'Dale Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 The chasing group has broken up on the Col de la Forclaz, the second climb of the day, with Rolland, Navarro and Huzarski among those bridging up to the leaders. The peloton with the principal overall contenders is almost four minutes back.
Bianchisti Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Daniel Teklehaimanot, incidentally, led over the summit of the Tamié to buttress his advantage in the king of the mountains classification. He began the day with a sixteen-point lead over Nibali in the standings.Whats install for him today to secure that jersey? Any threats in the mountain competition in this break? Or highest placed threats Nibali? Wondering how long he has to stay up front in the break today to save his jersey.
'Dale Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 At the top of the Forclaz, there were 18 riders in the leading group with an advantage of 4:15 over the main peloton, which contains Nibali, Rui Costa, Valverde, Froome and van Garderen.
'Dale Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Dani Navarro (Cofidis) is the best-placed rider on general classification in the break. The Spaniard began the day 5:44 off Nibali's maillot jaune.
'Dale Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 The peloton remains 4:15 down on the leaders as they approach the village of Alex, some ten kilometres from the base of the day's third ascent, the category 1 Col de la Croix Fry (11.3km at 7%).
'Dale Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Awesome!!! Teklehaimanot also led over the Forclaz to further extend his advantage in the king of the mountains competition. Approaching the foot of the Croix Fry, the Eritrean and his breakaway companions have a lead of four minutes over the peloton.

'Dale Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Some more riders from the chasing group have managed to battle their way back up to the leaders before they begin the ascent of the Croix Fry, and letour.fr reports that there are now 23 riders at the head of the race. David De La Cruz (Etixx-QuickStep) is among them and the Spaniard is now the virtual leader of the race, as he began the day 3:13 down on Nibali.
