Gotta love the commentators comment now. If EBH is in a break, He's the man to beat. If Sagan is in a break, he's the man to beat. If GVA is in a break, hes the man to beat,. Robbie chips in and says if your in a break with any of the guys in this break they are the rider to beat.

Gruppetto driving now, with Katusha on the front.

Katusha left it too late.. it will be on them and them alone to chase it down.. the other teams have riders in the break..

It's been left completely up to them now. No other teams seem to be helping.

 

The gap is now up to 6'35".

 

96 km to go.

98km remaining from 197km

Upfront the break is working together but not everyone is doing full turns.

 

Bold are my guesses as to who is not doing full turns.

Gruppetto backing down again. Looks like Sky has put their foot down and is not going to chase the break down.

It's not up to them today ha ha ha.. Katusha were caught napping.

Yip, the age-old problem with a big break - there are always going to be passengers. Which is why a big break is often caught. 

 

The best number for everyone to be working hard and making it very difficult for a chasing bunch to close the gap is 6 - 8 riders (or thereabouts).

 

The guys who are doing all the work are going to get pissed soon enough. And then we'll start to see the break attacking each other.

And as I said that Cavanel does a turn .. a very brief turn

 

Must say.. great seeing him on the screens I like him too.

 

I like so many riders.

If they are the only team chasing, i dont think the will be able to close that gap

 

Katusha Has given up the chase
