John Herety

Stage Four Guingamp - Lesneve
A break of 33 formed in the early part of the stage, with Rapha Condor Recycling.co.uk watching the yellow jersey and hot favorite Lars Boom, both from Rabobank, and as so far in the race they have proved to be by far the strongest.

With two of their teammates in the break neither one of them reacted to this group going away, Rapha Condor Recycling.co.uk being one of only three teams not represented in the break.

Rapha Condor Recycling.co.uk Team Manager John Herety said; "The lead built up very quickly and we had no chance to try and correct our mistake, trying to chase a group that size would of been fruitless anyway. With most teams represented the bunch switched of and we had to endure a long, long, day.

At stage end the the bunch came in 26 minutes down.

Looking toward stage five, Herety remarked; "Oh well, maybe they'll let a break go tomorrow now, with the time trial on Wednesday the leaders will want to conserve there energy for that. Just got to make sure were up for it."

There was a change in the general classification which is now led by Julien Antomarchi (FRA LPM).
