Crash for Froome as Marcel Kittel wins third stage from four as the Tour de France begins its journey around France
Tour de France – Stage 4
NOTE: Send your results as well as club, team & event news here
The best sprinter in the World claimed his third win in four stages at this year’s Tour de France, but his triumph opposite Stade Pierre Mauroy in Lille was more difficult than the previous ones. The Giant-Shimano colossus failed to anticipate Alexander Kristoff’s burst of raw power to gap them in the finish straight and had to squeeze every ounce of power he had to overtake the Norwegian. French champion Arnaud Démare (FJD) finished a solid third, ahead of Peter Sagan (CAN) and Bryan Coquard (EUC).

The stage in Northern France saw defending champion Chris Froome take a tumble at the very beginning, losing a lot of skin and having a wrist brace fitted. The Kenyan born Brit has had a scan and we understand it is not broken according to the TDF medical report.

The first stage on French soil starting on the beaches of Le Touquet without 2010 Tour champion Andy Schleck (TFR), not only saw Froome take a tumble but other GC favourites such as Bauke Mollema (BEL) and Spanish champion Jon Izaguirre (MOV).
The Brit’s misery was a boon for the two attackers, Thomas Voeckler and Maté whose lead had ballooned to 3′30″ by kilometre 50. Further back, Marcel Kittel’s Giant-Shimano and André Greipel’s Lotto-Belisol organised the chase while a side wind sapped the breakaways’ strength. Maté took advantage of the race situation to grab the points at the top of the first category 4 climb in defence of teammate Cyril Lemoine’s polka-dot jersey.

The intermediate sprint was contested in Cassel, the scene of Thomas Voeckler’s win at the 2011 Four Days of Dunkirk. The Frenchman took it ahead of Maté, with Peter Sagan (CAN) coming in third to add 15 Green jersey points to his tally. After the sprint, the Slovak’s teammates joined forces with Lotto to force a split. Riders like Michał Kwiatkowski (OPQ) who’d had a flat tyre and Joaquim Rodríguez (KAT) were caught out but eventually managed to claw their way back thanks to a Quickstep train.
This whole affair pushed Thomas Voeckler’s gap to 1′30″ at the top of the Mont Noir and extended his daring solo adventure after a front wheel puncture for Maté. However, the chasers regrouped and the Frenchman’s lead dwindled to just twenty seconds as he got out of Armentières, 30 km before the line. Calamity struck when three of André Greipel’s Lotto-Belisol teammates crashed and Kiwi Greg Henderson was forced to leave the race. Thomas Voeckler’s adventure came to an end in the outskirts of Lille with 16 km to go.

A series of incidents, including a fall for Peter Sagan’s with 15 km to go caused chaos in the final sprint. When Alberto Contador and Andrew Talansky’s teammates moved to the front to keep their leaders out of harm’s way, Katusha seized the opportunity to set up Milan – San Remo winner Alexander Kristoff. Marcel Kittel was forced to use up all of his gunpowder to shoot his way up to the Norwegian and clinch his seventh Tour stage win in two years.
Marcel Kittel: “All the time I was only thinking about the line. I could see the finish line and I really gave it everything I had today but it was very difficult. We did not underestimate Kristoff (who went early and gapped them), we always knew he was a very dangerous guy as he showed today. Today we saw that we were not unbeatable. We must still focus on our race and our preparation. It was tough today.”
Marcel added: “It was high speeds for the final 30km today, really fast and this made it difficult to stay together. We still came into the final few kilometres in a good position and the guys dropped me off at the front in the wheels. All I could think about was the last corner. We had studied the stage before with the coaches and knew that after the bend it was 250m to go. I nearly went then but held back and then went after the corner to get over to Kristoff. I had to go from a long way out but I managed to get past before the line.”

Thomas Voeckler doing what he does best, breaking away, enjoyed himself out front. “I had decided in the morning to make a move to dust off the engine. I’m a diesel, I’m 35, I need to warm up. I had no illusions about my chances to go all the way. But I really enjoyed myself today. We’re not afraid of tomorrow’s stage, but we’re apprehensive of course”.
“The goal for us will be to make sure to place Pierre Rolland in the best possible position and loses as little time as possible. The little failure he had yesterday is nothing, he has become one of the great Grand Tour riders in the world. He is now in another dimension. As for Bryan Coquard, you must give him time to progress but don’t worry, you will soon have to talk about him.”
Kristoff (2nd) “He is very strong, and he did not beat me by much today, but he beat me and thats enough. It was a little bit too far. We were a bit early. The tactic worked well, but it was just too far unfortunately”.
Demare (3rd): “I am very pleased with this 3rd place said the champion of France although I still missing a hint of success. I learn from my mistakes. I have not yet had the ideal position 300 meters from the finish line. The day I have it, I can hurt! The Tour is hard, victory is the ultimate satisfaction but tonight I can be satisfied with third place.
Fabian Cancellara of Trek talking on his team’s website about the next stage on the cobbles: “There are so many things that can change from one sector to another tomorrow. When it’s wet, it’s like roulette – it’s not about who is good on the bike anymore. In some ways it’s nice to have [cobbles], but in some ways it is not good to have it”.
“We are a big bunch and we already saw today that when we going into the towns with the traffic islands and so on, it’s dangerous. Cycling has to change, and we will see – after tomorrow maybe this will be addressed. Tomorrow is totally different [from Roubaix]. It will be a special situation. Remember in 2010 with Frank Schelck, he was in 4th position and it was dry and warm and he lost his Tour there as a rider took him out”.
“The circumstances are different, there are two races going on, where in Roubaix there is only one race. In Roubaix you have one team for yourself, and here there will be different teams with different set-ups. Plus with the bad weather that is on the map at the moment, it’s gonna be a disaster. It’s gonna be chaos – totally”.
“Whether cobbles should be here is a good question. It’s the ASO’s decision – they want to have a show tomorrow. But maybe after tomorrow we will have a history day in cycling where everything will change around. When it’s nice weather cobbles are not bad, but for tomorrow? Really I don’t know – maybe I will laugh tomorrow, or maybe I will cry. Ask me tomorrow after the race and I can answer that question.”
“Who has done Roubaix on wet roads? I don’t think there is anyone in the peloton who has. Even for me, I am a specialist in cobbles, and the rain is another circumstance. There are only 10-15 guys that really know how to ride so fast over the cobbles, but we are in the Tour. It’s not Roubaix and its not April.”

Alberto Contador: Talking on his team’s website, the Tinkoff-Saxo rider says “The last days have been nervous with great risk throughout the stages. And today the crosswind was a factor as well forcing us to be well positioned. My feeling is that I wasn’t further down than 20th position in the peloton during the entire stage”.
“That kept me safe and is a direct result of the work of my teammates. We didn’t crash but we had to “eat” a lot of wind to keep our positions. I gained two positions today, which means that we’ll have our team car closer to us”, said Contador. I will cross my fingers for tomorrow – it will be a really difficult day”.
“The weather forecast is very bad. Already without bad weather, it will be a complicated stage but with rain it will be like ice-skating with bikes. We will have winds of about 30 km/h, which might cut the peloton into pieces even before the cobblestones. But we are concentrated and we’ll ride the sections together as a team”, says Alberto.
“Right now I’m really happy about my shape and with the work we’re doing as a team. For now, everything has been as good as it gets”, concludes Contador.
