This is the big one fans have been waiting for since the first Tour of California, The Mountaintop Finish. It only took a few years and a change of date to make it happen. Let's hope it brings exciting racing and that other events don't eclipse what should be one of the biggest days in the race's history.
Live video at 23:00 CEST (02:00 PM US PDT, 07:00 AUS EST)

so schlecklet's in the break. ~5 minutes ahead of the peloton.
other breakaway-ers are:
Hincapie, Fulsang, Rabou, Crane, Wilson, Hunter, Clement and McCartney
"Ants don’t worry, they operate like a fantastic team, they accept obstacles and deal with them in a positive manner, they don’t complain and remain positive. An ant doesn’t work on emotion, is proactive and always chooses the ant role."
Go Schlecklet!
I still don't really know what happened--but I'll take it!--Richie Porte, on Stage 11
'bout time Schlecket did something.
And he’s got Fuglsang (also a non-entity so far this year) to help him. This stage just got more interesting.
i wish we could get some video
i want to see what kind of hurt HTC is putting on the peloton right now.
"Ants don’t worry, they operate like a fantastic team, they accept obstacles and deal with them in a positive manner, they don’t complain and remain positive. An ant doesn’t work on emotion, is proactive and always chooses the ant role."
Hopefully a lot
That is a pretty lofty group they let go up the road

Is Rabou getting all of the KOM points?
Seems he’s going to easily clinch that competition today.

i think he's gotten enough so far to take the jersey.
"Ants don’t worry, they operate like a fantastic team, they accept obstacles and deal with them in a positive manner, they don’t complain and remain positive. An ant doesn’t work on emotion, is proactive and always chooses the ant role."
He's finished first on at least 4 of the 5 KOM spots, according to the tracker
None of the other KOM contenders are in the break, so I’m sure Rabou has it wrapped up.

what was the background they gave on him a few days ago, anyone know?
Oh, is that it? They were saying something about him on the day that he won
the Breakaway from Cancer jersey, that must be it.
Battle within the Battle for the young rider classification
1. Sagan
2. Stetina +16
Both are in lead group.

He was pretty underwhelming in the Romandie TT.
Compared to his sprinting and climbing anyway. It’s all relative when you’re that talented.
30th place at Romandie...
To make it relative, he was 1’07 behind Mick Rogers in that TT but all TTs are different

Longer by ten k but if all he is worried about is the white jersey then he shouldn't be too bad...
Stetina has had a trying year so far in the TT, especially compared to Sagan
