July 20 th 2019 – 17:29
Thibaut Pinot claimed his third stage win in the Tour de France after Porrentruy 2012 and L’Alpe d’Huez 2015 as he stormed to victory at the top of Tourmalet while Julian Alaphilippe, second on the line with a deficit of six seconds, retained the yellow jersey and extended his lead over Steven Kruijswijk and Geraint Thomas.
17 riders in the lead, including Nibali and Sagan
164 riders took the start of stage 14 in Tarbes. One non-starter: Maximilian Schachmann (Bora-Hansgrohe). Vincenzo Nibali (Bahrain-Merida) was the first man to attack after the flag off postponed 6.5km further than planned. Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) went across to him, forming a duo of former team-mates at Liquigas (from 2010 to 2012). With 96km to go, it became a group of 17 riders with the addition of Alexis Vuillermoz (AG2R-La Mondiale), Matej Mohoric (Bahrain-Merida), Matthieu Ladagnous (Groupama-FDJ), Carlos Verona (Movistar), Luis Leon Sanchez (Astana), Sergio Henao (UAE Team Emirates), Lennard Kämna (Sunweb), Tim Wellens (Lotto-Soudal), Lilian Calmejane, Romain Sicard and Rein Taaramëe (Total Direct Energie), Ilnur Zakarin and Marco Haller (Katusha-Alpecin), Guillaume Martin (Wanty-Groupe Gobert) and Elie Gesbert (Arkéa-Samsic). Groupama-FDJ and Deceuninck-Quick Step set the pace at the head of the peloton after counter-attackers Pierre-Luc Périchon (Cofidis) and Simon Geschke (CCC) were reeled in. The time gap was stabilized under three minutes before climbing to the first category col du Soulor.
Tim Wellens first at col du Soulor
Nibali reacted to an attack by Wellens 2.5km before the col du Soulor. Gesbert made it across. Nibali showed some interest for the polka dot jersey as he tried to go solo before the summit but Wellens outsprinted him way before the line while the category one climb had made some damage in the yellow jersey group with Romain Bardet (AG2R-La Mondiale), Adam Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) and Patrick Konrad (Bora-Hansgrohe) among the riders unexpectedly dropped as Ineos and Movistar succeeded to Groupama-FDJ at the helm. Nibali, Wellens and Gesbert kept going in the valley leading to the Tourmalet. Wellens also passed first at the intermediate sprint with 37.5km to go while Movistar put the hammer down at the head of the peloton. The leading trio was caught by five chasers. One of them, Sicard, counter-attacked with 35km remaining.
Gesbert, Barguil and Gaudu in action at the Tourmalet
Sicard started climbing to the Tourmalet alone but Gesbert passed him 16km before the summit and continued solo. A Breton rider succeeded to another one as Gesbert got caught with 10.5km to go and Warren Barguil (Arkéa-Samsic) escaped 9.5km before the top. He stayed away for 4km. A third Breton rider attacked 4km before the end: David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ). Jumbo-Visma, the only team with three riders in the 12-man group, brought him back. 12 climbers remained at the front 3km before the end: Pinot, Landa, Fuglsang, Bernal, Thomas, De Plus, Bennett, Kruijswijk, Alaphilippe, Urán, Buchmann and Barguil. Being the defending champion, Thomas was the most notable rider to lose contact before the top. Pinot accelerated 250 metres before the finishing line. Buchmann and Bernal were last to resist but the Frenchman upped the speed again and powered to victory with a 6’’ difference to Alaphilippe who took one more step in the lead of the overall ranking as he extended his advantage over all of his other rivals.

