The classic Paris-Tours offers a regular sprint festival in October. For the arrival in town of the 12th stage of the Tour de France, it is also an explanation that was scheduled between beefy, whatever day of the five escaped, returned to the last of them, Juan Antonio Flecha, 6 km from the finish. At this stage of the race, the favorites to win are identified, but a fall in the last three kilometers sends down many riders, including private and André Greipel sprint. In the group that is present in the last mile, it's Marcel Kittel who shows more powerful than Mark Cavendish half a wheel. He won his third victory on the Tour in 2013, to add to the success of German Tony Martin in the clock, and Greipel sprinting to victory in Montpellier. That makes 5 of 12.
Five runners head
At 4 km, Francesco Gavazzi (AST) out of the pack, followed by Romain Sicard (EUS), Manuele Mori (LAM), Juan Antonio Flecha (VCD) and Anthony Delaplace (SOJ). The five riders progressing easily at first, until you get the maximum benefit of 9 at passing Laval (42.5 miles). In the pack, the Argos-Shimano team Lotto-Belisol and are the first to be positioned at the front.
45.8 km / h on the first three hours
The combination is very gradually between the peloton and the breakaway. A 100 km from the finish, there is 6'20'' margin attackers, who are forced to maintain a steady pace to preserve their chances (45.8 km / h average after three hours of racing). At the intermediate sprint, the energy dissipation due to a Romain Sicard, recovering while the gap is down to 2'30''. The remaining 10 points to take the 6th place in the aftermath of the break, earned first Tour by Mark Cavendish.
Flecha solo
At 20 km from the finish, the four attackers cling to a slender lead of 34'', which seems insufficient. Mori Delaplace and 14 km from the end, then Gavazzi three kilometers away, leave Flecha continue the mission alone. But the Spaniard in turn reinstates the pack, 6 km from the line.
Private Greipel sprint
The peloton then prepares a final explanation nervousness. The Orica-GreenEdge team goes a little faster in a roundabout, where Svein Tuft collapses without affecting its companions. But in the last three kilometers, a new fall brings many riders to the ground, including Richie Porte and Edvald Boasson Hagen in the Sky clan. Especially, André Greipel left without sprint, and it is in a group of 15 riders that plays the stage. Although led by Gert Steegmans, Mark Cavendish seems able to win. But in the last 50 meters, Marcel Kittel, who was seated in the wheel of his rival, than the man with 24 victories on the Tour. The meter sprinter Argos-Shimano now stands at three!
