On the Radio
Modern technology being what it is all of the riders now have two way radios that allow them to talk with the team car and with each other for that matter. Chris Froome (Team Sky) is checking in with the team car to see what they should do about the 15 man break away up the road. The teammate right in front of him seems to be radioing his opinion on the matter. Right behind the team of Alberto Contador, Tinkoff Saxo is on the radio as well, perhaps checking to see if there is another good spot for Contador to attack Froome as he did in Stage 5. The other pass time in the peloton, eating to keep up one's energy, a hard task considering the 6,000 calories these guys well burn in a single typical stage of racing.
