How many other riders have the initiative and the strength to blow apart a race like that? I still think that was Contador wanting to find out just how good Froome was first hand.

I think Froome will just mock everyone in this race.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Break established after a few kms:

Van Hecke, Wallays (both TSV), Boem (BAR) and Bazzana

Now 40km into the race: Gap about 4 minutes with Lotto driving the peloton.

Pace is pedestrian at around 38km/h.

What is the point of sponsoring a team for a race, when the thing is not televised anywhere ?

And the riders get to stay in really nice hotels paid for by liquid gold

 

[manafana]
