Tinkoff has been having a fabulous Tour de France, unless of course you want to count the withdrawal of their start, Alberto Contador. Other than that they are currently holding both the Maillot Vert and the Maillot a Pois. Today Peter Sagan (Tinkoff) went of on a long break away with 10 other riders including his teammate Rafal Majka. Sagan went out for 150 kilometers just to be the first to cross the intermediate sprint point first in Hautville Lompnes. He really needn't have bothered, is closest rival for the green jersey was Mark Cavendish (Dimension Data) who left the race today to finish his preparations for the Summer Olympics in Rio. On the World Champion's wheel is the King of the Mountains, Rafal Majka. Now he had a bigger to be in this break away, defending his lead in the competition for the Polka Dot Jersey of the King of the Mountain competition. With Sagan's help, the break has already put over ten minutes between themselves and the peloton containing the Maillot Jaune.
