I'm really not a TJ fan, but it'd be nice to see him win this one. If only put some respect in a couple of forum members.

6 Sky riders along with Froome as of now. Something needs to happen on this ascent itself.

4 now. Long way to go.

 

[Miburo]

Another fail on the horizon for Saxo.

Paulinho has 2 minutes on the peloton.

Edit: info i got was wrong

Lopez finding some form? He is after Siutsou now

 

[Warhawk]

Could TJ win this stage?

If he doesn't blow, why not? He's a good descender. He's got at least some cushion to work with in terms of time to the GC guys.

 

[murali]

siustou
lopez (the invisible man)
kannaugh
porte

Thats aint how it Works..respect useally aint a factor for the most loud forum dudes..

One should think it was a race that was the primary for peoples intention.. but it clearly aint

Finally deserving his paycheck.

Is AC looking good, to me he is not. What you lot think? maybe he is not as high up cuz first acent?

 

[the sceptic]

well looks like the fun is over

 

[luckyboy]

Paulinho nearly caught. Not a great tactic

 

[painai]

Well AC just wasted roche and paulinho

 

[Ruby United]

Thought Paulinho would be with Roche until just before the top.

 

[puffin]

Such an anticlimax so far. Paulinho to be caught soon. I think all of sky are still there. Kennaugh, Porte and Froome will destroy everyone on the last climb.

 

[Rollthedice]

So much for Saxo. Paulinho killed by own team who sent him to die.

 

[Dutchsmurf]

Well AC just wasted roche and paulinho

What else could he have done with them tho?

 

[Hugo87]

Saxobank tactic failed hard.

 

[luckyboy]

This storm is pretty brutal huh

 

[Warhawk]

Saxobank tactic failed hard.

They just Saxotanked.

 

[TANK91]

This is embarrassing by Evans, it was always a stupid decision doing the TDF, 36 years old and only getting weaker in the Giro, way too go BMC .

 

[murali]

i saw dan martin in the back of the pelaton

 

[Kender]

Well AC just wasted roche and paulinho

It was a decision by Roche and paulinho not contador. DS gave them the all clear after they got a gap. Bad decision

 

[painai]

Cadel dropped as well, so much for saving his legs...

 

[Scirea]

Well AC just wasted roche and paulinho

It wasn't his decision to send those two up the road after the breakaway group went away. In any case, it looks like Contador might change his ambitions to a stage win now.
