91st Tour de France - July 3-25, 2004Main Page Live report Results Overall standings Previous Stage Next Stage Stage 15 - July 20: Valreas - Villard-de-Lans, 180.5 kmHook 'em horns: Big Tex returns in Villard-De-LansArmstrong wins stage, takes maillot jauneBy Tim Maloney, European Editor in Villard-De Lans "To go two for two is great!" Lance Armstrong did just that in Villard-de-Lans today to win his 18th Tour stage and take over the Tour de France race lead yet again. Tomorrow, Lance Armstrong will be the final starter in Stage 16's l'Alpe d'Huez mountain time trial, wearing the maillot jaune for the 61st time, thus surpassing Miguel Indurain in the Tour ranking. Now, only Eddy Merckx (111 days) and Bernard Hinault (79 days) have spent more time in the cherished tunic of Le Grande Boucle than Armstrong. "There's still a part of me that wanted to ride a legendary mountain like l'Alpe d'Huez in the Yellow Jersey," he commented. Lance talked about the finale post-stage, explaining that "The front group came back together at the end of the stage so there was the risk of (losing time via) the time bonuses. Sure, you can sit up and get fourth, but why give 0'20 to your rivals. So it was important (to win)...Johan was screaming in my ear that I had to win because of the time bonuses. At this point, it's a question of having a minute twenty five (on Basso) so every second counts...sorry, no pun intended...and I have to say there's something special about winning in the sprints. To win alone it's exciting and fun but, I don't know, to win in a sprint, to me is much more intense than being alone." There was a wild pursuit match today through the Massif de Vercors with Jan Ullrich trying hard to upset the status quo today with a solo attack halfway up Col de l'Echarasson with 60km to go. But despite Ullrich's audacious move, it all came to naught when Armstrong's USPS-Berry Floor and Ivan Basso's CSC squad brought the T-Mobile man to heel in the closing stages of the stage. Armstrong was cool as the proverbial cucumber as Jan sped away, saying that "T-Mobile's attack was really a team attack with Guerini, Klöden and Ullrich. We weren't very concerned when Ullrich attacked. With my teammates Landis and Azevedo, and then Basso's teammates Sastre and Voigt, we knew we could control the situation. We know the parcours very well since we've done it just a month ago during the Dauphiné Liberé; I know all the climbs so there was no panic, no problem when Ullrich attacked. On the climb that he attacked on, we knew really there's no descent from that climb; then you have another Cat 3 that's not so steep so it's easy for two teams to work together, which is what we saw. For us, it was not really a threatening situation. Now had I been alone, then it could have been a different story. But thanks to a strong team, and Ivan had some guys there, it was not a problem." Once again, Lance paid homage to the Blue Train of USPS-Berry Floor, saying "the team was fantastic...they proved that they're the strongest team in the race. George and Chechu just almost made it up to that front; we were getting feedback that they were just behind and we were struggling with 'do we wait for them and have two more guys or do we continue to ride with Sastre and Voigt?' so we just continued with Floyd and Voigt to chase down Ullrich. But the team, they controlled the race from the very beginning. They're the best team in the race and this is not the first year." Armstrong also singled out American Floyd Landis, who had played a big role today in setting up Armstrong's win in Villard-de Lans today. "I'm incredibly proud of them and I think the player of the day was Floyd Landis. He was incredible. There were ten guys left on the climb and Floyd was still there, which is not normally his cup of tea. His family was also on that climb, so maybe that was it." Cyclingnews reached Floyd post stage, who told us "Lance was fantastic today...I had good legs and was glad to be able to help him take the Yellow Jersey again. When Ullrich attacked, he went too early. We just decided to leave him out there; it was a long way to the finish. Landis was able to share the moment with his family today as well, explaining, "Lance said on the radio 'hey Floyd, there's your family' and I was able to wave at them. Then after the stage , Robin Williams, who was in the car with Johan joked with me 'hey there were Mennonites on the course today!'" After ten days in the maillot jaune, Ti-Jaune Thomas Voeckler had to swap his symbol of race leadership for the maillot blanc of Best Young Rider. Armstrong commented, "I know when Telekom (sic) attacked, I