They will catch the leaders but i doubt peleton will brought them back. So we have around 45 guys for GC. Big fail by CCC again, was working on front and when big guys went for it they were left behind again. Colombia at least managed to add Quintero in the counter attack.

The peloton is now headed by AG2R and it's gaining a little bit of ground.......

Second group still at 46 secs and the peloton is only at 1'18 now.

peloton now at 1'30'' with less than 20km to go. It's done for them I guess.

(fortunately all four riders from my cq game team made the front group)

peloton at 1'45 now

Apparently it's raining attacks in the front group, but if I understand it correctly a group of 9 riders bridged to the three attackers. There's a group of 12 with a 20 secs gap now.

EDIT: Yes the group of 12 is Gautier, Courteille, Gougeard, Coledan, Vanendert, Boeckmans, Ligthart, Chetout, Helven, Lietaer, Van Goethem, Siskevicius et Duval.

EDIT except it's 13 and they've got 35 seconds now! :p
