Edit: And there was the tour de pologne too, and while the Österreich Rundfahrt was a joke the tour de pologne was actually really better than the tour. :D
Come on. Pologne was like a 20-rider Saturday ride when it's raining cats and dogs outside, and everyone's like screw this and four guys are like we're dressed, we're going and eventually two guys just say eff it we're bailing, and it's just the two guys who don't know when to quit, and it's really just one guy going hard the other guy is just making a tedious go of it, rather like this run-on sentence.

Geniez lost 1.32 in 2012. now having been in the break all day he'll lose more than 2 minutes
Did Geniez have any special motivation to go all out in 2012?

that climb is so steep, everyone goes all out otherwise you don't reach the top
No. Pros actually can take it easy at 20%, by going 5kph. Nothing hard about it, except gearing.

but then they wouldn't come in at 1.32 would they. Even if Froome or Contador did that on this climb they'd loose much more than 1.30

3:25 with 11km to go. Hopefully the break got this.
I have a feeling here's one guy in that break who's got it. The other two are about to hit a metaphorical as well a a literal wall. And it's just about sorting time.
