020, with 4 stage wins.

3: A NICE SET FOR GALL
Hat-trick of stage podiums for Felix Gall in this Tour: 1st in Courchevel, 2nd today, 3rd in Laruns.

Jai Hindley bleibt auf Rang sieben der Gesamtwertung vor dem Tour de France Finale in Paris

Eine letzte Bergetappe wartete heute auf das Feld der Tour de France, bevor es morgen in Richtung Paris geht. Nach einigen Attacken setzte sich an der ersten Bergwertung eine Gruppe vom Feld ab. Am vorletzten Anstieg erhöhte das Feld das Tempo und im Schlussanstieg attackierte T. Pogacar. Pogacar, Vingegaard und Gall setzten sich vom Rest der Favoriten ab und überholten schnell die letzten Ausreißer. Jai Hindley fuhr zu diesem Zeitpunkt mit C. Rodriguez in einer Verfolgergruppe und versuchte den Zeitabstand zur Spitze in Grenzen zu halten. Kurz vor dem Ziel konnten die beiden Yates Brüder noch zur Spitze aufschließen, aber am Ende holte T. Pogacar den Etappensieg. Jai erreichte das Ziel auf Rang 11 und bleibt damit auch siebenter der Gesamtwertung vor der morgigen letzten Etappe.

Von der Ziellinie
“Es waren drei Wochen voller Hochs und Tiefs, aber am Ende haben wir uns nichts vorzuwerfen. Ich habe eine Etappe gewonnen und einen Tag Gelb getragen, da kann man sich nicht beschweren. Die Gesamtwertung wollte ich einfach auf mich zukommen lassen, aber es lief gut und ich war ganz vorne dabei. Dann wurde ich krank und bin einmal gestürzt. Ich war ziemlich beeinträchtigt und konnte meine Leistung nicht mehr richtig abrufen. Aber ich habe dennoch jeden Tag bei meiner ersten Tour de France genossen und jetzt freue ich mich einfach auf Paris.” – Jai Hindley

Pogacar-Vingegaard till the end

The duel between Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar lasted till the very end of the very last mountain stage of the 110th Tour de France as the Slovenian outsprinted the Dane at Le Markstein to claim his 11th stage win, the second one this year. Felix Gall placed himself between them and Vingegaard retained the yellow jersey on the eve of the grand finale in Paris, but the second last stage was truly the expected fireworks for Thibaut Pinot who rode alone in the lead in front of his fans before crossing the line in seventh position.

NO OPPOSITION TO CICCONE FOR THE POLKA DOT JERSEY

The start proper of stage 20 was given to 151 riders at 13.44. As usual, Victor Campenaerts (Lotto-Dstny) was the first attacker, accompanied this time by his team-mate Jasper De Buyst. Up to Ballon d’Alsace, Campenaerts soloed until he was reeled in 4.4km before the summit. The peloton was compact at the top and the sprint for the KOM was won by Giulio Ciccone who appeared as the only rider interested to contest the polka dot jersey among the four who were still mathematically in the situation of winning it. Carlos Rodriguez (Ineos Grenadiers), 4th overall, crashed at km 33. Once he made it back to the pack, a group of 16 riders including Jonas Vingegaard but not Tadej Pogacar. The yellow jersey eventually sat up to give a chance to the breakaway to succeed.

PINOT’S LAST DANCE IN FRONT OF HIS FANS

Some of these attackers managed to stay away and formed a 6-man leading group with 80km to go: Ciccone and Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek), Krists Neilands (Israel-Premier Tech), Warren Barguil (Arkea-Samsic), Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) and Maxime Van Gils (Lotto-Dstny). A counter-attack involved Thibaut Pinot, Valentin Madouas, Stefan Küng (Groupama-FDJ), Rigoberto Uran (EF Education-EasyPost), Chris Harper (Jayco-AlUla), Ion Izagirre (Cofidis) and Kevin Vermaerke (DSM-Firmenich). Pinot made it across by himself on the way up to col de Grosse Pierre eventually crested in first position by Ciccone. It became a group of 10 with 63km to go with Madouas, Uran and Vermaerke reaching the lead after Harper. Ciccone mathematically won the KOM competition at col de la Schlucht 54km before the end.

A WINNING SPRINT FOR POGACAR AT THE END

UAE Team Emirates chased hard at the helm of the main peloton. Up to Petit Ballon, Madouas, Pinot, Ciccone, Pidcock and Barguil got a maximum advantage of 1’30’’ over the yellow jersey group. 5.5km before the summit, Pinot went solo. He crested Petit Ballon alone after being hugely celebrated by his fans for his last mountain stage in the Tour de France. In the yellow jersey group reduced to ten riders, Pogacar attacked for the first time 14km before the end. The trio Pogacar-Vingegaard-Gall passed Pinot, who had been rejoined by Barguil and Pidcock, 3km before the summit of Platzerwasel and went on to contest the stage victory. Simon and Adam Yates caught up with the leading trio with 5km to go.
