Greig Leach

Pierre Rolland (EF Education First) left the lead break away group in the valley, just after the feed zone. There is some controversary that he attacked as his breakaway companions were rooting through their musettes. Rolland jumped free and went up the Lacets de Montvernier on his own. He was on a campaign to repeat his stage win atop the Alpe d'Huez. Problem is he has another big challenge of the Col de la Croix Fer before he even reaches the base of d'Huez.
