Tejay Van Garderen finished 22nd as part of the peloton in the 16th stage of the Tour de France as he maintained his overall placement, eighth and 4:47 behind leader Christopher Froome of Great Britain. The Tour now heads into a rest day on Tuesday before the final five days of racing to wrap up the event. For the third time in the last six stages Van Garderen was the only American in the top 100. Peter Stetina stayed 49th but lost a few minutes as he’s not 1:20:34 back.

After the rest day on Tuesday the Tour de France resumes with a 115-mile mountain stage on Wednesday. The race ends with five straight days of racing. There is one time trial, 11 miles in the mountains in stage 18, remaining.

In the Tour de Pologne on Monday Larry Warbasse wrapped up a seventh place overall finish as he was 18th in the 15-mile individual time trial. Warbasse finished 1:40 behind the time trial winner but didn’t lose much time overall as he stayed in seventh and finished 5:47 back. A top five finish would have been quite possible with a strong mountain ride in the sixth stage if it had not been cancelled due to bad weather. Alexey Vermeulen had his best finish of the race with a 29th place finish, 1:58 back, and wrapped up the race in 90th, 1:08:18 back. This race was by far Warbasse’s best finish of the year and he became the fourth American to finish a race in the top 10 on this year’s UCI Men’s World Tour.
