Pinot only has 3 behind him. What is he doing? This isn't even technical.
He fears speed descents more than technical ones.
He should smoke some weed and descend on his training :razz: :lol:
Pinot better sniffs some speed and flies downhill like a bomber pilot! :cool:
Zam used to mention a rubber plantation as it relates to his location...maybe crops have changed in his neck of the weeds ;) .

I won't celebrate until the fat lady sings, but this race is somewhat of a carbon copy of last year's. I would like nothing more than Thibaut winning a small group sprint tomorrow, seal the deal, whack the Dawg and the Vino clones.
 
Stage 5 Rattenberg - Innsbruck 161.6 km

Up 3 times the last climb ...

before a flat 5 km run in to the finish.
 
Another stage practically made for Sanchez. Then again, he is only 1:06 behind and Astana could also play him the GC game by attacking early. Personally, I would go for the latter, since Bilbao is a great alternative for the stage win. If all else fails, they'd still be with a man or five in the peloton.

I'm suggesting mushrooms for a more colorful experience. Like getting sucked into a portal!
 
Pretty cool to see "my" training grounds and to know all the roads the guys are cycling today (and then later in September).
Also, fantastic weather today - there couldn't be a better promotion for Innsbruck and the WC2018

:D
