Hunter Allen, coach of Daniel Lloyd (GBR) will do daily analysis of Daniel Lloyd's Data during this year's Tour de France. More information about Hunter and is company The Peaks Coaching Group check www.PeaksCoachingGroup.com Hunter is the co-author of the book, "Training and Racing with a Power Meter".

Too bad we missed the rest of the stage, but Daniel is correct in that the most interesting part of the file was near the beginning. I would imagine that he just rode tempo in the groupetto on the rest of the climbs. Exciting that he got in a few breakaways today, but probably best that the ones he was in didn't succeed as he needs to save energy for the rest of the stages.

"Only got the first part of today's stage as I think the battery ran out on the hub after that" said Daniel Lloyd. "The first part was the most interesting anyway as it took 90km's today for the break to go. I got into a couple of moves in that time but missed the one that eventually stayed away. The rest of the stage was tempo as I went into the groupetto on the last climb, nice downhill from there to the finish!"

I am estimating Daniel's TSS at 280 for the stage, since the length of it and amount of climbing involved.
