My preferred answer is that Andre gets bored very, very easily, which is why he always seems to be getting in random breaks. Perhaps a more plausible answer is that he's concerned that the GC teams will hammer it in the crosswinds, meaning the gruppetto which will form up Ventoux will be very tired and more likely to get caught out of the time cut. By getting in the break, you might be better positioned going into the climb.

Navarro. Pauwels and De Gendt could win as well.RattaKuningas said:Hugo Koblet said:Oh God please, make sure this break is caught.
I don't think there is any doubt about that. Doesn't seem to be any strong climbers there.

Because noone is chasing. But don't worry about Chris Anker Sørensen, he's got no chance of winning.Valv.Piti said:Hugo Koblet said:Red Rick said:Did the chasing group make it?
