Let's hope some of these DSes haven't read all the Kelderman hype Dekker_T has been spreading, so they won't chase ;)

1) Atapuma Hurtado (Colombia-Coldeportes); 2) Alex Howes (Garmin-Barracuda); 3) Benjamin King (RadioShack-Nissan); 4) Carlos Julian Quintero (Colombia-Coldeportes); 5) Mikael Cherel (AG2R La Mondiale)

First KOM

Atapuma already showing his dominance. Howes & King though could be riders to watch in this breakaway they are both young american riders who have been basing their season on this ride and Howes has been forced into much domestique work this season without yet having the opportunity to shine..

Little more than 3 min, according to the tracker.

Already 5 abandons. Quite a hard stage, apparently.

3'-56" and the average speed is just over the 40kph, so, providing it doesn't drop, means that the might arrive around a scheduled finish time.

Eurosport, for some reason, showing less live tonight. Only the pointless, ruin a potentially decent stage, run in.

Yep it has dropped by 1 and a half min since then, the peloton probably realise that they have made a mistake. I wonder who is chasing?

It seems like the heat is doing for the abandonments.
