Breakaway Suceeds (barely)

Almost done with the flat stages for now. Soon the real fun starts. It seems there is always one stage every tour where a breakaway succeeds. Today was that one. It is probably the only way to keep Cavendish from winning the final sprint.
Way to go Thomas Voeckler. His first stage victory in the tour.
I am disappointed so far with Denis Menchov. Doesn't look like he will make the podium as I predicted before the race, but there is a long way to Paris, so I will stick with my picks for now.
