Re:

Pinot only has 3 behind him. What is he doing? This isn't even technical.

He fears speed descents more than technical ones.

 

[Climbing]

Nice riding. Superiority Astana.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

No bonus for any of the leaders.
Yeah

Lu Lu

Re: Re:

Great, Sanchez wins with the help of a motorycle.

Would have won regardless.

He obviously has a better sprint than Bennett but if it wasn't for that motorcycle Bennett would have gotten into his wheel - no doubt about it.

 

[Carols]

Chapeau Lulu! Astana making statements in almost every race!

 

[SafeBet]

Couldn't mess this up again after yesterday. Well done, Lulu.

 

[YavorD]

So Astana could be 4/4 in this race if they didn't *** up yesterday.. Really good on them this season.

 

[Laplaz]

Fun stage also today! Great win by LS, and really impressed by Conci today!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

[DenisMenchov]

There were 5 Astanas in the main group. What a team they have this year and Fuglsang isn't even there.

 

[repre]

Missed last 40 kms of the stage. Whats up with Padun?

Sky do that and they ruin cycling

Sky has been unfortunately doing this for years, actually.. And not on some "minor" classics and freaking Tour of the Alps but on TDF and the main stages races on the calendar.

It might sound unfair, but even if Astana is surprisingly stunning this season, we still have not bridged the red line. QS on the classics tho.

 

[Gigs_98]

The main difference is that if sky had such a team they would use it to guide froome to the finish without him putting his nose in the wind even once. Astana has used it to win three out of four stages with three different riders.

Lost in translation..............

Re: Re:

Pinot is struggling

Not really.

What a dumb route by the way, it'a practically watching the same stage each day.

Uh, what?!

Other than being short mountain stages, they have been quite different so far. I certainly haven't seen a 14.6km @ 6.5% climb today, nor a steep MTF. And the first stage was quite different to this one as well.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Koen Bouwman really made a step up this year.

Aye sure, if sky had been winning multiple stages on a race everyone would be loving that...do folk realise what they type sometimes

Ok, you’ll need to explain that one to me

He should smoke some weed and descend on his training :razz: :lol:

Pinot better sniffs some speed and flies downhill like a bomber pilot!

Re:

Yeah, definetly! Looking forward to see what he and G. Bennett can do at the Giro.
