Break will scatter on the climb and slowly come back to the peloton in parts.

it will depend on the pace of the break, however, if the are reduced to some reasonable number they should cooperate rather than attack each other

edit: also, if the paco of the peloton will not be high, there will be some counter attacks on the descent i think, curious why if moser is in the break, he could challenge the polka dot jersey maybe?

More about mainting speed on the climb than actual attacks.

Andy looking for the team car...

Piccolo principe finally got in the good break?

Think I saw him heading backwards towards the peloton but may have been wrong. Really disappointing tour for him, any news of injuries/issues?

Edit: being reported as being in the second breakaway group.

The mountains were not big enough for him.

Hmm, both Hernandez and Paulinho were useless yesterday.

saxo should've gotten more riders in there, to me seems they don't care anymore. also quintana is going to gift polka dots to nieve? I think.hope he will go on madeleine with valverde and have his teammates wait

If Riblon can hoover up 50 points on the two HC climbs that should be enough to win him the polka dot in paris.
No, it won't be enough. Quintana or Froome will get 50 points on stage 20.

I hope so I've a huge bet on Froome winning it with another bet on Quintana to cover it just in case.
If Riblon pulls this off it will be a typical betting disaster.

This is a good situation for potential fireworks on the madeleine.

If quintana or contador have the legs and can ride to this group without Froome :D
