Nice job by US Postal and Armstrong.

I mean Sky and Froome

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Di Marchi has had some near misses - good for him - the last thing he deserved was getting mown down by the machines.

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

That was one of the worst stages I've ever seen.

Sky should be ashamed of themselves.

You didn't enjoy it?

 

[movingtarget]

Well deserved win. Nice ride by the Pitbull. Froome in world of his own.

 

[Ramira]

I think that says a lot, Talansky coming back. Yes Froome and Porte are impressive, but no-one is really in form atm. This years Nibali would have blown past everyone in this Dauphine just like Froome.

The unfortunate fact is that there's a reasonable chance no-one will really be up for it in the Tour, making it a snoozefest. But can we not pretend this is the Armstrong years, none of these guys are Ullrich or Pantani right now. Honestly I'd be surprised if anyone but Froome would've made the top 3/4 in the 2010 TDF on the form they're displaying this year.

Had Talansky attacked before Froome/Porte or bridged?

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Reading some of these comments now is almost as amusing as the initial attack.

Full *** apparently means climbing equal to Talansky and 10 seconds ahead of Fuglsang...

 

[staubsauger]

That was a bit poor from Froome.

He should've attacked on his own earlier to get the stage instead of waiting for Porte to give him a gift.

Nice to see De Marchi win again. I nearly forgot he left Androni for Cannondale earlier this season.

anyone got stage top 5 plz?

at 50 % of his power, you forgot that.

he could have gone at least 30 sec faster.

I was just going to say that i quite enjoyed the finish. Didnt have a stream to watch but seeing the comments here was good

 

[movingtarget]

No he was in the Sky group.

Trying to steal the stage will be considered greedy. Glad they didnt make it

 

[Red Rick]

Also, can a mod ban me for the month of July, cause this way it's inevitable i'm gonna post doping related stuff in the PRR section or wish crashes, disease or death on certain people who are riding for or are related to a certain team

 

[airstream]

Bravo Richie Porte! Bravo Christopher Froome!! Whatta power omg...

 

[Froome19]

at 50 % of his power, you forgot that.

Wow you make quick calculations based on limited information.

 

[Le Baroudeur]

He's buying loyalty for the tour

No he's shouting "like me too, I help too, Please like me"

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Froome looked bored. Had he gone on his own, he'd have gained minutes.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

F U G L S A N G ! ! !

Respect to AC - Rogers could've lost more if it wasn't for him

Greedy to win, now, isn't it???

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Nice win by De Marchi, but discounted by Froome playing kindergarten with everybody.

Happy too see placement tactics backfired.

Overall predictable and dull.

Hopefully TdS will offer better racing.

 

[Parrulo]

Wow you make quick calculations based on limited information.

You are right, froome clearly was at his limit

 

[Jelantik]

Froome should have just gone for own succes

noooo... he has to match what contador did for his teammate. . He's been matching contador toe to toe as far as off bike. First contador said 75%, he said 73%. Yesterday alberto paced rogers and so today, so did he. LOL.

at least this pool is wrong . Breakaway RULE!

 

[willbick]

apparently Froome did the last climb with his brakes hard on to deter suspicion about his superiority
