'Dale Posted July 20, 2013 Share The scenery is really stunning Beautiful course - curvy roads, green fields, villages, trees. French countryside in summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted July 20, 2013 Share After two climbs in quick succession, we now have a small break. The next highlight is the intermediate sprint at km 33.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted July 20, 2013 Share This group is not really getting away. Flecha doesn't like that and does his best to up the speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted July 20, 2013 Share And here is why Anton took those mountain points ahead of Rolland just now. HIs teammate Mikel Nieve came into the stage only 5 points behind Rolland, who was in second place. So Euskaltel doesn't want Rolland to get any more points, and hopes that Nieve can perhaps win the closing climb to take the polka-dots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted July 20, 2013 Share The lead group now has a gap of only 58 secnds as the peloton comes to the sprint. Greipel took the next remaining points. Flecha was the first across the line for the lead group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted July 20, 2013 Share Voigt doesn't want the group to get caught and pulls them up the next climb. The group splinters and he is the lead rider at 1:34". Machine! TALUS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
