Stage 14 Results

A big day for wannabe_scattista, who started the day already high up on GC at 9th, and picked the two biggest breakaway scorers with Sanchez and Sagan. Honorable mention also to dsallsopp , who also had two of the key riders in the break with Sanchez and Casar. But it's wannabe_scattista who takes the solo stage win, and also takes over the casquette jaune from long time leader andrewp. The 14 point lead is the largest yet, but well within reach with 6 stages still to go.

wannabe_scattista also takes a narrower lead in the mountains competition. The majority of DS's still hold their "Queen Stage" cards to double their points on either stage 16 or 17.
