La Vuelta – Jonas Van Genechten: «C’est plus que génial car je ne pensais pas pouvoir gagner ici»

LE CRI DU CŒUR: De Jonas Van Genechten. «C’est plus que génial car je ne pensais pas pouvoir gagner ici.»

 LE FAIT DU JOUR: La 16e victoire de la saison 2016 pour IAM Cycling est devenue réalité grâce à Jonas Van Genechten, auteur d’un numéro dans les trois cents derniers mètres en faux-plat montant menant à la ligne d’arrivée de la 7e étape de La Vuelta.

L’EXPLICATION: De Jonas Van Genechten encore. «J’ai su m’accrocher dans les premiers hectomètres de l’ultime GPM. Ensuite le col était roulant. Dans les deux derniers kilomètres, il a fallu jouer des coudes pour se placer. A la sortie de la chicane menant au petit talus final, je me suis placé idéalement. Ensuite je n’ai pas tergiversé et je me suis efforcé d’appuyer de toutes mes forces sur les pédales. Gagner devant Valverde ou Gilbert, spécialiste de ce genre d’arrivée, n’en est que plus beau.»

LA PHRASE: De Clément Chevrier. «Depuis le début de cette Vuelta, nous avons joué avec nos moyens et écouté les directeurs sportifs nous demandant de jouer l’offensive. Aujourd’hui, nous sommes récompensés à notre juste valeur. Après Vegard Stake Laengen dans l’échappée, j’ai mis le nez à la fenêtre dans la dernière bosse. Et finalement, c’est Jonas Van Genechten qui s’est fait un point d’honneur à mettre la cerise sur le gâteau.»

L’ANALYSE: D’Eddy Seigneur, directeur sportif de IAM Cycling en compagnie de Marcello Albasini et Mario Chiesa sur La Vuelta. «Nous avons cherché à gagner une étape depuis le début de La Vuelta. La solidarité était magnifique tous les jours. Et aujourd’hui nous avons déjà atteint l’objectif fixé pour cet événement. Cela va motiver encore plus les gars car nous sommes loin de baisser les bras. Nous n’avons pas réussi à décrocher le maillot de meilleur grimpeur avec Simon Pellaud mais nous sommes récompensés avec ce magnifique bouquet décroché par Jonas Van Genechten.»

L’EXPLOIT: Celui de IAM Cycling, qui pour fêter sa dernière saison au sein du World Tour, a réussi de gagner une étape dans chaque grand tour national de trois semaines. Après Kluge au Giro, Pantano au Tour de France, c’est Jonas Van Genechten qui s’est imposé. Ajoutez le titre de champion de Suisse de Jonathan Fumeaux et vous comprendrez que Michel Thétaz, fondateur de IAM Cycling, a trouvé nombre de sujets de satisfaction depuis le moi de mai.  

LE MENU DU JOUR: La 8e étape se résumera à une longue approche plate de 173 km avant une course de côte finale. En effet, l’arrivée sera jugée au terme d’une ascension de 8,5 km avec une pente moyenne de 7,4% mais avec des passages avoisinant les 25%. Autant dire que les prétendants à la victoire finale ne manqueront pas de se tester avant deux autres arrivées au sommet autrement plus compliquées à l’Alto del Naranco et au Lagos de Covadonga. 



Vuelta a Espana #7: Sbaragli in the mix for top 10

Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka still chasing stage win

It was another punchy bunch sprint at today's 7th stage of the Vuelta a Espana. Jonas Van Genechten (IAM Cycling) was the victor and Daniele Bennati (Tinkoff) and Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) finished in 2nd and 3rd respectively. Darwin Atapuma (BMC Racing) had no problem retaining his overall race leader’s jersey.

Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka started today's stage with plans to have Kristian Sbaragli and Nathan Haas in contention during the stage finale. 6 riders formed the early break of the day but as the peloton only gave them a 2'30" lead, it was clear it would not be their day. Astana created an interesting situation though as they chased down the escape with still 50km to go.

The new race situation meant it would not be a straight forward sprint stage as fresh attacks put the peloton under pressure and this saw our ill Basque rider, Igor Anton being dropped from the main pack. A number of riders were distanced though as the race sped into to Puebla de Sanabria. After the selection had been made, our African Team still had Kristian Sbaragli, Nathan Haas, Jaco Venter and Merhawi Kudus in the mix.

A dangerous 5 rider move went away on the final categorised climb of the day, containing Simon Clarke (Cannondale - Drapac) and Lluis Leon Sanchez (Astana). Haas would contribute to the chase of the late breakaway attempt as Sbaragli was our go to man for the finish now. Clarke and Sanchez led under the 1km to go banner but the gap was only 6 seconds to the pack and the last few hundred meters dragged all the way up to the line.

Sbaragli once again put himself in a good position as the race went into a sharp left hand bend at 600m to go. There was another crash, like yesterday, but this time Sbaragli was ahead of the misfortune. The two leaders were caught just before the line and Van Genechten went on to prove he was the strongest on this type of finish. Sbaragli was right on the wheels of the front runners but had to settle for 8th at the line. Despite his illness, Anton completed today's stage to ensure our African Team still have all 9 riders in the race. 

JP Heynderickx - Sport Director
It was another missed chance today. It was a tricky finish and getting into a good position before the last 500m, which was all uphill, was really important. We got a top 10 but we wanted more from today.
