In a brilliant display of team tactics, CSC-Saxo Bank's Carlos
Sastre launched an unmatched attack at the base of the Alpe d'Huez and
rode solo into the overall lead and the stage win.

This evening in L'Alpe d'Huez, more than one bottle of champagne will
pop in team CSC-Saxo Bank's hotel. After continuously building up the
pressure against its rivals in this Tour de France, the Danish squad
pulled off its greatest coup on the Queen stage of the event. Dominated
by Riis' riders, the stage saw team captain Carlos Sastre score the
victory on the epic slopes of L'Alpe d'Huez and take over the yellow
jersey from team-mate Fränk Schleck.
The Spaniard took advantage of a huge team effort to attack right in
the first metres of the ascent, barely coming out of Bourg d'Oisans.
Nobody of the general classification leaders was able to follow at this
stage, and Sastre continued his raid towards the top solo, never to be
seen again. He finally finished 2'03 minutes ahead of Samuel Sanchez
(Euskaltel-Euskadi), who came in second with Andy Schleck (CSC-Saxo
Bank) in third position.
"I decided to attack from the start because everyone was tired from
the CSC efforts on the Col de la Croix de Fer," Sastre explained. "I
took off from the start to get as much time as possible. I knew I could
do better at my own pace instead of having to face constant attacks."
The stage winner said that it had been his idea to attack at the
base of the climb, but that this had only been made possible thanks to
his team-mates. "Without their help I would not have done it. The
Schleck brothers sacrificed themselves, and that is the philosophy of
the team," he added.
The Spaniard was overjoyed to finally be wearing yellow, a jersey he
had been chasing for years. Even in the Vuelta a España, where he has
twice stood on the final podium, he only wore the leader's garment for
one day, in 2006. "After so many years, I have to really thanks my
team-mates, the Schleck bothers and Riis for the dream come true," an
emotional Sastre said.
Team-mate Fränk Schleck wasn't unhappy to give away the jersey to
Sastre, to the contrary. "That Carlos takes the jersey may be a little
loss for me, but it's a full success today for the whole team," he said
in the finish. "What we did today is fantastic. The boys were just so
strong. Kurt, for example, did a hell of a job. Chapeau to him. He said
this morning, 'boys, we need to hurt today', and he sacrificed himself
completely."
His younger brother Andy, who retained the white jersey of best
joung rider, was of the same opinion. "I'm so proud to be in this
team," he said. "Today, we showed again that we are by far the
strongest. Even a guy like Cancellara dropped the hammer on the climb
for Carlos - and he's not a climber at all. It was fantastic today and
I'm really, really happy for Carlos, because he has been hunting this
for a long, long time. He worked so hard for this for many years, and
now he gets it."
Sastre now has a 1'34 minutes advantage over Cadel Evans
(Silence-Lotto) on the overall classification. Asked if that was enough
of a lead for him to win the Tour, Fränk Schleck said, "I don't know.
But as we want to win it, this was the right team tactic for today. The
fact that we are the strongest team is our main asset. We tried, and it
worked! First of all, we achieved a fantastic win here today, and
secondly, Carlos has the jersey. Andy did a great job; he's in white;
we have the team competition..."
Speculation now abounds as to the time trial capabilities of Sastre
against his main rivals Cadel Evans (Silence-Lotto) and Denis Menchov
(Rabobank), who also suffered today but finally managed to hold on to
the main contenders' group. Evans lost 2'15 minutes on Sastre in L'Alpe
d'Huez, finishing seventh. But the Australian played it cool, hoping to
make up the gap again in the race's last time trial: "To be honest, I
think it was not a time loss," he said in the finish. He started
chasing Sastre and leading out the group by himself when the Spaniard's
gap grew over two minutes. "There was no support, they all sat on. It
was a headwind and the headwind probably worked in my advantage
yesterday, but today they could obviously sit on the wheel and
recover."
Menchov got dropped by Sastre's attack in the early part of the
climb, but then came back to the group. He was obviously disappointed
as he also lost 2'15 minutes on Sastre, but made it into the finish in
Evans' group, placing eighth. Evans is therefore 1'05 minutes ahead of
him on general classification. Regarding the time trial, the Rabobank
leader said, "Anything is possible because Evans is a specialist.
However, Carlos is also good. We will see, patience."
Garmin-Chipotle's GC captain Christian Vande Velde, as well as
polkoadot jersey Bernhard Kohl (Gerolsteiner) all crossed the line
within Evans' group. Vande Velde had some words of praise for the stage
winner, Carlos Sastre. "It was uncaracteristic of Carlos to attack,
he's usually sitting on the back," the American said. "He deserved it.
He was awesome."
Vande Velde also thought that Sastre's advantage over Evans could be
enough to take the yellow jersey to Paris. "Carlos isn't a horrible
time triallist," he said. "Everyone has this perception, that if you're
not in the top three then you can't time trial. But he's good. It's
Cadel's race to lose."
Kohl now sits in third position on the overall, 1'33 minutes behind
the new leader. But the Gerolsteiner rider's time trial abilities may
not be enough to target a podium finish in Paris. "I don't think I can
stay in the top three," Kohl said. "I might end up fifth or sixth, but
even that is still very satisfying for me, as I hope to retain the
polkadot jersey. That is more than I ever expected from this Tour, so
I'm overjoyed."
The 2008 Tour de France overall victory is still very open after the
race's last mountain day. With the top five riders all within 2'39
minutes, and a final time trial over 53 kilometres awaiting the riders
next Saturday, the victory and podium placings will be decided between
Sastre, Fränk Schleck, Kohl, Evans and Menchov. Place your bets.
How it unfolded
The Alps offered a stunning scenery

