Valverde after winning
Just as I had predicted in my last post, about how I would bet on the breakaway winning today, Movistar rider Alejandro Valverde, rode a professional race, judging his opponents to a nicety, and winning atop the final climb to Peyragudes on Stage 17 of the 2012 tour.

Fedrigo repeats at Pau
Pierrick Fédrigo of FDJ-BigMat rode a race, which he had planned for the whole of two years!! In 2010, he won the tour stage ending at Pau, and after missing the tour last year due to health issues, rode in to Pau as the winner in today’s stage, repeating the feat first done 2 years back. With this win, he too like yesterday’s winner Luis Leon Sanchez, has 4 stage wins in the tour.

Sanchez at the finish
Over the last 5-6 stages, everyday, Luis Leon Sanchez of Rabobank, has been trying to make it into the breakaway or trying to create an escape in the final stages, somehow trying to reach the finishing stage alone and claim a stage for his team. Till Stage 13, he was unlucky, but today, he rode a very planned race and played his cards to perfection thus outwitting the breakaway and riding in to Foix, to claim his fourth stage win in the Tour.

Millar time
For a team which has been at the receiving end right from the day the tour began, Garmin Sharp’s David Millar put in a stellar performance to win the long stage 12 of this year’s tour, and restore some sense of relief & belief to the team management & riders. His presence in the breakaway from the very beginning was notable and in the end it was victory for his taking as he outsprinted of Jean-Christophe Péraud of AG2R La Mondiale.

Manx Missile makes it four for TdF 2010
The 18th Stage of the TdF was from Salies-de-Béarn to Bordeaux, a distance of 198km. A flat stage after the last 4 days in the Pyrenees was a relief to all riders and the fact that there was almost no effort to chase the inevitable breakaway till the last kms, also showed the mindset of the riders, who just want to finish this tour on the streets of Paris on Sunday.
