After having been thwarded in his first attempt at a break away, and on the climb of the Zikhron Ya'Agov, Guillaume Boivin (Israel Cycling Academy) went off the front of the peloton again. With over 37 kilometers left to the line in Tel Aviv, it was perhaps a fool hardy effort. But for the team, it was a chance to show their colors to the Israeli fans along the roads, and the millions watching around the world. Again, it was unlikely that the ProTour teams sprinter's were going to let a lone attack succeed.
