Breakaway
By David Fiedler, About.com Guide
Riders who break away from the peloton add much of the excitement and drama to the race.
David Millar of Great Britain and the Saunier Duval team formed an early breakaway with Yaroslav Popovych of the Ukraine and the Discovery Channel Team during stage 18 of the 2006 Tour de France between Morzine-Avoriaz and Macon, France on July 21, 2006.
