Sanchez Wins on Luz Ardiden


by Justin Davis

 

LUZ ARDIDEN, July 14, 2011 (AFP) -

 

Embattled champion Alberto Contador lost more time to key yellow jersey rivals on Thursday as Olympic champion Samuel Sanchez claimed his maiden win in the Tour de France.

 

Spaniard Sanchez came over the finish line of the 211km 12th stage ahead of Belgian Jelle Vanendert after attacking the Omega-Pharma rider inside the final 400 meters of the 13.3km climb to Luz Ardiden.

 

Frenchman Thomas Voeckler upset the form book to retain the race leader's yellow jersey after the first of three consecutive days in the Pyrenees.

 

Helped by his surprising Europcar team throughout, Voeckler stuck with a group that contained all the real yellow jersey favorites -- admitting later that he had been helped by the absence of incisive attacks.

 

 


"The favorites never attacked seriously. Every time somebody tried, it would all come back together, and then the tempo slowed, so that allowed me to stay in touch," said Voeckler.

 

"I said yesterday I would lose the yellow jersey, and I really thought that would happen. But I also said I would give it my best to keep it."

 

On the first high mountain stage of the race, several big names dropped out of contention, with Andreas Kloden of Germany, American Christian Vandevelde and Dutchman Robert Gesink all losing time.

 

Kloden, the victim of yet another crash, is now 24th at 10:19, Vandevelde 34th at 14:23 and Gesink 39th at 20:55.

 

Arguably the biggest loser was three-time champion Contador, who for the first time in the race fell victim to tactics that the Schleck brothers Andy and Frank had threatened to employ in a bid to outfox him.

 

Contador lost a further 13sec to key rivals Andy Schleck, Cadel Evans and Ivan Basso when he dropped off the pace late on the final climb to the Pyrenean ski station.

 

Frank Schleck, who had escaped from Voeckler's chase group in the final 3km, finished third, just ahead of Voeckler and fellow yellow jersey rivals Evans, Basso and his younger brother Andy.

 

 


In the overall standings Voeckler now leads Frank Schleck by 1min 49sec, with Evans third at 2:06 and Andy Schleck fourth at 2:17. Basso also boosted his chances, moving up to fifth at 3:16.

 

Contador, who lost over a minute to his rivals in a crash on the first stage and had been suffering from a knee injury, is now seventh overall at 4:00 behind.

 

The Spaniard later tried to play down his deficit.

 

"I was trying just to be vigilant throughout the final climb. I saw the two brothers speaking between themselves so I knew one of them was going to attack," said Contador.

 

"Finally it was Frank who went; he must have been the stronger of the two.

 

"But I'm still satisfied with the first high mountain stage."

 

Andy Schleck, who has finished runner-up the past two years to Contador, looked a happy man at the end of the stage.

 

"It was a perfect day for us. It was a first test, and not the last," said the Luxemburger.

 

"Obviously today wasn't decisive but we showed our strengths. Contador isn't unbeatable, he lost more time today."

 

 

 


Sanchez, who finished fourth overall last year, had been aiming for a podium place this year.

 

But after losing over a minute on the opening stage, the man from Oviedo decided his first priority would be a first stage win.

 

After counter-attacking an earlier breakaway on the descent of the Col du Tourmalet, the second of three climbs on the stage, he went on to build a lead with Vanendert before leaving the Belgian behind in the finale.

 

"I really wanted this stage, I was determined," said Sanchez, who gestured wildly as he crossed the finish line.

 

"I lost a lot of time in the first week, so this has helped me make amends."
