It has been reported that Joaquim Rodriguez (Katusha) his hanging up his cleats at the end of this season. If that is the case, than this is him cresting his last alpine pass in the Tour de France. Not wanting to go out with a whimper, Purito jumped from the Yellow Jersey group and went on the offensive along with his teammate, Ilnur Zakarin. It was a long shot thinking that they could catch those up the road, the leaders were two and a half minutes and there is only eleven kilometer (downhill) to the finish. Still, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Perhaps he could go down the wet roads faster than anyone ahead or behind.
