Does anyone knows the altimetria of the last climb tomorrow?

I don´t think it will be easy, but, the only chance is to detonate the peloton in the beginning... The problem is that what we see, and that is the truth, sky is stonger, the put a tempo and normaly came back from a attack, and then that rider suffers... So i just see something going right if...

Re: Re: That is my point, in the last 5 years besides 2014 when Froome crashed is always the same... Teams wait anda wait and prefer to defend a 4th place or a 5 th place then try to win. Come on guys, if you don´t try youll never know, tomorrow last climbs suit better climbers because it´s...

Re: This is the main point to me... Movistar as a great team to mountains, and i´m saying this every year... If you want to beat Froome you have to put him isolated... In the last two climbs Soler and Amador has to try drop the sky train, even if they drop too... Then it´s up to Landa and...

Re: Giro d'Italia 2018 stage 16: Trento – Rovereto 34.2 km I I think some of you guys are crazy... In a flat TT even in fantastic shape Yates is going to loose minimum of 1.30 minutos to Dumoulin. In my opinion it´s going to be 2 m. to 2.30 mn. Yates can be in the shape of his life, but it´s...

Re: Re: That was my first thought when i read the notice about Froome. And it was sad for me, and i believe for him( Contador)... Some people can argue that Nibali was 2nd., and in fact it was, but wthout team sky it would have been a diferent game, without them Contador attacks had produced...

I would keep landa and quintana to the tour at 100%. Froome cant be at 100% at the tour after the giro and it is this year the best chance to his adversarys to win.

I think so he will go for the Tour. Best chance for him, and Froome is going to have a heavy duty Giro so it make sense he tries to beat a Froome with less rest in the Tour. With the improvment Tom is showing i don´t know if he isn´t a real favorite to the win, but Froome is still the nº1 favorite.

First of all, i think without crashes Froome will easily wind the vuelta. Everything goes arround that if we think. Some are saying that is a strong field and so on, but the truth is that is a strong field for a top 5 or top 10, winning is much diferent. There is a line that separe doing a...

Re: You know i have think of that for the last days. Two years ago many point the finger to a weak Contador in The tour, after a super dificult Giro. Contador had that time 32?33?... So he has 1+5 places. With 27 years Quintana has a 2º, and maybe 10, 11º places... This must mean something...

I am following all the race until now, and even if Berto is my favorite rider i think that he will no win this tour or even make a podium. Maybe a top 5. He looks like he just is able to follow and with accelarations he is dropped and try to hang on and rode is one tempo. To me is sad, but i...

Re: Re: I Know that is majority to the Tour, but they monopolize this race, and with so strong domestiques the other riders have affraid of attack because they are burning energy for being caught by one of them. This year if Froome win the Tour i think they will send a strong team too into...

Great ride by Porte, he looks too strong, but i don´t know if he dind´t peak too soon, or if he´s able to be consistent in the all 3 weeks. This time he lost because he dind´t have a team, and even in the tour i doubt he will have one strong enough.

I don´t like Oleg, but one thing i agree with him, Sky kills this sport. They really are too strong as a team. They catch all they can as domestiques, some of the best of other teams. This way they are almost imbatible in the tour.

Re: Re: Yes the team in the Tour will be stronger, but they don´t have even 1 guy at the level of the 4 top domestiques of the Sky train. I hope at least they protect well Richie before the mountains, where he is by far inferior to a guy like froome.
