Nairo Quintana (Movistar) climbed onto the second step of the 2013 Tour de France, taking his first ever victory in the race, on the 20th stage between Annecy and Annecy-Semnoz. The Colombian climber broke clear of Maillot Jaune Chris Froome (Team Sky) and Joaquim Rodríguez (Katusha) in the final kilometre of the steep climb to the finish, and soloed away to win by a margin of 18 seconds.
Rodríguez too was able to jump away from Froome, to finish in second place and put himself on the third step of the final podium, but the British rider was safe in the knowledge that he had won the Tour de France.
Quintana’s victory on top of the hors category climb was also enough to secure the Colombian the polka-dot jersey, to go with the white one he had taken as the best young rider.
“I do not believe it,” said Quintana afterwards. “I am very happy, and I must thank all my teammates who worked today but also throughout the Tour. I think especially my director José Luis Arrieta, who always had to make the right choices. Today we controlled the race well, everyone knew what he had to do, and was perfectly done.
“It's great, even better than what I expected.
“It's a special day for Colombia, especially since it is the national holiday,” he added. “I think of course, about my family and friends who are there. The former Colombian riders have marked the history of cycling, but we are a new generation, who saw something important today.”
The short, sharp 125km stage saw a ten man breakaway that escaped in the early kilometres, but was never able to get a long way clear of the peloton. The break was initiated by Pierre Rolland (Europcar), who was chasing points in the mountains classification himself. The Frenchman was joined by teammate Cyril Gautier, Jens Voigt (RadioShack-Leopard), Marcus Burghardt (BMC Racing), Juan Antonio Flecha (Vacansoleil-DCM), Mikel Astarloza and Igor Antón (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Christophe Riblon (AG2R La Mondiale), Simon Clarke (Orica-GreenEdge) and Pavel Brutt (Katusha)
Rolland swept up most of the maximum point hauls over the early 2nd and 3rd category climbs, but Voigt escaped on the 1st category Mont Revard, and was alone over the top as he made his way to the foot of the final ascent to the finish.
The peloton was controlled by Movistar, keen to keep the group in touch so that Quintana himself could go for the points on the final climb. Despite the fresher legs of World champion Philippe Gilbert and Tejay van Garderen (BMC Racing) and Alexis Vuillermoz (Sojasun), the remainders of the chase group were caught on the early slopes, while Voigt was passed with 8.5km to go.
With the head of the peloton now reduced to just the big names, attacks from Quintana and Froome cut it further to just themselves and Rodríguez. Keen to put time into overnight second place Alberto Contador (Saxo-Tinkoff), the trio worked together until the final kilometre.
Froome made the first move as the flamme rouge approached, but Quintana was the one able to get clear and take the stage.
Rolland goes Polka-dot hunting but Movistar wants the mountain prize
Rolland, on the hunt for mountains points, attacked in the very first metres of the stage, and was quickly joined by Voigt, then Burghardt and Flecha. The quintet of Gautier, Astarloza, Riblon, Clarke and Brutt set out in pursuit shortly afterwards and, as the leading four hit the slopes of the 2nd category Côte du Puget, Antón attacked and quickly brought the chase group’s number up to six.
Team Sky was happy to let the two groups go, but Movistar was keen to keep them under control, since Quintana did hold ambitions of taking the polka-dot jersey. Rolland led over the top of the climb, after 12.5km, however, to take the five points and the outright lead in the mountains classification.
The two groups came together after the short descent that led onto the 3rd category Col de Leschaux while, having allowed the gap to open to 1’45” on the first climb, the Movistar team was gradually closing in.
Having cut the gap to around a minute, the Movistar team held the break there as Antón - trying to foil the Frenchman on behalf of teammate Mikel Nieve - beat the Frenchman over the Leschaux, after 17.5km. Peter Sagan was lurking, with several members of his Cannondale team, behind the Movistar riders at the head of the peloton, in anticipation of the upcoming intermediate sprint in Le Châtelard after 33.5km.
Flecha jumped away from the group, to take maximum points, with the others trailing over a few seconds behind.
As expected, Sagan moved forward to mop up the remaining points on the line, but Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) and André Greipel (Lotto-Belisol) also came forward to compete with him. With Sagan’s almost mathematical certainty of winning the green jersey, should he reach Paris, however, the three riders merely put on a theatrical show for the crowds as they lunged for the line side by side.
Having picked up three points for 13th place, Sagan was now uncatchable in the points classification, and simply had to finish the race to take a second straight points classification.
