so Froome's afraid of attacks on the 1st ascent. he doesn't want to chase on the descent. he is terified of the thought that he may loose this. well that's the pressure he has to cope with. if it's dangerous, then it's dangerous for everyone. fighting the elements is part of the sport

not extreme at all. i say make him work his *** off to loose the time he lost today (he explodes and the other teams take over to defend their positions). Then imagine froome's condition tomorrow, the day after that, and the week to come. Then the mj is 2.5min closer...

question remains why didn;t they make froome work?

ok, so what were they pulling for? i thought that sky was the team loosing under the circumstances. so sky had to pull to bring the break back. the other teams could have waited for sky and Froome to die first. that would create a more open field for the stages to come. well this i find hard...

this and to have a full picture pls someone explain why BMC saved the mj today. I wonder whAT is sky ds gonna pay for today's phonecalls.

Nairo is building his career. He will ride for his leader and try to get a stage if the occasion permits. Froome will attack the tt;s and defend on most (especially if isolated like today) of the other stages. Movistar, Saxo, Belkin, JRod have to attack. If they won't, it's only Froome's Tour to...

Nairo is at the Tour as a helper. He did his job nicely as he made Sky work early and could still help his leader up the last climb. Gesink actually tried to do the very same thing. To me Sky duo were the winners, when Belkin duo were good, Roman was good and Movistar were impressive. The...

Sastre's only chance now is only if Samu attacks on the Soulor descend

He needed someone to pull him through the flat section betweent the 1st and 2nd climb. ideally someone who would drop from the breakaway group. unfortunatelly he's on his own

Told ya. Feel sorry for Baredo though

Barredo chasing motorbikes

fedrigo ftw

Just a thought. Lets say the mechanical didn't happen... Andy crosses the summit with 10'' over Vino and 20'' over AC, Samu et al (succesful attack, right?). What is the normal progression of things? They finish all in the same group imo. Since i want to continue following with the same...
