On top of that, two of his team members then suffered injuries before Bernal himself suffered a meltdown on a tough ascent on Sunday that effectively ended his 2020 campaign. He struggled badly on the last of three massive mountain climbs on Stage 15, the defining moment of the race so far, and he fell eight minutes behind the pace.“This is obviously not how I wanted my Tour de France to end, but I agree that it is the right decision for me in the circumstances,” Bernal said in a statement from Ineos Grenadiers.
Despite that meltdown Bernal seemed to have rediscovered his smile during Tuesday’s stage, and there was little sign he was about to pull out.
Michal Kwiatkowski won stage 18 of the Tour de France and Richard Carapaz moved into the polka dot jersey as Ineos Grenadiers set about salvaging their race following the withdrawal of Egan Bernal.
The Ineos Grenadiers duo were the final two survivors of what had been a 32-man breakaway on the 175km stage from Meribel to La Roche-sur-Foron. Carapaz had been battling Sunweb’s Marc Hirschi for mountain points as both riders looked to overhaul Tadej Pogacar in the category, but a crash for Hirschi on a descent midway through the stage put Carapaz in the driving seat, and he now leads the category by two points from Pogacar.
The pair made the approach to La Roche-sur-Foron deep in conversation, patting each on the back under the flamme rouge, before Kwiatkowski crossed the line first to give the former world champion his first grand tour stage win.
Primoz Roglic kept the yellow jersey as the main group of contenders crossed the line a little under two minutes later, retaining his 57-second advantage over Pogacar who finished alongside him.
But the last hors categorie climb of the Tour — the Montée du Plateau des Glières — did have its say on the general classification as Adam Yates slipped back to lose his hold on fifth place, while Richie Porte had to pace his way back after a puncture to retain fourth overall.
Yates dropped to seventh overall by the end of the stage as Spanish duo Mikel Landa and Enric Mas moved up to fifth and sixth respectively.
The win was an emotional one for the popular Kwiatkowski, who has sacrificed his considerable talents in the service of others for several years but got his reward here.
“That was some day,” the 2014 world champion said. “I can’t describe how grateful I am to the whole team and to Richard. It was an incredible day for us and I will never forget that.
“I’ve had some nice moments in cycling but that was a new experience. I’ve got goosebumps for the last I don’t know how many kilometres because I knew the gap is so big that we’re going to make it and we both really enjoyed the last kilometres.
“I think we’re going to celebrate big time tonight,” the 30-year-old Pole added.Miguel Angel Lopez won stage 17 of the Tour de France at the summit of the Col de la Loze above Meribel as Primoz Roglic distanced Tadej Pogacar in the brutal finale to strengthen his grip on yellow.
As the gradients at the top of the 21-kilometre climb hit 24 per cent, the Colombian Lopez was able to ride away from the other contenders for a stage win that moves him up to third overall.
Roglic followed over the line 15 seconds later with Pogacar losing his wheel in the final metres, conceding a further 15 seconds that see his deficit in second place grow to 57 seconds.
Lopez now sits third, one minute and 26 seconds down, after Rigoberto Uran faded late on.”I’m very emotional,” Astana’s Lopez said. “We dreamed about it, we did it. I’m thinking about my family.”
The 170km stage from Grenoble, featuring two hors categorie climbs with summits about 2,000 metres, would have suited an on-form Egan Bernal, but the day began with news that the defending champion had withdrawn from the race after shipping 18 minutes in two days as a result of a back injury.
Instead, the Ineos Grenadiers were again active in the breakaway with Richard Carapaz the final survivor of a break which had featured Julian Alaphilippe, Gorka Izaguirre, Dan Martin and Tuesday’s winner Lennard Kamna when they hit the Col de la Madeleine midway through the stage.
Carapaz went alone on the final climb, briefly stretching his advantage as the contenders weighed each other up, but he was caught with 3km to go as the attacks began in sight of the steepest sections.
Lopez struck out for glory soon after Carapaz had been passed, but all eyes were on the battle between the two Slovenians slugging it out for yellow.
Roglic eased his way back to the wheel of Jumbo-Visma team-mate Sepp Kuss and then rode away from Pogacar at the very end as the UAE Team Emirates rider was left to push away over-zealous fans who outwardly ignored pleas to respect the race amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Adam Yates lost time in the finale but remains in fifth place, now three minutes and 14 seconds off the yellow jersey behind Richie Porte in fourth.
“Tough day, but I hung in there as long as I could so we can be happy with that,” the Mitchelton-Scott rider said.
“We’ve got a big stage tomorrow, a lot of altitude metres, and then all we’ve got after that is the time trial, one day all by myself so we’ll keep going. Hopefully tomorrow I’ve got good legs and we’ll keep trying.”
At the start of the day, Sam Bennett kept himself glued to Peter Sagan’s wheel and was able to use the intermediate sprint to add two points to his advantage in the green jersey, which now stands at 47 points.
