Ye Vino and then Hesjedal a few seconds behind (7'12'' and 7'51'' respectively) with Kreuziger 7 seconds behind Hesjedal on 7'58'' and Sastre at 9'02''.

 

[Scirea]

Who is the dangerous (timewise) rider in this break? Vino the highest on GC?

Yes. Then Hesjedal, Kreuziger and Sastre.

 

[Publicus]

Thanks. Tough day at the office for these guys.

He did on the descent. At least a Saxo rider did, did not catch a number however.

Fuglsang is also there with him.

 

[Mellow Velo]

UK Eurosport hammering on about "weak" Astana, who have Vino in the break and 4 in the peloton.
Mis-informing about Sergio P being in the break with Horner and the Grey ghost.

Meanwhile, Schleck has just one man.

If you are going to have a crucial "mechanical", Andy's is panning out as lucky.

 

[khodder]

Teams not in the break that could chase...

Rabobank...I think that is it.

 

[Ramira]

Gap getting a bit bigger again, pace getting high in the peleton (Evans went off again).

 

[Big GMaC]

Garate gone. Break is yo-yoing

 

[superconfex]

evans gone

 

[Mellow Velo]

Cadel dropped. Ding ding!

 

[Ferminal]

Elbows will be on and off the back all day.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Main bunch split into 2?

 

[khodder]

Good thing for the break is that even though they are expending big energy, so are the Peloton.

 

[Ferminal]

Szmyd gone, up to Horner now...

 

[Scirea]

Astana/Rabobank/Lotto working togerther just fine.
