Somehow, Mads Pedersen nor any of his Lidl-Trek teammates made the very large breakaway today. He helped to form another break of about 26 riders, and with was mainly his effort, the two groups came together before the intermediate sprint. The sprint came late in this the longest Tour de France stage this year, so he had plenty of time to set things to rights. He chased because is primary rival for the Maillot Vert was in that front group. Downside, he pulled his other rival along with him. Once merging to the two groups, he rode up to the front to see just who was were. He found Fred Wright (Pinarello-Q36.5) in his new British Champion's Jersey, along with Julian Alaphilippe (Tudor Pro Cycling) and Raul Garcia Pierna (Movistar) on the front of the now very, very large escape. With fifty-six guys in the front, it wasn't much smaller than the peloton that was now just shy of seven minutes back down the road. I think it is safe to say, that today will be a day for the breakaway.
