Armstrong better; Tour duel with Ullrich continues

Redemption for Gibo

After a lousy last two weeks at the Tour de France, 2003 Giro d'Italia winner Gilberto Simoni (Saeco) took a tight three-up sprint win on Stage 14 in the tiny Pyrenees village of Loudenvielle. Part of an original 17 man break that went away 4km after the start in Saint Girons, Simoni beat his remaining break companions, longtime friends Richard Virenque (Quick.Step-Davitamon) and Laurent Dufaux (Alessio). After dominating the Giro, prior to the Tour, Simoni was talking the talk, but he couldn't walk the walk at this year's Tour de France, so his first-ever Tour de France stage win was a nice consolation prize.

"Yes, before the Tour, I had different objectives, but I had to change them," a very satisfied Simoni told Cyclingnews. "To win a stage at the Tour isn't easy and it took luck too... yesterday I tried to get in a break and it wasn't the good one. It's been so hard at the Tour this year, but the win today wipes out the fatigue of the last two weeks."

His equally delighted team manager Claudio Corti told us that "Today, Simoni showed his great character as a rider. He started the Tour in less than top condition, but Gibo hung tough and was ready to win when he had the chance."

Also in the big break of the day with Simoni was USPS rider Manuel 'Triki' Beltran, who executed team director Johan Bruyneel's strategy perfectly for the 2nd day in a row. Triki told Cyclingnews post-stage that "Today things went pretty well for us. I got in the break and our team didn't have to do the work today."

Like yesterday, that was Bruyneel's plan and today it worked again. Once the break had a 15 minute lead, Euskaltel and then Bianchi were forced to chase behind since Triki was the virtual Maillot Jaune on the road.

Armstrong was happy with the way things went with Bruyneel's team poker on the road to Loudenvielle today. "We wanted to force the other teams to work, when our riders are in the breaks but they're not working," Armstrong explained. "That forced Bianchi to ride and take responsibility. If we have the opportunity to play the tactics like that again, we will."

A better day...

Armstrong also was somewhat sardonic when he spoke of Bianchi. "In many peoples eyes they're the favourites," he said. "I think Bianchi has a responsibility to ride, since in our view, Ullrich is just as much the race leader as I am. Therefore, they should take part of the responsibility. of the race, which they did. We had Triki up the road and he was virtual Yellow Jersey, so Bianchi and Euskaltel had an interest to chase."

Armstrong's positive take on Stage 14 was echoed by his teammates Rubiera and Landis. Chechu told Cyclingnews after the stage that "I was feeling good today; it was a hard day today and it will be hard again tomorrow. Lance is feeling better and if tomorrow he's good again, we'll try and drop Ullrich. Vino was good, Ullrich was good and I think it's a really tight Tour. Everybody is so close."

Floyd Landis explained further that "Luckily we didn't have to do too much work today since the Bianchi team is riding like they want to win the race. Tomorrow's good for us with a good, hard mountain finish so hopefully Bianchi wants to work again."

Speaking of great character, Maillot Jaune Armstrong (USPS-Berry Floor) showed plenty of his own today. When 3rd place Alexandre Vinokourov (Telekom) flew the coop halfway up the final ascent of the Col du Peyresourde with Iban Mayo (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Lance kept his cool, even though Vino was virtual Maillot Jaune at one point. The four-time Tour winner was feeling better today and along with Ullrich, Ivan Basso (Fassa Bortolo) and Haimar Zubeldia (Euskaltel-Euskadi), they pulled back time from Vino on the descent.

Armstrong was 11th on the stage, while Vinokourov closed to within 18” of the American but is still in 3rd on GC, 3" behind Ullrich. Lance didn't show his usual smooth, fast-pedaling form on the climbs on Stage 14. "I was standing up more than normal because... I don't know why! I said to myself, 'shoot, I'm standing up a lot'. I'm still not 100%, and when you're lacking or when you're missing form, you just gotta rough it."

Tyler Hamilton (CSC) continued his courageous 2003 Tour de France effort. The gutsy Man from Marblehead has been riding with a fractured collarbone for two weeks and today he had a tough day. Hamilton dropped out of the front group on the last ascent of the day and ended up 17th, 4'31" behind stage winner Simoni. Sitting 7th on GC at 7'32", Hamilton is still showed he can do well at this years Tour. "I'm now paying the price for my injury," said Hamilton post-stage. "My chance for a podium spot is smaller but I'm not giving up."

Today went better for Armstrong. Armstrong said that "Today was the queen stage of the Tour and I felt a lot better than I did yesterday, which was a bit of a disaster after the time trial."

Talking about the close race, Armstrong said that "a few years ago a 15 second time gap wouldn't have worried me; you've seen the time trials I've done in the past. Tomorrow will come down to the final climb. I'll go all out, but if I'm at the top with Ullrich at the finish, then the time trial will become more important."

