Aussie Rohan Dennis wins stage 1 time trial, takes Tour’s first yellow jersey

In stifling heat and over a 13.8km course that presented 19 challenging corners, 25-year-old Australian Rohan Dennis took his first stage win at the Tour de France, and this one came with best possible prize — the maillot jaune of race leader.

Dennis (BMC Racing) finished five seconds ahead of Tony Martin (Etixx-Quick-Step), with Fabian Cancellara (Trek Factory Racing) in third, six seconds down.

Dennis, who in January won the Tour Down Under and then went on to set a world hour record on the track, averaged 55.45 kph, quicker than the fastest-ever prologue ridden at the Tour de France, ridden by Chris Boardman in 1994.

With the win, Dennis became the seventh Australian to wear the Tour’s yellow jersey.

“Everything went perfect,” Dennis said. “We went with the tactic of going off early — no stress, you don’t have to sit around all day, just set a benchmark and make everyone else chase me, and it worked out perfectly.”

Martin, the German national TT champion, was unsatisfied with second place.

“I was coming here to win. Second place… it’s still a good result, but it’s not the result I wanted, Martin said. It’s a big disappointment. I couldn’t imagine that the heat would play such big role. I was cooking. I couldn’t do my usual power. I already felt in the second half that it wouldn’t be a big result.”

Cancellara, who has won the opening time trial at the Tour de France to take yellow on five occasions, and who stated earlier this week that this might be his final Tour de France, was also clearly disappointed.

“What can I say?” Cancellara said. “I knew it would be a few seconds, that every meter would count. I tried to give the maximum. There was a lot of heat. Too bad I didn’t win, but that’s sport.”

Among the stage favorites, Tom Dumoulin was the biggest loser. The Dutch rider, who had hoped to take the stage win (and maillot jaune) on home soil, finished eight seconds down on Dennis, fourth on the stage. “Dennis was really strong,” he said. “He has done better than me. I’ve done everything right. I took the corners really well. I heard the crowd supporting me. It was extraordinary, but unfortunately I didn’t make it.”

The biggest loser of the day was Astana’s Jakob Fuglsang, who crashed, but was able to finish the stage.

Among the major GC favorites, defending champion Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) was the big winner, 43 seconds down on Dennis but seven seconds ahead of Chris Froome (Sky), 15 seconds ahead of Alberto Contador (Tinkoff-Saxo), and 18 seconds ahead of Nairo Quintana (Movistar).

American Tejay van Garderen (BMC Racing) put in a solid performance, finishing one second faster than Nibali.

“We’re all more or less in the same time,” said Nibali. “The differences aren’t important.”

Asked about wearing the Tour’s yellow jersey, Dennis said it was “a little bit of a shock.”

“It’s a dream. I’ve always wished to have this and now it’s happening,” he said. “It was almost surreal, but a few emotions came out for sure.”

The Tour continues Sunday with a flat 166km stage from Utrecht to Zeeland, remaining in the Netherlands for a second day.
