They don't want kittel at the front

And to be fair to bulking, they were helping OPQS befor valvarde punctured

They might, but no as hard as they are now. Does Belking think this is Tdf's last stage? Should be holding some energies for tomorrow, where there will clearly be GC attacks. I always was against trashing people when they have some sort of mechanical problem, there was 80k to go ffs.

Really don't want to see Valverde lose time here.

Hopefully the first peloton will back off a bit now that the intermediate sprint point has gone.:eek:

No chance. Now that Valverde is with Kittel, OPQS + Cannondale will never stop. It was doubly unlucky for Valverde that he got a puncture while Kittel was a minute down from the main group. If all the sprinters had been together, there probably wouldn't be such pushing from the front

Looks like they'll get back. Shame for Quintana; he'll have to go back to working for Valverde despite being the strongest

Politically correct call by Europcar: teammate gives him a wheel AND gets his replaced at the same time.

Rolland is acting as if he's in contention...he should wait for Valverde and give him a hand.

The key thing about the Piti grp coming back is that Kittel appears to be being distanced.
