Paris-Nice winner takes over race lead, beats Boaro and van Garderen by one second
Paris-Nice winner Richie Porte has replicated his feat on the Col d’Eze, taking another time trial victory in an ASO-organised race. The Australian was quickest in the seven kilometre stage two Critérium International TT in Porto Vecchio, Corsica, beating Manuele Boaro (Team Saxo-Tinkoff) and Tejay van Garderen (BMC Racing Team) by one second, and his own team-mate Chris Froome (Sky Procycling) by two.
Froome originally set the quickest time but this mark was beaten by van Garderen. However the prospects of a BMC celebration one year after Cadel Evans took the overall classification were dashed when Porte went quicker, nabbing the win.
He said afterwards that he won despite the route not suiting him particularly well. “It was quite a technical route this afternoon, and not my sort of a course, but I’ve done a lot of work on my time trial position, and that’s definitely paid dividends,” he stated.
Porte had finished in the main bunch on the morning stage won in a sprint by Theo Bos. His TT earned him the yellow jersey of race leadership, holding that by the same one second margin over Boaro and van Garderen. With Froome very close by, he believes the team is in the perfect situation.
“We’re in a good position with me in the lead and Froomey sitting just a few seconds back. It’s going to be quite tight tomorrow because there’s a lot of good riders close to us,” he said.
“We came in with Froomey as our leader and he’s a great friend, so if he’s got good legs tomorrow and I don’t then I’ll be more than happy to ride for him. Obviously, I’d like to finish the job off if I can, but as long as Team Sky win tomorrow it’ll be a great day and we’ll all be happy. Right now I just want to enjoy the moment, and the fact that I have one more lion to add to the collection (laughs). I’m really happy on this team and in a really good place.”
The challengers he will face tomorrow include Paris-Nice runner-up Andrew Talansky (Garmin Sharp) and the third-placed finisher in that race, Jean-Christophe Peraud (AG2R La Mondiale). Both were seven seconds back, as was the talented young rider Bob Jungels (RadioShack Leopard).
Last year’s overall winner Cadel Evans (BMC Racing Team) fared less well, trailing in 45 seconds back in 74th place. He was three places behind an improving Andy Schleck (RadioShack Leopard), and spoke afterwards about problems during the test without giving details.
He has pledged his support for van Garderen, who will now be the BMC Racing Team’s sole leader for the race.
The last stage will be held Sunday. It is 176 kilometres in length and takes the riders from Porto Vecchio to the top of the Col de l’Ospedale climb.
