Good for insomniacs in Australia. Reality is will have to catch up with some of the racing, the day after.

Don't think so...Porte and Froome seem miles ahead...besides - somebody always says that Mollema needs lot of racing days to get into form.Dekker_Tifosi said:

TJVG will be in the mix but maybe not good enough to beat the Sky duo. Evans on domestique duties.

Will be interesting to see Skys tactics. Surely they should be going for a 1-2 but without exposing themselves too much.
Days like these i'm glad I invested in an ipad so I can watch 2 easily. Now, how to fit in GW too...

Eurosport is showing delayed coverage of CI. At least they do here in Denmark.
Porte could probably drop Froome on the last climb.
In any case we will see Sky's train in full motion today.

In that kind of shape and at the age of 28 Porte has no time to waste playing the domestique, guy needs to put pressure on sky to give him a free role at the tour, beating froome today would do that.
35km in, gap 4:20
Vachon (BSE), Roy (FDJ), Cammaerts (COF), Poux (SOJ), Huguet (ARG), Goncalves (LPM), et Didier (RLT)

It would be smart for Sky to 'give' this to Porte, to make sure Porte works for Froome in the Tour. Good as Porte is, he isn't good enough (yet...) to win the Tour, while Froome is.

He was a 25 year old neo-pro so he should be able to remain competitive well in to his 30s.

Lol horner is 41 and still very near to the best. I dont think Porte is pressed for time
Froome has a 2nd place in the Tour, and 2nd and 4th in the Vuelta, in just two years as GC leader. Porte is the same age, and in fairness hasn't impressed as much. Bear in mind that Froome wasn't the team leader initially either.Sophistic82 said:
Of course Porte's form right now seems to be great, but that was probably also the plan: have Porte peak in March, and domestique for his leaders later on. He said last year he had his best form of the year in Algarve.

Yeah, I know. It's just hard to watch 3 races at a time, so I was suggesting watching the re-run at 18.00
This is the break: Frank, Mourey, Schleck, Voeckler, Gautier, Vachon, Roy and Didier
Not sure how much they have