At 11:25 the 151 remaining riders set off under sunny skies and
nervous stomachs as the day's hardest stage awaited: with three hors categorie
climbs and the finish at Alpe d'Huez. It would be a make or break day
for the main contenders, and they had perfect weather to wage their
war. The temperature at the start was a comfortable 17 degrees, but the
day would heat up as much as the racing action.
As the peloton passed the real start at 11:40, riders didn't
hesitate to attack. Inside the first kilometre the first three to take
off were Rubén Pérez (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Rémy Di Gregorio (Française
des Jeux) and Peter Velits (Team Milram), and they quickly built up a
lead of 1'30. After 14 kilometres, the previous day's most aggressive
rider, Stefan Schumacher (Gerolsteiner), left the bunch and joined the
break.
The four riders held 2'14" on the peloton as they crested the first
climb of the day, the relatively miniscule category three côte de
Sainte-Marguerite. Schumacher preceded Di Gregorio, Pérez and Velits.
At the sprint in Monêtier-les-Bains 16 kilometres later, where Di
Gregorio took the points ahead of Velits and Schumacher, the lead had
doubled.
The leaders would enjoy an advantage of 5'47 at the base of the
massive Col du Galibier, and once the CSC-Saxo Bank team put Nicki
Sørensen on the front, his pace started to gradually eat away at the
gap.
As the leaders neared the top of the Galibier, Pérez started to
have trouble, but was close enough to catch up on the descent.
Schumacher led Di Gregorio and Velits over the top. A bit more than
five minutes later, Thomas Voeckler (Bouygues Telecom) jumped out of
the bunch to battle for the mountain points. Fabian Wegmann led
Bernhard Kohl back up to the Frenchman, with John-Lee Augustyn
(Barloworld) up there as well. Augustyn had obviously recovered from
his crash yesterday.

Voeckler had dropped back and then sprinted full gas in an attempt
to surprise the Austrian between the motor bikes. A nice tactic, but it
didn't work. Kohl paid attention and took the points for fifth, with
Voeckler edging out Augustyn. Amets Txurruka (Euskaltel-Euskadi),
Kanstantsin Siutsou (Columbia) and Carlos Barredo (Quick Step) received
the remaining points.
The descent saw a number of crashes, but fortunately all riders
were relatively unscathed and able to continue. In the breakaway, Di
Gregorio had a bit of trouble and unclipped in a left hand turn. That
threw off Perez, who ended up riding off to the right, but the meadow
softened his fall.
In the peloton Freddy Bichot (Agritubel) and Adam Hansen (Columbia)
went down as well, and later George Hincapie also had his turn on the
pavement.
Voeckler kept going after the summit and descended by himself. He
had done that multiple times during the Tour and seemed to be more
comfortable riding down by himself. But he was joined by Amets Txurruka
(Euskaltel-Euskadi) and Carlos Barredo (Quick Step). Vincenzo Nibali
(Liquigas) also jumped across, but the four were caught by the fast
charging peloton, still led by CSC.
The break was now losing ground. With 108 kilometres to go, the
four hit the top of the Télégraphe, which didn't offer any mountain
points this year. The lead was down to 3'29.
On the descent from the Télégraphe, Di Gregorio was going extremely
careful and quickly lost contact with the leaders. At the bottom in
Saint-Martin-d'Arc he was already down by half a minute with 97
kilometres left to go.
As the leaders approached the Col de la Croix de Fer, a sign read
29 kilometres to the top which was not a pretty sight. The lead of the
trio out front had reached seven minutes, while Di Gregorio never made
it back to the front.
With the start of the climb over, O'Grady had done his work.
Cancellara took over for CSC and the gap started to drop. He set a
terrible pace, catching and dropping Di Gregorio and putting the
sprinters off the back. Even white jersey contenders Nibali and Maxime
Monfort (Cofidis) gave up the ghost. Jimmy Casper (Agritubel) had been
dropped early in the stage and was now 18 minutes behind and nearly
assured of being time cut.

