I can't believe that Norwegian kid had the legs to go again today after hammering out a 2nd place yesterday. Hesjedal and Hushvold didn't look like they had anything in the tank today but he had the legs to break away and then on the climb destroy the 14 man breakaway.
I don't really think today had any major consequence for Voeckler in the long run. If he breaks over the next couple days, twenty something seconds will mean nothing because the gaps are going to be huge with 3 HC climbs tomorrow. Hopefully he can stick with the leaders tomorrow or even attack himself though.