The gap was just 1’05” as the peloton hit the line; it inched out a little, before Movistar began to accelerate again. Rolland took the two points over the 3rd category Côte d'Aillon-le-Vieux, after 43km, ahead of Riblon, but the peloton was now just 56 seconds behind. The lead was down to 46 seconds at the foot of the 3rd category Col des Prés, but was back up to 1’21” as a swerving Rolland outsprinted Antón over the top after 51km.
On the long descent that followed the Movistar team reduced the leaders’ advantage to just 45 seconds, but it had risen to 1’55” by the time they reached the foot of the 1st category climb to Mont Revard.
Voigt makes a trademark bid for glory as BMC Racing mobilises behind him
Almost as soon as 15.9km climb had begun, Voigt attacked the group and left the other nine riders behind. As the peloton hit the climb behind them, BMC Racing pair Gilbert and van Garderen jumped away from the peloton, and there was no reaction as they made their way across the gap to the breakaway group.
Brutt and Antón were in pursuit of Voigt, while Astarloza and Flecha were quickly dropped. Gilbert and van Garderen soon caught Burghardt, and were joined by Vuillermoz, and the four riders were making their way through the dropped riders and closing in on Rolland.
Over the top of the climb, with 78.5km covered, Voigt was 38 seconds ahead of Antón, with Rolland leading Riblon, Gilbert, van Garderen and the others at 2’10”. Antón was caught by the chasing group on the descent, but Voigt was still 1’40” ahead of the chasers with 25km to go.
The peloton was 3’12” back as Movistar began to set the pace again under the 25km banner. Steadily, the Spanish team closed this gap down on the flat approach to the final climb, as the chasing group also steadily closed in on the German. With 13km to go Team Sky took over, however, and began to lift the pace sharply as the road began to rise.
As Voigt began the final 10.7km hors category climb to the finish, he was just 1’08” ahead of the peloton, with the van Garderen, Rolland and Vuillermoz less than 20 seconds clear.
Stage 19 winner Rui Costa (Movistar) came up to the front as the peloton hit the climb, lifting the pace even higher, and the shrinking Maillot Jaune group was up with the trio within a few hundred metres. Rolland tried to latch on to the group as it sped by him but, just as it had been the day before, Costa’s pace on the final climb was too much for the Frenchman to handle.
Voigt was now just 49 seconds up the road as he rode under the ten kilometre banner.
With just over nine kilometres to go Valverde took over from Costa, cutting the group to just himself, Froome and Richie Porte (Team Sky), Quintana, Contador, Rodríguez, with Contador’s Saxo-Tinkoff teammate Roman Kreuziger desperately trying to keep in touch.
Voigt was now just 15 seconds ahead, and his lead was disappearing fast as Valverde pounded on the pedals behind him. With 8.5km to go, the German veteran was forced to watch the six-man group go by.
Rodríguez, Quintana and Froome put Contador out of the picture
Shortly afterwards Rodríguez attacked, and only Quintana could follow. Froome looked to be unable to respond for a few moments, but suddenly accelerated up to the two riders and went straight past. The two riders just managed to claw their way back up to the Maillot Jaune, but Contador was still struggling down the road with Porte on his wheel.
With seven kilometres to go Contador was 22 seconds back, while Kreuziger was at 33 seconds, and the group containing the other general classification riders, including Bauke Mollema (Belkin) was now more than a minute behind. The gaps were widening as the trio continued, with Contador’s place on the podium steadily disappearing up the road.
With 5km to go, Contador was a minute behind, and had slipped from second to fourth on the virtual general classification. The Spanish rider was now being paced by Kreuziger, with Porte sitting contentedly behind the two Saxo-Tinkoff riders.
Quintana and Rodríguez shared the work as they continued up the climb, with both keen to put as much distance between themselves and Contador as possible, and Froome was happy to let them. Valverde was still on the road in between the two groups and, with three kilometres to go Andrew Talansky (Garmin-Sharp) moved up to the Contador group as Kreuziger faltered.
Just before the flamme rouge Froome attacked from the back of the lead group, but Quintana was quickly up to him. As Rodríguez struggled up to the duo, the Colombian put in an attack of his own and Froome was unable to respond this time.
Quintana sprinted up the final few hundred metres of the climb, taking the 50 points with 450 metres to go, and continued into the finishing straight. As the chasing pair rounded the final corner, Rodríguez attacked Froome, and rode clear into second place on the road.
Quintana was too far ahead by now, however, and the Colombian crossed the line in elation to take his first ever Tour stage, and secure the second step on the podium as well as both the white and polka-dot jerseys. Rodríguez sprinted in 18 seconds behind the Colombian, securing his own spot on the Paris podium, while Froome broke into a smile as he entered the final 50 metres, knowing that he’d won the race as he crossed the line.
