Or just trying to discourage any further attacks out of the peloton?

Bad couple of days for Cofidis.

just going to make it worse by keeping it at 1 min.. people are going to try and bridge that

Aye, although the story was funny about Remi.

Hope David is ok

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Does anyone know if the finish has a head wind or not ?

Thanks

From the ticker

This is a big loss for Cofidis, also in view of the team's Vuelta objectives. If Moncoutié's collarbone is broken, he might not be able to be competitive again by the end of August.

They should have a word with Sky......

 

[Montanus]

EBH alone keeps the same pace as the break. Guess EBH just can't go any slower.

Edit: Knees helping out now.

 

[Montanus]

Col du Granier is up: 9.7k at 8.6%. Tough climb, should hurt the legs a bit.

 

[Normandy]

Sad to see Moncoutie going. He may not win many races put whe he does he does it without ateam of riders to him up hill. Hopefully see him in the Vuelta,

After half an hour of Harmon/kelly I cant stand watching anymore. Time to go and do something I hate - shopping but anything is more enjoyable nthan this commnetary.

eg Everything sky does is good or outstanding

Everything Movistar does is bad. Their tactics must be questionable because they are not Sky?

Sky mentioned everyother sentence. Discussing losses in teams - Sky's one loss discussed more than all the other losses put together.

Sky inter team politics discussed

Kirby is saying he feels sorry for Sky because people are talking about their tactics and it puts additional pressure on the poor riders.

Harmon adnits he is a good friend of Brailsford. Should he be allowed to commentate?

They have totally destroyed any enjoyment in watching cycle racing.

Are you suprised? A UK Based team, with the majority of their riders GB on a Eurosport UK?

 

[Koba80]

You could always press mute.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Wait, Pinot in trouble?

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Wait, Pinot in trouble?

Looks like he's paying for yesterdays effort.

 

[Montanus]

Sky keeps going hard. Weird.

Muppets again. They need to start letting breaks go or they will become very unpopular in the peleton

 

[burning]

Why the hell sky is riding such a tempo?

 

[Forunculo]

Wait, Pinot in trouble?

He is 22 don't worry, it's normal

 

[oevkride]

Is EBH still leading the bunch? If so they cant be going that fast.

 

[Parrulo]

He is 22 don't worry, it's normal

he is really really hurting tho

 

[stazzy]

[Boardslide]

Perhaps they think once they get over this it's a stage suitable for EBH
