On Their Way Up
On the heels of a most difficult first stage in the Pyrennes, today the peloton set out to conquer to of the infamous climbs of the Tour. This break of Thomas Voeckler (Europcar), Serge Pauwels (MTN-Qhubeka), Rafal Majka (Tinkoff Saxo) and Emanuel Buchman (Bora-Argon 18) amongst others were the first to hit the lower slopes of the Col d'Aspin. Voeckler was hoping to repeat some of his earlier career exploits where he has escaped the peloton and gone on to solo for a victory. Having Majka along might make that a little more difficult to achieve.
