Two our of three riders in the break which went on to contest the sprint for the stage win at the finish in Gap means that Garmin-Cervélo has scored big time on two fronts: Thor Hushovd won a stage for the second time, with the help of Ryder Hesjedal who finished third, and as Tom Danielson remained in the group that contained many title favorites – to help defend his place in the top 10 overall – the team has won the stage as a collective as well. The different is also significant: 4’57” better than the next-best, Sky.
While the overall seemed destined to go to Leopard-Trek the Luxembourg-registered team is now second 7’01” behind the US-registered squad while Europcar is third at 8’14”. The gaps are growing...!
