Tour Mediterraneen stage 5

1 Thibaut Pinot (FDJ)
2 Blel Kadri (AG2R La Mondiale)
3 Vincent Jérôme (Europcar)
2,20 is the gap now?
!!!!

Pinot Hits top of the climb with the points, the rest still not there yet!

Nizzolo has abandoned

Its all kicking off at the front, "Puncture in the breakaway Jean-Marc Marino (Sojasun).
4:11 p.m.
Giacomo Nizzolo (RadioShack Leopard) abandons."

Pierre-Luc Perichon is dropped!

Both riders are dropped from the breakaway Theo Vimpère (BigMat-Auber 93) and André Greipel (Lotto-Belisol).

Vimpere and Greipel dropped from the break, but Vimpere did his job

Gap just 1.30 now, thinking it will all come back together before the end

Roy going well for me

At least 10 points for my normal team with Vimpere He has toped the 1st mountain and that should wrap up him the mountains Jersey

Résultat de la côte des Tullières (1ère catégorie) :
1 Théo Vimpère (BigMat-Auber 93)
2 Jérémy Roy (FDJ)
3 Thibaut Pinot (FDJ)
4 Pierre-Luc Perichon (Bretagne-Séché Environnement)
5 Blel Kadri (AG2R La Mondiale)

I took Roy out

I have 3 in the break from my normal team, hoping Vimpere has got some more mountain points, but its my purist team I need to do well with

Still hoping it comes together for a Roelandts win!

Ah I see
Jérémy Roy (FDJ) yellow jersey is "virtual". He is 1'30'' Monfort overall. (See for the bad translation)

Read this

Breakaway points only really apply to classics where there aren't any sprint or KoM points on offer.

"Being in a breakaway
10 points for each rider in a breakaway of ten riders or less that's more than one minute ahead of the peloton at the halfway stage in a race"

10 Points for each rider in a breakaway of under 10 I think, thats what it says in the rules I think

Too many in the group now for any breakaway points

this group

Jérôme, Kern (Europcar), Kadri (AG2R La Mondiale), Roy, Pinot (FDJ), Zingle (Cofidis), Wyss (BMC), Jungels (Radioshack Leopard), Greipel (Lotto), Petrov (Saxo Tinkoff), Izaguirre (Euskatel), Keizer (Vacansoleil), Marino (Sojasun), Perichon (Bretagne Séché), Vimpère (BigMat Auber 93), Sella, Facchini (Androni)

has 2 mins 10 after 65km

Not looking good for my purist team now

Dodgy google translate but it looks like this at the front,
Location of the course:

In mind: a group of 17 riders with Jerome Kern (Europcar), Kadri (AG2R La Mondiale), Roy, Pinot (FDJ), Zingle (Cofidis), Wyss (BMC), Jungels (Radioshack Leopard), Greipel (Lotto) Petrov (Saxo Tinkoff), Izaguirre (Euskaltel) Keizer (Vacansoleil), Marino (Sojasun) Perichon (Bretagn

1 min 50 now after 58km I believe

3 min 10 seconds now the gap

Live ticker is at :-

(in French)

I think this group may be a minute ahead of the peleton

Voeckler, Malacarne (Europcar), Montaguti, Kadri (AG2R La Mondiale), Molard (Cofidis), Hondo (Radioshack Leopard), Greipel (Lotto Belisol), Pires (Saxo Tinkoff), Jeandesboz (Sojasun), Chavez Rubio (Colombia), Chiarini, Rosa (Androni) et Roy (FDJ)

Need a solo breakaway win for Voeckler to win the purist, come to Tommy V

Edet and Roux have climbed off now

8 non starters I believe

Yoann Bagot (Cofidis), Steve Morabito (BMC), Olivier Zaugg (Saxo Tinkoff), Moreno Hofland (Blanco), Lukasz Owsian (CCC Polsat), Antoine Lavieu, Yoann Paillot (La Pomme Marseille), Guillaume Faucon (BigMat Auber 93)
