Gregory Daniel (Axeon Hagens Berman), bedecked in the bright blue jersey of most courageous rider from his efforts in Stage 3, showed no signs of being star struck. The young American launched his attack on the penultimate climb of the day. He looked back over his shoulder to confirm that not only was he the first over the climb, but he had dropped the rest of the members of the break. With just 5 miles left to race on the longest stage of the Tour, he was hoping to hold off the break and the closing peloton.
