Katusha pushing a fast pace in the peloton. The break is not getting more than the 3 minutes they have now. Seems like the break is doomed.

 

[saganftw]

how is there only one tinkoff rider in the break,even when they dont have to ride for contador,they are useless

 

[Gigs_98]

head wind.

No surprise. They are currently riding northwestwards, an will soon ride northeastwards.

Only the two ? Should be flying for the Vuelta then

no live pictures here, how is the break cooperating, I guess katuscha can't catch 15 guys alone

 

[Leffe_Bruin]

NOS reporting GVA is in the break?

not all of them will be fully committed

 

[Stilletto]

Strong riders in the break. If they work together they will ride faster than a couple of Katusha doms.

there's no TEAM tinkoff, just bunch of guys riding for their future contracts

Break doing well, more than 3,5 minutes now. The race center though suggest that sprinters only a minute behind peloton.

Edit: I think also Katusha realized they are not going to catch the break alone and now it seems the dropped riders are back in the peloton.

 

[Leffe_Bruin]

Peloton has stopped chasing, someone from the break will win

well then surely showing up in tour de france would be the best way to advertise your abilities to other teams

 

[Stilletto]

Break gone, soon 10 minutes

 

[doperhopper]

sprinters back? incl. Cav?

 

[sir fly]

So the breakaway it is?

Well, looks like I spoke too soon.

There are still the other sprinter teams that can rejoin and chase the break though.

well, they clearly do not think helping Sagan is the way

Can someone confirm GvA is also in the break? There were reports of him chasing:

14:18:15 CEST
Sylvain Chavanel (Direct Energie) and former yellow jersey Greg Van Avermaet (BMC) are also trying to get across to the break of the day. They know it could stay away.

That's not what the link says.

 

[doperhopper]

Cav motorpaced by mavic car... clearly not yet back

 

[SKSemtex]

Intermedia sprint is saved for Sagan , still not sure about the staying away from peloton. Still 100 km. No Etixx rider in the break.
