La 14ª tappa del Tour de France 2012 (Limoux-Foix, 191 km) ha visto il successo di Luis Leon Sanchez (Rabobank). Lo spagnolo, da tempo alla ricerca della vittoria, è riuscito a giungere tutto solo sul traguardo distanziando i compagni di fuga, tra i quali anche la maglia verde Peter Sagan (Liquigas-Cannondale), poi secondo.
Luis Leon ha dimostrato come sempre un’ottima visione tattica di corsa e anche di aver recuperato dalla caduta della prima settimana, in cui aveva battuto violentemente il polso sinistro.
La corsa oggi, purtroppo, deve però registrare un grave episodio: sono stati gettati a terra dei chiodi sull’ultimo tratto del Mur de Péguère e nella successiva discesa! Questo folle gesto ha causato una trentina circa di forture e tra gli sfortunati Cadel Evans (BMC Racing Team), che ha dovuto attendere l’ammiraglia perdendo un paio di minuti. Il gruppo, capitanato dalla maglia gialla Bradley Wiggins (Team Sky), ha deciso di aspettare il rientro di Evans non attaccando. A farne le spese maggiori è però stato Robert Kiserlovski: il croato del Pro Team Astana è caduto subito dopo lo scollinamento, riportando la frattura di una clavicola ed essendo così costretto al ritiro.

Domani la 15ª tappa (Samatan-Pau, 158,5 km) non propone particolari difficoltà, sarà una frazione per fughe e probabilmente una delle ultime occasioni riservate ai velocisti. Questa l’altimetria:
