Maybe harsh, but it just seems weird with their total domination of every stage race leading up to the TdF for the past years, and their fighting talk, that they're non-existent so far this year (Green Mountain aside).

 

The Tour is only in July...

Other teams are also responding to Skyborg's dominance.

 

It's gonna be one helluva season at this rate.

STAGE 6:

75 kms to go

 

The break's advantage reached a maximum of 5:30 after 45 kilometres, before the pace finally began to pick up in the main peloton. The gap dropped to three minutes at the midway point but has crept back up in the last 15 kilometres or so, and now stands at 4:10.

The Tinkoff-Saxo team of race leader Alberto Contador was controlling affairs at the head of the peloton, but understandably happy to give the break its head, given that the highest man on the overall standings, Steve Morabito, is almost 20 minutes off Alberto Contador's blue jersey.

The break includes a four-man group featuring Peter Kennaugh (Sky), Steve Morabito (BMC), Jack Bauer (Garmin-Sharp) and Cesare Benedetti (NetApp-Endura)

Vincent Jerome (Europcar) was initially part of the early break, but the Frenchman was distanced on that first climb of the day, which was precisely where Benedetti managed to bridge across.

There were two other non-starters on today's stage: Jens Mouris (Orica-GreenEdge) and Jesse Sergent (Trek Factory). Sergent is reported to be suffering from an infected ingrown toe nail.

The pace is beginning to ratchet up in the peloton as the race approaches Porto Sant'Elpidio for the first time. Kennaugh, Bauer, Benedetti and Morabito's lead is now down to 2:44.

The four leaders have turned inland from the Adriatic coast and are riding towards the foot of the day's final categorised climb.
