'Dale Posted July 19, 2014 Share The riders are climbing the Briançon side of the Izoard. It's considered the easier of the two sides, but don't let that fool you. It starts with a manageable 6% at the bottom, but hits almost 10% in the final 5km of the climb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted July 19, 2014 Share The leaders are just about to hit the top of the Izoard and they've been reduced to 12 men now, with several riders dropping out the back. Thomas is currently leading them with a 3:03 gap ont he peloton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted July 19, 2014 Share Démare is getting some attention from the medical car. At least it is much cooler today than it was yesterday or the stomach problems may have put an end to his race very early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted July 19, 2014 Share Roche, Edet and Taaramae have all been dropped from the leading group and Moinard looks like he could be the next victim. Only 10 men left in the front group now. They still have a gap of 3:07. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted July 19, 2014 Share Rodriguez takes up the lead and drives towards the KOM point. He gets the full 25 points and a neat 5,000 euros to take home. He now has the polka-dot jersey back for real this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted July 19, 2014 Share AG2R set the pace for a little bit on the climb, with Bardet sitting second wheel. He gets a drink and moves back a little bit, Astana resume their work on the front of the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
