Once again we have the familiar scenario of a break going early and the bunch maintaining tempo in order to catch them with 10-20km to go. See my blog post on Stage 4 to look at the kind of effort (in terms of power) these guys do both in the bunch and in the break.  ...

Well, pretty much everything that was said might happen on the cobbles did! Maybe Dave Brailsford should have taken Wiggins! The bigger riders had their day today with power being more important than power to weight. Riders with high power outputs over the VO2max...
