Director’s report from Lionel Marie:
Today was not as good of a day as yesterday’s almost-win by David Millar! We decided to be aggressive today except for our TT specialists David, Svein Tuft and Dan Martin, who needed to save their energy for the Ventoux!
It was very fast from the start. Steven Cozza was in the first serious break, our other guys tried also but no luck.
The final break left without us and there were not a lot of other opportunities, so a bit disappointing. But tomorrow is the 42 kilometer TT and Thursday is the famous Mont Chauve, so keep watching!
