Tour de France 2016 **SPOILERS**

[suzeworld]

Tour ticker says Sagan and Dumoulin (S) have sat up waiting for the rest of the break, and Katusha are chasing it.

Break at 3 minutes is Mikel Landa (Sky), Gorka Izagirre (Movistar), Vincenzo Nibali (Astana), Peter Sagan (Tinkoff), Samuel Dumoulin (AG2R-La Mondiale), Damiano Caruso and Greg Van Avermaet (BMC), Edvald Boasson Hagen and Stephen Cummings (Dimension Data), Tony Gallopin (Lotto-Soudal), Rui Costa (Lampre-Merida), Sylvain Chavanel (Direct Energie), Luke Durbridge, Daryl Impey and Michael Matthews (Orica-BikeExchange)

That is a very strong break ... interesting.

ITV4's subtitles have just told me 16 fat former wearers of the yellow jersey are in the break.

I think they'll need to get rid of the intermediate sprints if they ever want anyone else to win the points competition.

WTF is Tommy gurning V doing leading the peloton chase?
Chavanel is in the break and says he really fancies himself for this stage

 

[rich p]

Touch and go if the break will stick now

BTW, I've changed the sheets, cleaned the bathroom, been for an mtb ride and made lunch...

...in case anyone thinks I'm a lazy good-for-nothing couch potato!

Close up photos of bits of the bathroom and we can decide on a more informed basis.

It's as clean as Ianrauk's sprockets...
...and it's pissing down outside anyway.

It is going to stick and Chavanel is only a poursuivant

More than I've done, I put away some laundry and did a few sewing jobs .. which can be done in the couch potato position.
I am rooting for EBH in this group .. they are surely not going to get caught, 5 minutes at 20kms to go

Cav back at the doctor's car but France 3 doesn't know why. They're asking his team (ha!). .

any news on Cav?

not a chance

 

[HF2300]

Peloton aren't interested in catching them, it's just whether they faff about and the poursuivants do.

any news on Cav?

He was having a piss and soon got back into the peloton
