E’ sempre la legge del team Sky, dopo Bradley Wiggins, Chris Froome, ora è il turno di Geraint Thomas. Gallese di cardiff, 32 anni, nel suo palmares ci sono due ori olimpici e quattro mondiali, oltre a due argenti mondiali. Anche due vittorie di tappa, a La Rosiere e, in maglia gialla, all’Alpe d’Huez.
La tappa di oggi, la crono di 31 km a Espelette, l’ha vinta l’iridato della specialità Tom Dumoulin (Thomas 3° a 14”) che domani a Parigi salirà sul secondo gradino del podio.
Una grande crono oggi l’ha fatta Chris Froome, secondo a solo un secondo dall’iridato. Una prova maiuscola che l’ha spinto sul terzo gradino di quel podio che sembrava compromesso.
Roglic, terzo prima del via e favorito per la tappa, oggi ha fatto il salto, all’indietro però: 8° a 1’11” da Froome.

La 17a tappa del Tour de France numero 105 porta il gruppo da Bagneres de Luchon a St Lary Soulan-Col du Portet e misura appena 65 km, di cui quasi 40 in salita e senza un metro di pianura. Partenza con griglie di ogni 20 corridori. I Pirenei svelano le gerarchie in casa Sky, Thomas mette le mani sul Tour e froomeva in crisi nel finale scortato da Bernal. Quintana risorge e vince questa tappa cortissima, con 28” su Daniel Martin, e al terzo posto c’è la maglia gialla Geraint Thomas che guadagna 4” sul rivale Dumoulin. Chris Froome si stacca negli ultimi tre chilometri. Ormai il sogno della doppietta Giro-Tour e semore più lontano.

Il francese che veste la maglia a pois arriva tutto solo dopo aver superato Yates, caduto nella discesa dal Portillon. Alaphilippe aveva vinto a Le Grand Bornand sulle Alpi. Secondo Izagirre a 15”, quinto Pozzovivo. Paursa caduta di Gilbert in discesa dal Portet d’Aspet ma se la cava con qualche sbucciatura.
Giornata caratterizzata dalla protesta dei contadini con gli scontri tra gendarmi e manifestanti (uso di gas lacrimogeni e urticanti. Già primo a Le Grand Bornand nella prima tappa alpina, il corridore della Quick Step che veste la maglia a pois degli scalatori supera nella discesa dal Col du Portillon il britannico Adam Yates, che era in testa alla corsa ed è scivolato in una curva a sinistra.Il gruppo dei big, con la maglia gialla Geraint Thomas, chiude a 8’52”, Froome sempre secondo a 1’39”, poi Dumoulin a 1’50”.
La caduta di Philippe Gilbert in discesa dal Portet d’Aspet, è proprio poche curve dopo il punto della tragedia di Fabio Casartelli il 18 luglio 1995. Per ricordare Casartelli, Christian Prudhomme, si è fermato davanti al monumento che ricorda l’olimpionico di Barcellona 1992, insieme sono intervenuti i genitori Sergio e Rosa, ed è stata celebrata anche una messa

Anche oggi altra fuga a lunga gittata. A far festa è ancora il team Astana con il danese Magnus Cort Nielsen, 25 anni, che nello sprint a tre ha battuto facilmente lo spagnolo Ion Izagirre (2°) e l’olandese Bauke Mollema (3°).
I tre sono scattati nella prima parte della tappa insieme ad altri 26 corridori, tra i quali anche oggi Peter Sagan: la fuga si è spaccata poi sulle rampe del Pic de Nore, quando hanno attaccato via via Grellier, Majka, Bernard e poi anche il nostro Pozzovivo che nel finale ha lavorato a favore del compagno di squadra Ion Izagirre.
Il danese Nielsen, che nel suo palmares ora ha 12 vittorie in carriera 3 in questa stagione. Ed era stato proprio lui a poco più di 6 km dal traguardo, nonostante sia un velocista e avrebbe tranquillamente potuto aspettare l’epilogo, a promuovere l’azione decisiva e selezionare il gruppetto con i superstiti di una fuga di 29 corridori. Domenico Pozzovivo, primo italiano, chiude con il 6° posto.

Incredibile finale nella 12a tappa del Tour de France, da Bourg Saint Maurice Les Arcs all’Alpe d’Huez. Vittoria della maglia gialla Geraint Thomas (Sky) con 2” su Dumoulin e 3” su Bardet, quarto Froome; Landa a 7”, Roglic a 13”, Quintana a 47”. Pesanti fischi sul traguardo contro il Team Sky.
La tappa è stata animata dalla lunghissima fuga di Stefan Kruijswijk che ha pedalato per molti chilometri in maglia gialla virtuale e solo negli ultimi chilometri è stato raggiunto dai big della corsa, con uno straordinario Egan Bernal che ha scandito il passo dei migliori sull’Alpe per oltre dieci chilometri A 4 km dall’arrivo, Nibali è stato buttato a terra dalla moto della polizia che stava rimontando il gruppo dei migliori. Chrish Froome impone il fairplay a Thomas e Dumoulin, ma Bardet rompe il patto e attacca. Alla fine vince Thomas. In classifica, Thomas guida con 1’39” su Froome, 1’50” su Dumoulin, 2’37” su Nibali e 2’46” su Roglic. Ritiri a ripetizione: Gaviria, Greipel, Groenewegen, Gallopin, Zabel. Resistono solo Sagan, Demare e Kristoff.
