minor ups minor downs nothing more
An exciting days racing, no?
Winners Cav and columbia, they may lose time tomorrow, but got the stage and have generated more talk than they would have winning the standard way, maybe they'll get lucky and put martin in yellow.
Astana, they bumped a rider up GC so that other contenders have someone else to waste energy marking.
Saxo bank, they have the yellow and are likely to keep it until stage 7
Skil, great effort boys. read the conditions and got some great television exposure. Its always nice to see lesser teams having a dig.
Losers Garmin, they lost their chance at yellow today.
Thats it all other teams, didn't lose any serious time to anyone they consider a threat. The confusion in the chase was caused by teams setting what they would allow the break and holding it. Once sprinters right off the stage, then the GC men decide, how much time do i give lance, rogers, kirchen etc...40 seconds ok.
If AC was in this break it wouldn't have gone anywhere, I think Lance being there and taking 40 seconds works to his advantage.
