Another day in the Massif Central with a nice, fast finish.
TdF ping. Let me know if you want on/off the list.
Not much going on yet. One failed escape, now a solo w/ a 5 sec lead. Peleton has split - about 50 in the Group Malliot Jaune w/ 40 sec over the rest. Closing on half way through this short stage. Solo guy was caught as I typed...
On the back side of the first Cat 2. Peleton back together, but a group of 4 with about a 1 1/2 min lead as they approach the base of the Puy Mary.
Didn’t come online until just now.
Got to view most of the race. Man, were there ever some great parts.
Nice solo breakaway by Sanchez right at the end. Keeping a break that starts w/ 5km to go is not an easy task.
