The first week of the Tour de France is not only known for crashes and stupid tactics among riders in the breakaway, but it's also when the riders' bodies are still adjusting their metabolisms to match their caloric and fluid intake with their power output. In the second and third weeks, you don't hear much about "natural breaks," except for individual riders getting caught out of the peloton, but in the first week, everyone takes advantage of the pitstop.
