Another long breakaway, but this time it sticks! At least for one rider. This may well be the biggest time gap we see for a break this year since the move consisted of some very strong riders. Unfortunately all the coverage seems to start once the stage has been...

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. ...

A straight forward sprinters stage today (early break that gets caught a few km’s from the finish…or does it). I bet the breakaway boys were hoping for more than just the two of them! Kittel would typically produce around 1800 watts peak during the final...
