Two Away
After two days of high mountain climbs, cold rain, snow the racers were blessed with sunshine and a relatively flat stage. However they spent the day in pretty stiff winds, most of them headwinds. I went out for a ride myself and hit very stiff head winds, too, and you end of working as hard as you can yet feel like you are barely moving. Even with those conditions a large break got away, with these two, Marcus Burghardt (BMC) and Georg Preidler (Giant Shimano) slipping off of the larger group trying to beat the odds and the peloton.
