Andre Greipel wins stage 2; Fabian Cancellara leads Tour

Fabian Cancellara (Trek Factory Racing) rode into the yellow jersey on Sunday as André Greipel (Lotto-Soudal) won stage 2 of the Tour de France.

Greipel overpowered Peter Sagan (Tinkoff-Saxo) and Cancellara at the end of the pan-flat 166km stage from Utrecht to Zélande in the Netherlands after a split left many of the favorites for the overall — among them Nairo Quintana (Movistar) and defending champion Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) — well back in a chase group.

Mark Cavendish (Etixx-Quick-Step), thought a favorite for the first sprint finish of the 2015 Tour, finished fourth on the day.

“I think Mark Renshaw (Cavendish’s lead-out man) went a bit too early so Cavendish too was forced to launch his sprint early,” said Greipel. “But he also won many stages this way because he can hold his speed for a long time. I was able to stay on his wheel and time the sprint the right way.”

Greipel congratulated his team for its hard work, calling them “just superb.”

“I felt really strong. And I’m just really happy to have won. It was a very, very hard stage,” he added.

The victory also put Greipel into the green points jersey.

“It’s the first time I’m wearing the green jersey in the Tour de France and I will enjoy it,” he said.

Cancellara’s third-place finish was good for a four-second time bonus and the yellow jersey.

After a disappointing third-place finish in Saturday’s opening time trial, the Trek rider now leads Tony Martin (Etixx) by three seconds on the GC with Tom Dumoulin (Giant-Alpecin) third at six seconds.

“I followed the wheels of the three sprinters and I gave everything,” Cancellara said. “I’m just happy to wear this jersey for the 29th time, 11 years after the first. This jersey means a lot to me.

“Honestly I was not expecting the yellow today, maybe in the next days, and the big chance on the cobblestone stage. Today, I thought it was more for the sprinters. I was coming to the Tour to win and get the yellow yesterday, and I didn’t win yesterday and not today. But I made a nice sprint at the end and I got third and the yellow and that is really a success. It’s always special.”

But the big news of the day was Chris Froome (Sky), Alberto Contador (Tinkoff-Saxo) and Tejay van Garderen (BMC Racing) putting almost a minute and a half into overall rivals Quintana and Nibali at the end of the 166km run from Utrecht to Zeeland.

Quintana, Nibali and overnight race leader Rohan Dennis (BMC Racing) were among the riders caught out in the final 50km as the peloton was rocked by rain, punctures, crosswinds and crashes.

“We were unlucky,” said Nibali. “We chased a long time. What could we do? This is cycling. The bad days you have to accept. The Tour is still long.”

As for Quintana, he said things could have been worse, adding that Movistar would work over the coming days to take the time back.

“With the rain and the crashes we had a bit of bad luck and we lost a bit of time, but we hope to get that back day by day,” said the 25-year-old Colombian, the 2014 Giro d’Italia winner.

“But we managed to maintain the team and worked with Astana to avoid losing more time.”

Van Garderen said continuing to ride was “a tough call” with his teammate and race leader on the wrong side of the split.

“At the time, we were just focused on the wheels in front of us,” van Garderen said. “We weren’t really paying attention to who was behind. We just wanted to stay safe and in the front. It just so happened that a lot of leaders were caught out. That’s good news for us.

“It was a tough call to make out there with our yellow jersey behind. For a while, we were thinking, ‘Oh, don’t work, let them catch up.’ But then all the other GC guys would have caught up. So it was a tough call.”

Dennis was predictably unhappy to have lost the jersey, but said he came to terms with it while riding the final 40km of the stage.

“We were going through a lot of roundabouts and I was sort of toward the back, thinking it was safe because it wasn’t too hard,” he said. “Then [Thibaut] Pinot led the gap go. He swung out and basically looked at me, saying I had to close it. I looked around and saw Nibali was there as well. So I made the call not to chase because if Nibali loses time, it is better.

“It was a bit hard to swallow, but I came to terms with it. I could have closed the gap and taken Nibali with me — which more than likely would have meant I would have kept the jersey. But by sitting up, Nibali lost time, which makes it better for Tejay, who is our goal for the Tour.”
