    I'm surprised at Thomas doing that.

    Sorry but you obviously have a higher opinion of him than I do.

    Strong 6 man break, peloton unlikely to give them a big gap

    Carlton has been relaxed so far.. even with EBH in the break. Plenty of time for him to lose it though

    Gap kept below 3mins, average speed so far nearly 52km/hr

    The break could actually get swallowed on the first pavé if the position battle hots up

    Peloton realised they didn't want a new break battle so promptly gave them another 45"

    If successive days' breaks contain one rider, one rider, two riders, then three riders...

    ... Is that a Fibianchi sequence?


    Yes, but by stage 13 there won't be enough riders to fill the break.
