Great!!! What time racing starts?

Racing has already started with a breakaway of six 11min30 clear of the peloton after 67km.

The gap was as high as 12min45 at one point although some of the riders in the breakaway are around 10 minutes off the leaders and obviously that was becoming a threat to the yellow.

The breakaway is made up of the following riders:

- Yukiya Arashiro (JPN) EUC: 75th overall at 3'42"

- Kevin Reza (FRA) EUC: 177th overall at 27'44"

- Romain Sicard (FRA) EUS: 174th overall at 27'31"

- Thomas De Gendt (BEL) VCD: 150th overall at 24'48"

- Anthony Delaplace (FRA) SOJ: 86th overall at 6'01"

- Alexey Lutsenko (KAZ) AST: 142nd overall at 22'54"

 

So actually Yukiya Arashiro is slight threat to the GC at the moment.

 

I feel that Orica Greenedge would be quite happy to let a breakaway win so long as they don't threaten Gerrans time wise. Howeevr, I'd expect the likes of Quickstep and Argos Shimano to do some pace making in the peloton shortly.

yea, i dont think the gap will last with the peeps in the break away..

Agreed, Arashiro & Delaplace are going to ruin it for the lot of them :)

If the break could make it, which they won't, Japan will get its first yellow?

 

Off topic.. Does anyone have a live-stream link? all Steephill's links are now localised for the respective countries...

Don't know if you are after pictures but I use this, loads of extra info and you can check out the various stages and how the race progress 'virtually' as well.

So that settles it..

 

Daryl has just as much reason to want to win as the Aussie

To be very honest, the first 3 days of this year's tour have been beyond boring.

 

Huh?

What makes you reason that...
