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.

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

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.

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

Well, looks like I spoke too soon.

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

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.

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