Two stages in, and it's all been British so far. i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/wiggle.png Luke Rowe winning both stages, ahead of i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/rapha.png Adam Blythe both times - to the great annoyance of i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/milka.png Milka, who built the leadout both times.

A hattrick will be tough though, as we hit the hills.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir3-1.jpg

Favourites for today include i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/hollister.png Betancourt, i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/ferrari.png Sagan and i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/wikipedia.png McCarthy. But theres also 3 of our leading GC contenders. McCarthy's teammate i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/wikipedia.png Pinot, plus i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/calgiant.png Eastman and i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/wiggle.png Scarponi.

We've got an early KoM to encourage some attacks from the start, and the rider who woke up feeling the strongest was clearly i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/oz-1.png Luke Durbridge.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir3-2.jpg

i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/ferrari.png Guillemois takes 2nd, with i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/armavia.png Zhilenko 3rd.

And from this, a breakaway forms. Joining those 3 are
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/spyker.png Viennet
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/GER.png Schachtner
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/saab.png Nehoray
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/bo.png Navarro
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/focus.png Jungels
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/eb.png Albourdainy
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/bo.png Quaade

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir3-3.jpg

They proceed to be joined by
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/Rothaus.png Vesely
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/milka.png Reinhardt

And immediately Reinhardt takes the 1st intermediate sprint. Another 2nd for Guillemois, and indeed, another 3rd for Zhilenko!

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir3-4.jpg

And 2 more for the breakaway - bringing it up to 14
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/Meiji.png Hayakawa
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/GB.png Gee

Theres some drama in the peloton too, as i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/bo.png Kwiatkowski crashes. He gets back easily though.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir3-5.jpg

Jungels takes the 2nd sprint - ahead of Reinhardt and Quaade

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir3-6.jpg

And then it is back to the KoM sprints. Guillemois finally figures out how to win a sprint prime, beating Viennet and Durbridge.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir3-7.jpg

Durbridge is 3rd again on the next climb, but this time it is behind Reinhardt and Jungels. As a result, Guillemois and Durbridge share the KoM lead with 9 points.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir3-8.jpg

That was the hardest climb of the day, but still the peloton are all together - 56 strong. This includes Navarro, who had been dropped by the break.

Firmly in charge are i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/wikipedia.png Wikipedia with pre-stage favourite McCarthy on the front! No doubts that Pinot is their man then.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir3-9.jpg

The breakaway group lead the peloton by 1'30 with 28km to go.

But thats not the gap to the leader, i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/milka.png Reinhardt is pushing on.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir3-10.jpg

By 20km to go, all of the break except Reinhardt have been caught. And as the capture happens, we have attacks. It's non other than i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/hollister.png Betancourt - the rider with the best hill stat in the race. i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/Rothaus.png Scheit follows.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir3-11.jpg

The move doesnt stick, as Reinhardt pushes his lead up to nearly 2 minutes!

Betancourt tries again though, this time followed by i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/ferrari.png Sagan and i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/calgiant.png Eastman.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir3-12.jpg

The gap to Reinhardt now falls, but no move is getting clear. i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/oz-1.png Bennett gives it a go

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir3-13.jpg

But as we head onto the descent with 7km to go, it is i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/bo.png Kwiatkowski who has emerged from the peloton to try and cross the ever-reducing gap to Reinhardt.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir3-14.jpg

McCarthy still leads the peloton into the last 5 kilometres. Just 35 riders left. Blythe has been dropped, but race leader Rowe remains.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir3-15.jpg

Kwiatkowski and Reinhardt are caught together with 3km to go, but the Polish rider is still trying - launching an early sprint.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir3-16.jpg

He soon has a new German for company though - i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/GER.png Dieteren - while i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/Meiji.png Shikai, i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/festina.png Landa and still, McCarthy are all closing in too.

Ominously, Luke Rowe isnt far away!

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir3-17.jpg

But it is Landa, Dieteren, Shikai and i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/focus.png Skujins who have a gap with 1200 metres to go.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir3-18.jpg

Luke Rowe seems to be blocked in here, which will cost him

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir3-19.jpg

Its Skujins vs Landa!

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir3-20.jpg

Skujins edges in front ... but is that a 3rd wheel on the far right?

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir3-21.jpg

Yes it is. And with a huge finish, i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/ferrari.png Peter Sagan takes the stage!

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/avenir3-22.jpg

2nd for Skujins while Landa badly fades - allowing i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/Rothaus.png Scheit to take 3rd place on the line, edging out i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/festina.png Kennaugh and i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/wiggle.png Scarponi.

Luke Rowe remains the race leader, but could only managed 28th on the stage. Either blocked in or exhausted after dragging himself over the hills. With Blythe out of it, Sagan now moves up to 2nd, and Skujins is 3rd.
