Less of a Threat
The first break away of the day was quickly brought back into the peloton, mainly because Orica-GreenEdge and Daryl Impey wanted to gain more points for his Sprinter's Jersey. Once he had crossed the line almost ensuring his standing on the podium at the end of the Tour, this group slid off the front while the peloton regrouped. While this is a strong group of riders, Peter Kennaugh (Sky), Lars Boom (Astana), Lars Bak (Lotto Soudal) Christopher Juul Jensen (Tinkoff Saxo) and Alex Howes (Cannondale Garmin), none of them represented a threat to any of the leader's jerseys. With only the sprinters needing to chase the group down, they were in with a chance of taking the break all of the way to the line.
