Job Done
Team Sky has been so powerful on each and every climb of the Dauphine. They have hit the bottom of every climb with 4 or 5 guys in front of Chris Froome's (Team Sky) Malliot Jeune. They set a relentless pace thinning out the peloton to as few riders as possible. Then as each Sky teammate pops, he will swing off and try to finish the climb as best they can. That is exactly what David Lopez (Team Sky) has just done, he is radioing the team car to let them know he has done his job and can't do anymore. So he slides away as the rear of the peloton tries to hang onto the continued pace of his teammates.
