The traditional early break formed piece by piece, eventually building to nine riders. The initial break was formed by the Dutchman, Pascal Eenkhoorn. Some of those that joined him can be seen in this painting including Gregory Daniel (USA), Mahdi Rajabikabodchesmeh (Iran), Bryan Gomez (Columbia), Amanuel Gebrezgabihier (Eritrea) and the Irishman Michael O'Loughlin. At this point over 100 kilometers into the race, the break was starting to attack each other, while others like the Irani rider were struggling with leg cramps and the oppressive hear. Most of the attacking was coming from O'Loughlin, seems like he was fulfilling an old stereotype.
