Gen Posted July 25, 2014 Share Cyril Gautier (Europcar) is the first to try an attack. Who will join him? He has been a very busy bee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted July 25, 2014 Share Also with Gautier now are Tom-Jelte Slagter (Garmin-Sharp), Martin Elmiger (IAM Cycling) and Arnaud Gérard (Bretagne-Seche). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted July 25, 2014 Share Thibaut Pinot (Fdj.fr) also tried to get in a move despite being second overall. However he was quickly chased down and the quartet has quickly gained a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted July 25, 2014 Share The riders are on the attack but perhaps unaware of what awaits them at the finish in Bergerac. It is pouring with rain, with strong winds blowing over barriers and and advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted July 25, 2014 Share Rein Taaramäe (Cofidis) has managed to go across to the quartet. He had started chasing soon after they went clear and so has a chance to give Cofidis a stage win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hboli4 Posted July 25, 2014 Share At km 38, the peloton is under a storm, 3.35 behind the five breakaway riders. It was cloudy but dry at the beginning of the race and it's pouring rain at the finishing town of Bergerac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted July 25, 2014 Share Only 8 of the 22 teams have a stage win in this Tour de France, with Astana leading with Vincenzo Nibali's four stage wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted July 25, 2014 Share Naturally none of the five riders in the break are a threat overall. Gautier is the closest to Nibali but is a massive 57.15 behind the Italian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
