WARNING, I talk about today's stage, so if you don't want to know anything about what happened don't read any further.
I read that a rider was overtaken by the peleton 2.5 KM from the finish, after leading for 200KM, or something along those lines. I can understand where a group of five or six riders might have a chance against the peleton, but how can one or two guys out pace the peleton on a flat stage? Are these guys just trying to get coverage, or are they seriously trying to win the stage?