With astonishing frankness, Armstrong spoke about his supposed 'decline'. "It's fair (to ask that); I'm not riding as well as I have in years past," he admitted. "I can't exactly say why, but I wouldn't argue with people who say I'm declining. This is a sport where you can not only look at the differences between other riders, but you can look at the times on certain climbs. If you look at the times on l'Alpe d'Huez, that's four minutes slower, so it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that that guy is not as strong as he was two years ago. Something is not clicking."

"I knew it was going to be close but I probably didn't expect it to come down to the last few decisive stages," he added. "There's one more day in the mountains and the final time trial. But, hey, I mean something's not gone right... but there's nothing I can do about that now; all I can do is wake up every morning and do my best. And that's what I'm doing. If we get to (the final time trial in) Nantes and I have fifteen seconds (lead) and I lose by the time trial by sixteen, it will go down as the closest Tour de France in history. And I'll go home and have a cold beer and come back next year. So I'm not going to cry and whine; I'm just going do my best."

How it unfolded

Despite the threat of rain today, the weather remained warm and dry throughout the stage, although it was more humid than in previous days. The peloton rolled out of Saint-Girons and it took five kilometres before the break of the day was established. A large group of 17 riders managed to escape, containing Beltran (USPS, best placed at 13th on GC, 11'57 down), Virenque, Bettini and Rogers (Quick.Step-Davitamon), Dufaux (Alessio), Simoni (Saeco), Nardello and Aldag (Telekom), Peron and Piil (CSC), Pradera (ONCE), Beneteau (Brioches), Guidi (Bianchi), Mengin (FDJeux.com), Zampieri (Vini Caldirola), Botcharov (Ag2r) and Petrov (iBanesto).

As US Postal set an easy tempo in the peloton, the leaders managed to build an advantage of 14'35 at the top of the Col de la Core (km 67), putting Beltran in the virtual maillot jaune and prompting Euskaltel and Bianchi to start a combined chase over the next four climbs. The gap started to come down immediately and the break gradually fell apart on the Col de Mente (km 118.5) and the Col du Portillon (km 156). By the summit of the Portillon it was just over 7 minutes, with Dufaux, Simoni and Virenque in front after attacking with 5 km to the top. They continued on over the Peyresourde right to the finish, only caught by Peron with 1 km to go.

It was on the Peyresourde where the bagarre began in the peloton, as Christophe Moreau accelerated off the front of the groupe maillot jaune with 20 km to go, followed by Iban Mayo and then Alexandre Vinokourov. Once they got a gap, Vinokourov took over the pace making and increased their lead to 1'06, dropping Moreau and putting the Kazakh in the virtual yellow jersey. Behind, Ullrich set the tempo all the way to the top, as Armstrong, Zubeldia and Basso sat right behind him.

On the descent, Armstrong started working with Ullrich and their group pulled back 25 seconds on Vinokourov and Mayo, so the yellow jersey was safe for another day. At the front of the race, Simoni's group had managed to stay clear, and the Italian climber finally realised a stage win in what has been a very tough Tour for him.

Stage 15: Bagnères-de-Bigorre - Luz-Ardiden

Monday July 21/ 159.5km

Tomorrow is the Showcase Showdown at the centenary Tour de France:

Behind Door #1, it's Lance Armstrong, four-time Tour winner going for his 5th and having the toughest battle of his career on the way to Paris.
Behind Door #2 is Jan Ullrich; the über-biker from Germany, former Tour winner and 2000 Olympic road race champion who has suddenly found the best form of his life to challenge Lance.
Behind Door #3 is plucky Kazakh Alex Vinokourov; a never-say-die kind of guy who isn't afraid to have a go anytime, anyplace.

With cooler, overcast conditions typical of the Pyrenees region, the Tour peloton should have a further break from the oppressive heat of the past two weeks. Monday is a short, intense stage from Bagnères-de-Bigorre to Luz Ardiden, and marks the fifth time a Tour stage has started at this tiny Pyrenees town. After an up and down first half across the Bigorre River valley, the last 80km of Stage 15 will be tough, with col d'Aspin, the legendary hors catégorie Tourmalet and the final steep assault of Luz Ardiden to conquer.

If he's good, Armstrong and his Postal squad will try and put it to Ullrich and Vino on the final 13.4km ascent. Armstrong explained that "tomorrow is an important stage. It's a mountaintop finish, which is a lot different than finishing with a descent."

Lance will really need his teammates tomorrow, especially Roberto Heras, to work the Luz-Ardiden set-up train perfectly, and then have a great day himself to try and crack the incredibly strong Ullrich. Win or lose, It may be the ride of his life.

Stage 15 Climbs:

km 94: Col d'Aspin (12.3km @ 6.4%)
km 134.5: Col du Tourmalet (17.1km @ 7.4%)
km 159.5: Luz Ardiden (13.4km @ 7.6%)