Up front, Pérez lost contact with Velits and was caught by the
peloton, while Schumacher and Velits had only three minutes on the
thinning bunch with ten kilometres to the top of the climb.
Seven kilometres from the top Schumacher couldn't hang on and was dropped by Velits.
Schumacher was caught with less than five kilometres to the top. Velits still had a two-minute lead.
Velits crested the top of the Croix de Fer by himself. The yellow
jersey group followed 1'11 later. The group had grown again towards the
top and included Fränk Schleck, Andy Schleck, Kurt-Asle Arvesen and
Carlos Sastre (CSC-Saxo Bank), Cadel Evans (Silence-Lotto), Christian
Vande Velde (Garmin Chipotle - H30), Alejandro Valverde (Caisse
d'Epargne), Bernhard Kohl (Gerolsteiner), Denis Menchov (Rabobank),
Pieter Weening (Rabobank), David Moncoutié (Cofidis), Tadej Valjavec
(AG2R La Mondiale), Kanstantsin Siutsou (Columbia), Samuel Sánchez
(Euskaltel-Euskadi), Sandy Casar (Française des Jeux), Chris Froome
(Barloworld), Johan Van Summeren (Silence-Lotto).
The order over the top was Velits, Kohl, Arvesen, Andy Schleck, Vande Velde, Fränk Schleck, Froome, Siutsou and Sastre.
Cunego, who has struggled on the climbs for the entire Tour was
once again chasing over the top, but was able to make it back to the
front on the descent. Others like Popovych and even Van Summeren came
back as well.
On the early part of the descent, Pineau jumped out of the group
and while he struggled to make ground on the descent, the Frenchman
worked his way up to Velits in the valley, and caught up with 30
kilometres to go, just in time to 'win' the sprint in Bourg-d'Oisans.
Even though the pair worked together, it was clear that the pace of
the CSC-Saxo Bank squad would not let any break survive. Velits dropped
back first, then Pineau got reeled in thanks to the work of Arvesen and
Cancellara.

At the base of the Alpe, Sastre was the first to give it a go. He
was marked by Menchov, and the accelerations quickly thinned the group,
dropping Cunego and Kirchen, among many others. Sastre's second attack
was the bonne. He sped away, while the group behind formed
around yellow jersey Fränk Schleck. His brother Andy, Kohl, Evans,
Valverde, Vande Velde, and the very strong AG2R trio of Efimkin,
Valjavec and Goubert hanging on.
Menchov soon paid for his efforts to stay with Sastre. He fell out
of the yellow jersey group and quickly lost 30 seconds. But he measured
himself well, and inched his way back to within some ten seconds.
On the front, Sastre fought on by himself. He had 55 seconds on the
group with eight kilometres to go. Accelerations by riders like Goubert
were always answered by Andy Schleck. With the younger brother easily
able to answer any attack, the group stayed together and with six
kilometres to go, Menchov was finally back in the group.
Sastre hit the five-kilometre to go sign with a lead of 1'50. It
was now up to Evans to take over the pace making to limit his time loss
to the Spaniard. CSC had the best cards to play, but an expected attack
from Fränk Schleck never came.
3.5 kilometres from the finish Efimkin attacked, but again Andy Schleck marked
him. The final acceleration came from Samuel Sánchez, less than two kilometres
from the line. The two came in two minutes after Sastre and ten seconds ahead
of the yellow jersey group.
Stage 18 - Thursday, July 24: Bourg d'Oisans - Saint Étienne, 196.5km
The Alps are behind us now, but this stage is by no means flat with a third,
a second and a fourth category climb en route. The course doesn't suit the sprinters,
but neither is it tough enough for the climbers and overall contenders, for
this reason it has breakaway written all over it. Anyone who has managed to
save a bit of energy over the preceding few days will have a go here and in
all likelihood the time gap allowed will be enormous providing nobody of any
note is in the break.
Bourg d'Oisans has been a stage start time 19 times before, but has never hosted
a finish. Sitting as it is at the foot of Alpe d'Huez, it is a natural choice
for the next day's stage. The last time a stage started here was in 2006 when
the course headed north to another mountaintop finish at La Toussuire. Danish
super-climber Michael Rasmussen (Rabobank) took the victory alone on his way
to taking the polka dot mountain jersey.
Saint Etienne is another regular Tour host, having been a stage town 23 times
before, partly because it used to be the centre of the French bicycle industry.
Last time the Tour was here it saw Lance Armstrong (Discovery Channel) cement
his seventh and final Tour de France by taking victory in the final time trial
of the 2005 race. That day also saw the tragicomic end to Michael Rasmussen's
(Rabobank) hope of a podium place, as a disastrous ride saw him crash twice
and change his bike three times.
