As the large early break away started up the final climb of the day, the Col de la Loze, riders began to drop off the back of the group. Matthew Dinham (DSM-firmenich) was the next to slip away. There is no shame in dropping away from the front group of the hardest stage of the Tour on the way up to the highest point of this Tour de France. After all, he has been in the front group for roughly 140 kilometers with three high category climbs thus far.
