Today had a six man break that went almost from the very beginning of the stage. It was the second group to form and seemed to be the one the peloton was going to let run free. Naturally, they were the first to reach the intermediate sprint in Veynes. The sprint wasn't going to change the destination of the Maillot Vert, but every sprint carries a cash prize as well. It was Nils Politt (Israel Start-Up Nation) that looked over his shoulder just to make sure that the sprint was his. This is the first Tour for this relatively new team, and this was the first Tour prize that they have claimed. Chapeau!
