Passing through Bédoin, climb starts just out of town.
All the heads of state are in the mj group, the breakaway is 5’ ahead.

Thanks, commish. Schlecks expected to attack when they hit the 1st steep section.
The teams were like well-oiled machines this AM, delivered the top 10 to the bottom of Ventoux right where they needed to be.
Cavendish, Millar dropped away.
10km to go.

ACK! Via velonews' feed:
Greg Lemond has been spotted up on Mont Ventoux near the Simpson monument.
I wonder if he'll heckle Lance & Alberto about VO2.
