Bonus Posted August 28, 2016 Author Posted August 28, 2016 AV is a definate contender - but he's having to do a lot of "peloton-pulling" at the moment.
Winstonian1984 Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 Anyone know if we have coverage of Bretagne Classic today, or where I can stream it? Sagan has signed in.. ready to race .

'Dale Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 STAGE 9 There's not a cloud in the sky today and the temperature has risen since yesterday. There's very little in the way of wind to cool down the ride
'Dale Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 We'll had at least one non-starter today in Igor Anton. The Spanish rider has been suffering with stomach problems for the past couple of days.
'Dale Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 Today's stage started off to a tricky and hilly start as the road goes up almost immediately, which is why Contador and many others were on the rollers this afternoon.
'Dale Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 Some early breakaway effort was unsuccessful but there's now a group of 12 riders with a small gap on the peloton.
'Dale Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 ???????????? We're only just over 10km into the stage but we've got our first abandon of the day. Enrico Battaglin, who was involved in a crash earlier in the week, has climbed off. He's the second LottoNL-Jumbo rider to quit.
'Dale Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 10 kms in and there's a break! So here it is, the list of riders out front: Simon Clarke. (Cannondale-Drapac), Dylan Teuns (BMC), Alexandre Geniez (FDJ), Jan Bakelants (AG2R La Mondiale), De Gendt (Lotto-Soudal), David de la Cruz (Etixx-QuickStep), Luis Leon Sanchez (Astana), Moreno Moser (Cannondale-Drapac), Mathias Frank (IAM Cycling), Dries Devenyns (IAM Cycling), Bartosz Huzarski (Bora Argon 18), Pello Bilbao (Caja Rural).
'Dale Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 That's a very strong move up there and, for now, the peloton is keeping them at close quarters. Just 32 seconds for the 12 escapees.
'Dale Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 While teams such as Movistar, Sky and TInkoff seem happy to let this one go, Trek is frustrated with missing the move and the American outfit is chasing at the moment.
'Dale Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 Dimension Data is also helping Trek with the chase, although the 12 riders in the lead now have an advantage of 46 seconds.
'Dale Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 It appears Trek and Dimension Data have accepted defeat. The gap is going up much quicker now and currently stands at two minutes
'Dale Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 The latest time check has the escapees at 3:14, which makes David de la Cruz the virtual leader. The Etixx rider is just 2:46 down in the overall classification. In normal circumstances that would mean the break was doomed but Movistar seemed pretty eager to get rid of the jersey to avoid spending too much energy. They may try to do the same today.
