Purito on the move

Joaquim Rodriguez initiates a new breakaway from the peloton. He's far down on GC as he didn't start the Tour at the maximum of his capacities but he hopes to make something out of the mountain stages.

After 38km of racing, De Marchi and Martin have 30 seconds lead over Simon Spilak (Katusha) who went away solo from the group initiated by his team-mate Joaquim Rodriguez. Among the riders up there: Pierre Rolland (Europcar), Fabian Cancellara (Trek), Greg van Avermaet (BMC), Sylvain Chavanel (IAM), Tiago Machado (NetApp)... Peloton at one minute.

Looks like a very interesting stage

Who is the best placed rider up there?

 

[Arredondo]

Purito is going for the mountains jersey it looks like.

Of the riders recognized it's Machado 6 minutes after in GC.

 

[glassmoon]

Who is the best placed rider up there?

I guess Roland - some 7 mins down. Quite dangerous...

 

[alspacka]

These guys should be allowed to go. Previous one was a non starter. Blame Mollema.

Edit: Oh, Rolland. Maye not.

 

[Netserk]

Paulinho is the rider from Tinkoff.