heard on the radio that Thomas was dropped. Going into the stage, I thought for sure that he would hang on to the finish so that was already a surprise. And I can't lie - it's exciting to have the yellow jersey, even if it's number 61 or however many, it's still a thrill." Although he was disappointed to lose his dream maillot jaune, Voeckler understood his number was up today. "When the battle began today, I just didn't have the legs to follow the top riders", explained the French champion, who will represent France in the Athens Olympics road cycling events next month. "But I'm happy to have worn the maillot jaune anyway for ten days and have to thank the team for the support they gave me." Voeckler had 10 great days in the maillot jaune, and Ti-Jaune now becomes Ti-Blanc as his time in yellow equals the ten days Pascal Lino enjoyed in 1992. Once Voeckler was dropped in on the Col de l'Echarasson, and Armstrong had gained the 0'23 needed to take the race lead, he explained, "You have to compartmentalize and once you know you have (the Yellow Jersey) and that (Voeckler) wasn't coming back because we were riding strong so you say 'OK I have to focus on trying to win the stage so I can steal the seconds', but to go two for two is great." Ivan Basso, runner-up to Armstrong on the stage today and now runner-up on GC, CSC's classy young Italian and his team rode superbly again today on the road to Villard-de-Lans. After his second second place stage finish, Basso said "I couldn't go with Ullrich when he attacked; but I had my best day so far. Today, Lance didn't show any weaknesses. But the most important thing is that we caught Ullrich and I gained time on him and didn't have to use too much energy." Another disappointing day for Jan Ullrich, who at least has the satisfaction that he tried and failed today. "I said before that I was going to give it my maximum at this Tour...when I attacked, I tried to unnerve Lance. I had to give it my all because I really wanted to win today. I've recovered well on the rest day and I'm feeling good. But I found a really strong team from Postal and Voigt helped too...it's too bad." At this point, Armstrong isn't thinking sixth victory yet. "No, No...not yet; Ivan is really strong and the rest of the Tour isn't easy." Although Armstrong must be the favourite, he's taking nothing for granted at this point. "I expect Basso to be strong...he'll be tough to beat. A lot of people expect that since it's a time trial, (Basso) won't be close, but I think he'll be tough, I think he's well prepared, I know he's come and trained on l'Alpe d'Huez a lot and so I have the good fortune of starting behind him so I'll know his time splits on the way up which is a big advantage. I'm excited to get on the Alpe." How it unfoldedNon-starters in Valreas this morning were Jakob Piil (CSC) and Iban Mayo (Euskaltel). The former had a knee injury and the latter was tired and had no morale after his punishing defeat in the Pyrenees. After an early attack containing, among others Axel Merckx (Lotto-Domo), Santiago Botero (T-Mobile), Aitor Gonzalez (Fassa Bortolo) was reeled in by Rabobank and US postal after the Cat. 3 Cote de Puy St Martin (km 51), a new escape went clear after 55 km containing 15 riders: Pavel Padrnos (US Postal), Santos Gonzalez (Phonak), Aitor Gonzalez (Fassa Bortolo), Thor Hushovd (Crédit Agricole), Jens Voigt (Team CSC), José V. Garcia Acosta (Illes Balears), Stuart O'Grady, Dmitri Fofonov (Cofidis), Richard Virenque, Laurent Dufaux (Quick Step-Davitamon), Christian Vandevelde (Liberty Seguros), Anthony Charteau (Brioches La Boulangère), Laurent Brochard (AG2R Prévoyance), Scott Sunderland (Alessio-Bianchi), Michael Rasmussen (Rabobank). Padrnos was called back to the peloton leaving 14 riders in front, but with riders like O'Grady and Hushovd going for the sprint points and Virenque and Rasmussen going for KOM points and a possible stage win, it didn't take long for the big group to implode. On the Cat. 2 climb of Col des Limouches, Virenque and Rasmussen attacked, taking S. Gonzalez, Voigt and Brochard with them. After Virenque took the points at the summit, they were caught by O'Grady, Hushovd, Garcia Acosta, Vandevelde, Charteau and Aitor Gonzalez on the descent, with O'Grady going clear to take the sprint points at St Jean en Royans (km 116) followed by Hushovd and Brochard. The break had gained nearly 6 minutes on the US Postal led peloton, but on the Cat. 1 Col de l'Echarasson, the situation behind changed dramatically. With 5km to climb on Col de l'Echarasson, Rasmussen and Virenque were in front with O'Grady (Cofidis) and Gonzalez (Fassa) chasing behind as Virenque had exploded the break. Coming off a leadout from Andreas Klöden and Giuseppe Guerini, Jan Ullrich attacked hard halfway up the l'Echarasson from the Armstrong group. 