Paris Nice Stage 3: A Predictable Group

This is a truly predictable trio to go off on a break away.  All three have won stages and made names for themselves in just this manner.  Most notably is Thomas Voeckler (Europcar) whose breaks have put him in Yellow in the Tour de France for extended periods on two different occasions.  Philippe Gilbert (BMC) now wears the Rainbow bands of a former World Road Race Champion, a title he won on a long break, and the final member of the trio is Florian Vachon (Bretagne Seche) whose team has had a representative in every break of this year's Race to the Sun.
