[sultanofhyd]

Watching a couple of teenagers dancing and whatever doesn't cut it ffs.

The girl is cute, though.

 

[SeriousSam]

not the tour but the singer is cute

 

[Eclipse]

Sagan solo attacks are cuter.

well...maybe not...but you know, cycling!

 

[jens_attacks]

[JRTK73]

Voeckler, Rodriquez, Navarro, Herrada, Albasini, Konig, Gallapin are among the names trying to get away.

 

[SeriousSam]

that blue guy seems really strong, dominated the arm wrestling. bet he could do more than 6watt/kg on a bike

 

[Eclipse]

That's a pretty quality break

Gautier, Edet and Bakelants try to bridge across.

 

[The Hitch]

Last year weekend was way better. Bonsacre then a multi mountain stage. This year two breakaway stages and the good **** saved for the weekdays. Pff.

 

[tomorrow]

strong breakaway, but it doesn't look they're gonna be let go

 

[Netserk]

Gautier, Edet and Bakelants try to bridge across.

And they have succeeded.

 

[Arredondo]

Purito is going to test himself the first time this Tour. Nice to see.

Good strong group, should be interesting if they can stay away.

 

[Netserk]

I expect Sagan to go on the descent to bridge to the break.

 

[l.Harm]

Gallopin pretty close in GC though... would they give the jersey away? Wouldn't give Ten Dam too many minutes.

 

[Netserk]

Current breakaway in a more readable format:

13:37 Breakaway up to col de la Schlucht

Danny Pate (Sky), Jesus Herrada (Movistar), Joaquim Rodriguez and Simon Spilak (Katusha), Sergio Paulinho (Tinkoff), Alessandro De Marchi (Cannondale), Laurens ten Dam (Belkin), Jan Bakelants (OPQS), Ben Gastauer (AG2R), Tom Dumoulin (Giant), Kristjan Durasek (Lampre), Arthur Vichot (FDJ), Tony Gallopin (Lotto), Amaël Moinard (BMC), Perrig Quémeneur, Cyril Gautier and Thomas Voeckler (Europcar), Dani Navarro and Nicolas Edet (Cofidis), Michael Albasini (Orica), Danilo Wyss (IAM), Leo König and José Mendes (NetApp) and Brice Feillu (Bretagne) have 17 seconds lead over the peloton.

 

[whittashau]

Very nice group. Astana I'm sure would be happy with any of them in yellow.

 

[jens_attacks]

paulinho and navarro up there for alberto

 

[tomorrow]

I expect Sagan to go on the descent to bridge to the break.

he may try it, but I am not sure this is the correct break, although probably 10s are no effort in the descent for sagan

 

[Netserk]

Trek have missed the break and try to shut it down

13:38 Rodriguez and Voeckler on the move

Joaquim Rodriguez and Thomas Voeckler are very active at the head of the breakaway. Trek chases them down at the front of the peloton.

 

[Hugo87]

If that group manage to stay away from the bunch, it will be a fun day for sure.

 

[cineteq]

Very nice group. Astana I'm sure would be happy with any of them in yellow.

Ten Dam or Konig in yellow?

 

[l.Harm]

Really strong break. Trek better sends someone to bridge the gap?!
