STAGE REPORT
The tempo and focus of the Tour changed completely for stage 12, as the first serious mountain climbing tested the genuine contenders. Sky's Geraint Thomas showed himself well with a lengthy run off the front, latterly in the company of Frenchman Jérémy Roy.
Thomas was also the first rider to fall on a slippery piece of road just over the top of the Tourmalet climb. He went down, semi-controlled, twice but re-mounted and went on chastened perhaps, but unharmed, which is more than can be said for several other riders who also crashed in the same place minutes later.
He was caught on the final climb of the day as the leading contenders flexed their muscles for the first time, but his aggressive riding was rewarded with the most aggressive rider prize for the stage.
Of the other British riders, David Millar, Ben Swift and Mark Cavendish all opted for a day in the "autobus", the group of non-climbers who ride together with the sole aim of avoiding elimination.
Cavendish won the mid-stage sprint-off with the other leading contenders for the Green Jersey, but they were all just fighting for scraps as the big points went to riders in a small break off the front at that point. Cavendish remains in command of the Green Jersey competition.
STAGE 12 ON TWITTER
But for all, it was the mountains which occupied their thoughts. To the spectators they are beautiful and the racing is exciting. For the riders the truth is a little less attractive:
Before the stage had even begun, Geraint Thomas was eyeing up the mountains ahead, with a wry tweet:
Good news!! We are doing the 'easy' side of the Tourmalet. 17km at 7.3%!!
Whilst Ben Swift was also mindful of the suffering ahead:
On our way to stage 12 apparently the tour starts today try telling my leg that. Hard day in the mountains today.
Mark Cavendish was more succinct:
Well, they've started. Mountains. #marvellous
But he cheered up at the end of ths stage when he heard about Geraint Thomas's fine ride:
Nice ride by the #welshcake @GeraintThomas86 today. Class rider, class guy (well, as much as a Cardiff boy can be.)
David Millar was similarly full of praise for GT but instead chose to rate the 'Cardiff boy' through the eyes of the cycling historian:
He may not have been first over, but in my eyes Geraint Thomas rode in the ghostly slipstream of Octave Lapize today, 101yrs of separation.
