pozzovivo himself announced yesterday bad weather to come lol

i hope i will be so wrong but things change badly for him and rujanito....scarponi will be just smiles now.

Bad weather is bad news for Pozzo and Rujano for sure. Hope they survive this weeek

Bulgac (LTB), Keizer (VCD) & Cazaux (EUS) have 3:30 on the peleton.

these poor guys, maybe they'll be in the winning break one day...and lose the sprint for the win to someone like Visconti

rain has started at the finish.

When is Ryo back!?

When is Ryo back!?

In a few hours, I think

I think that Cav will not win this! the top of the hill is to close to the finish line: there is a difficult descend where Sky cannot pulled back who is in front, and just 2.5km of flat to do all the work.... not enough IMO. I will go for a fast man like Goss or Ventoso, or for an attack by Pozzato or Ballan or Battaglin...

You'd have thought the sprinter teams might dare to give them more than 3 or 4 minutes today - at least give them a 0.1 % chance

I was hoping for the break to fail today, but now that there are 2 dutchies in the break and 1 basque they are allowed to stay away and fight for the win.

Not that it will ever happen..

I hope not.

That's not going to cause any damage

Why don't sky just form a breakaway about 20km before the start of the climb, if they can get a couple of minutes then it won't matter if Cav suffers on the hill as he will still be there for the finish.

You should be a DS.

Would be hilarious to actually see Cav in a breakaway, but no way other teams would let them

Not if Sky put all 9 men together at the front and then the final 3 or 4 all slowed down allowing a gap to appear. If Stannard really went hard noone would be able to close him down, the guy is a monster.

Back to reality: the other teams should let Sky do all the work.

I guess noone has a chance against Wigans in the TDF then, as he'll just gap everyone on every flat stage

There's a big difference between doing it for 20km and for 3000km though. He'd be shattered by the third week if he rode like that.

Was that Jack Bauer messing with la maglia rosa?