2 km from the summit of l'Echarasson with 55km to race, Ullrich had gained some ground and now led the Armstrong group by 0'41. Unlike the Pyrenees, Ullrich was flying through the remains of the day's break. At the summit with 53km to go, Virenque took the points ahead of Rasmussen. Voigt and Brochard were at 0'42, while behind, Ullrich had picked up Santos Gonzalez (Phonak) and was just 1'54 behind the leaders, with the Armstrong group at 2'45. The German was flying, riding the last half of the ascent 7 seconds per kilometre faster than the Armstrong group. Voeckler was 1 km behind as Armstrong crossed the KOM and the American had become virtual maillot jaune. Voeckler was 6'10 behind Virenque and Rasmussen and 3'25 behind Armstrong. On the down and up transitional section between the Cat. 1 l'Echarasson and the Cat. 3 Col de Carri, the Armstrong group had picked up CSC's Voigt, who immediately went to the front to relieve Landis, who had been chasing heroically to limit the gains of Ullrich. Jan had picked up another rider, Laurent Brochard (Ag2r) who stayed with the German and Gonzalez. At the summit of Col de Carri with 43 km to go, Virenque and Rasmussen had 1'50 on Ullrich's chasing group and 3'00 on Armstrong's group, which had now picked up Vandevelde from the break. Halfway down the descent to with 37km to race at La Chapelle-En-Vercors, Virenque and Rasmussen were 1'15 ahead of the closing Ullrich trio, with an 11 man chase group consisting of Landis, Azevedo and Armstrong (USPS-Berry Floor), Voigt, Sastre & Basso (CSC), Klöden (T-Mobile), Leipheimer (Rabobank), Sabaliauskas (Saeco), Gonzalez (Fassa Bortolo) and Vandevelde (Liberty Seguros) was at 1'50. But with 28km to go, the pursuit match ended in favour of USPS and CSC, as the audacious Ullrich and his two break partners were ridden down. At the start of the penultimate ascent up the 10.3km Col de Chalimont in Saint-Martin-En-Vercors with 27.5 km to race, Virenque and Rasmussen were still ahead, 0'55 in front of a now 11 man group which soon lost both Stage 14 winner Aitor Gonzalez and Ullrich's break buddy Santos Gonzalez as Landis upped the pace at the front. Halfway up the Col de Chalimont, Virenque and Rasmussen were in sight as the tremendous effort of the USPS train was paying off. The Frenchman and the Dane were talking up front awaiting the inevitable as Landis was hammering away on the front of the Armstrong group 0'30 back. As the dynamic climbing duo looked like they were going to come back to papa Lance, Levi Leipheimer exploded from the Armstrong group and bridged up to his teammate Rasmussen and Virenque. Leipheimer got a small gap with 15km to go, but Carlos Sastre said 'nothin' doin', and pulled Levi back. At the summit of the Cat. 2 Col de Chalimont, the race pace was slightly faster than the most optimistic time schedule and the Tour de France was under control of USPS-Berry Floor and CSC, with Ullrich and Klöden without any other T-Mobile teammates to support them. There were 16.5km to go and the 10 front riders Voigt, Sastre, Basso, Azevedo, Armstrong, Klöden, Ullrich, Leipheimer, with the peloton maillot jaune at 7'30. Rasmussen, Sabaliauskas and Virenque had now come back on the descent of the Chalimont to swell the front group. Through Villard-DeLans, 10 man front group headed up the final short ascent to the finish. Klöden went to the front and accelerated, dropping Virenque, Stage 15's Most Aggressive Rider Rasmussen, Voigt, Sastre and Azevedo. With 1km to go, only Klöden, Ullrich, Basso, Lance and Leipheimer were left. As Klödi began to wind it up for Jan, Levi came off with 500m to go. Basso made the first move with 200m to go, then Armstrong blasted by him, hitting the last left hand bend wide, but recovering to beat Basso by two bike lengths, punching the air with both fists as he reveled in another tremendous Tour stage win and the conquest of the maillot jaune. And as for his hosiery choice today, Armstrong downplayed the "controversial" black socks when Cyclingnews asked him about it in the post-race press conference. "The black socks? That's what came out of the bag this morning." Stage 16 - July 21: L'Alpe d'Huez Individual Time Trial, 15.5kmSituated atop the Massif d'Oisans, l'Alpe d'Huez is perhaps the Tour de France's most hallowed climb. With 21 turns on the 13.8km climb that has an average grade of 7.9%, will Marco Pantani's record of 37'35 fall tomorrow? PhotographyImages by Jon Devich/www.epicimages.us
