Ruta del Sol: Pinot pips Contador in stage 2

Feb 16, 2017

For a couple of kilometers, on the final slopes of Spain’s Alto Peña del Águila, it looked like Alberto Contador had flown clear to win stage 2 of Ruta del Sol, but Thibaut Pinot pulled him back with a gritty effort and out-sprinted the two-time Tour de France champ to win Thursday. Alejandro Valverde rode home to third, behind Trek – Segafredo’s Contador, and lost the overall race lead.

“I could have waited a bit longer, but I didn’t want it to come back together the way it did yesterday,” said Contador. “There was a headwind, which made it hard for me, and I didn’t know the final. If I had made it alone into the final 200 meters, perhaps I might have held on.”

The 177.9km run from Torredonjimeno to Mancha Real lived up to its billing as the Andalucia tour’s queen stage. Consummate breakaway artist Tim Wellens (Lotto – Soudal) was off the front as the final climb loomed, despite a crash in the second half of the race. However, he was caught with 5.5km to go, leaving the top GC riders to cross swords on the mountaintop finish.

Team Sunweb’s Warren Barguil probed the front group with an early attack, around 4.5 kilometers from the top. However, he was soon caught as Trek – Segafredo’s Fabio Felline drove the tempo on Contador’s behalf.

Next, Sky sent Mikel Landa up the road, and the Spaniard built a healthy lead with about three kilometers to go. Again, Felline was tireless in the pursuit, bringing Landa within sight to set up Contador for what — at the time — looked like a race-winning attack.

Contador soloed away from his rivals, especially race leader Valverde who wasn’t able to respond. But inside of the final kilometer, FDJ’s Pinot appeared, just down the hill from Contador and gradually reeled in the leader. With the line in sight, the Frenchman pulled up to Contador’s wheel, paused for just a moment, and then decisively attacked up Contador’s right side, winning the day.

“I knew it would be hard to win today,” said Contador. “I attacked, and it started off really well but my heart rate was into the red — it went up to 200bpm! It turned out to be a long ride in for me, although it wasn’t bad, but I thought my heart was going to come out of my mouth as if I was a junior again!”

Though he was beaten in the end, Contador earned the leader’s jersey to wear in Friday’s stage 3, a 12km time trial from Lucena to Córdoba.
