Le Tour Stage 6 - **Spoiler**

[Haitch]

Tom Steels (remember him?) was on TV last night and he, too, said Boonen was planning to take it easy in the first week.

Phil Liggett says it's chucking it down in Barcelona at the moment - could make things a bit hairy...

Yeah just saw that - Millar at the front. You never know if he holds off he's not that far behind in GC

Millar in Yellow?

Augé, Millar and Chavanel in the break

Augé, Millar and Chavanel in the break

Over 3 min's up according to Eurosport

It's possible they might just let the break have it today but not let them get too far ahead. Millar could be in yellow tonight, but neither he nor the others is a serious prospect for the jersey come Paris, or indeed beyond tomorrow... and as it isn't a classic sprinters' finish, the sprinters' teams might not bother too much either.

Mind you, it's a long way out for a successful break - more likely they will be caught somewhere around the second climb and there will be another immediate breakaway...

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Possibly - and, sorry, I meant the third climb (the first Cat 3), which is next, followed swiftly by another. The gap is not getting any bigger at the moment.

[SimonRoberts0204]

are we expecting the peloton to catch the break by the time they top this climb?

 

[Landslide]

They're clearly not riding fast enough...

 

[I am Spartacus]
