Coming down the back side of the first much smaller climb of the day these three got a jump on the larger break away behind. The only Canadian in the Tour, Antoine Duchesne (Direct Energie) looks back over his shoulder to see if there were others coming across. David Navarro (Cofidis) risks a quick peek as well. While Matti Breschel (Cannondale-Drapac) just keeps pushing this legs around. I guess he figured that the actions of the other two would give him the information he needed. This trio (and all of the peloton) are cheered nearly every kilometer of the road by enthusiastic fans along the way.