PINOT FEELS „COMFORTED“ AHEAD OF LA VUELTA

Etappenrennen, Vorschau, , ,


Two months after abandoning the Giro d’Italia, Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ) made his return to competition with a podium finish at the Tour of Pologne. “Now we can prepare for La Vuelta with a relaxed mind”, the French climber says ahead of his third participation in the Spanish grand tour.
Only two weeks ahead of La Vuelta, Tour de Pologne attracts riders who want to perform well in Spain. In 2017, Wouter Poels (Team Sky) won the queen stage before offering essential support to overall winner Chris Froome en route to Madrid. The Dutch climber finished 6th himself and Vincenzo Nibali (2nd), Ilnur Zakarin (3rd) and Wilco Kelderman (4th) had all lined up in Krakow to participate in the one-week World Tour event.
This year, Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ) made his return to competition in Poland. “When I arrived I was in the unknown regarding my shape, and I came out comforted”, the French climber says. He hadn’t participated in a race since abandoning the Giro in May and finished 3rd overall in Poland, behind Michal Kwiatkowski (Team Sky) and Simon Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) who are also set to be major players at La Vuelta.
“THE LEVEL AT LA VUELTA WILL BE REALLY HIGH”
“Except for Kwiatkowski, we mainly saw the riders who didn’t ride the Tour de France”, Thibaut Pinot notes. “We’re going to have a very strong field at La Vuelta with the riders who didn’t do the Tour and those who want to do the Tour and La Vuelta ahead of the World championships. The level will be really high and it should be interesting to watch.”
Thibaut Pinot enjoyed good legs in Poland and saw his teammate Georg Preidler win stage 6. Pinot himself was in the chasing group, covering moves from rivals to make sure his Austrian partner would claim victory. “Georg is someone who does a lot of work in the shadow of his leaders, so to see him win is a good thing for him and for the group”, Thibaut Pinot says. “Now we can prepare for La Vuelta with a relaxed mind.”
“WE’LL SEE IF WE FIGHT FOR THE GENERAL CLASSIFICATION OR A STAGE VICTORY”
Thibaut Pinot’s road to Malaga has led him to Tignes, where he’ll stay until the end of the week before heading to Andalusia. “I’m going to do some training sessions in the mountain and then rest, the start of La Vuelta is coming fast”, the Frenchman says ahead of his third participation in the Spanish grand tour (7th overall in 2013, abandon in 2014).

“I’ll try to get into a rhythm as La Vuelta goes on”, he anticipates. “I’ll see how things go day by day and we’ll assess the situation midway through La Vuelta, to see if we fight for the general classification, if I’m close to the top 5, or if we aim for a stage victory in the third week. We’ll discuss it along the race.” Already a stage winner on the Tour de France and the Giro d’Italia, Thibaut Pinot will find at La Vuelta mountainous terrain to add a La Vuelta victory to his tally.

Die „Tour of the Alps“ gastiert wieder in Osttirol!

Etappenrennen, , ,

Die Euregio-Rundfahrt „Tour of the Alps“, das Nachfolgerennen des Giro del Trentino, findet heuer von 16. bis 20. April zum zweiten Mal statt. Wie im Vorjahr ist auch heuer Osttirol fixer Bestandteil der Tour, die in Arco beginnt und auf den Straßen der Rad-WM in Tirol/Innsbruck 2018 endet. Das Ziel der vorletzten Etappe am 19. April befindet sich am Hauptplatz von Lienz. Am Start sind im Jahr der Heim-WM in Tirol so viele Top-Profis wie nie zuvor!

Nach der Premiere im vergangenen Jahr mit Start in Kufstein und Ziel in Trient, wo die Euroregion von Nord nach Süd durchquert wurde, verläuft die Tour of the Alps heuer in umgekehrter Richtung. Die vorletzte Etappe am 19. April geht von Klausen (Südtirol) über 134,3 Kilometer zum Lienzer Hauptplatz (Zielankunft ab 14:45 Uhr). Das Finale der vorletzten Etappe hat es in sich, denn nach Silian und Abfaltersbach beginnt über die Pustertaler Höhenstraße der vier Kilometer lange Anstieg nach Anras. Nach einer kurzen und knackigen Abfahrt nach Thal-Aue geht es für die Radprofis zur zweiten Bergwertung hinauf nach Bannberg. Auf diesem Streckenteil, der sieben Kilometer lang ist und eine durchschnittliche Steigung von 6,5 Prozent aufweist, könnte sich eine Spitzengruppe absetzen, denn von der Bergwertung geht es nur noch zehn Kilometer bergab nach Lienz!
