feedzones on breaks

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

If a break was away say 5 minutes do they get food at the feedzone? or do they skip it because it slows them down? but don't they need the food?

If they are in a break they can be handed food from the team car which will be behind them until the gap comes down to under a minute.
