Well roche did try and get involved in a breakaway early but unfortunately he had been dropped by the peloton after just 20 kms and with 3 climbs left including 2 x Hors category climbs its going to be a major struggle to stay in the top 20 now.
Big group of good riders have got away on the first climb including Wiggins, Armstrong, Vinokourov, Horner, Kreugizer and Charteau. Nearly have a minute on the yellow.
