Not Giving Up PN25-5
With the peloton just seconds behind the breakaway changed quickly. First the Polka Dot Jersey of Alexandre Delettre sat up and went back into the field having achieved his objective for the day fifty kilometers ago. Next Samuel Fernandez attacked Jonas Abrahamsen (Uno X-Moblity) in a bid to be the most aggressive rider on the day. He must not have remembered Abrahamsen's exploits in last year's Tour de France. The Norwegian caught and dropped his erstwhile companion and road off on his own with another 51 kilometers to race. The peloton didn't catch him until just two and a half kilometers to go.
