This is a good situation for potential fireworks on the madeleine.

If quintana or contador have the legs and can ride to this group without Froome

Miburo would you exchange Froome's Tour loss for Contador losing 10 min today?

 

[Rajna31]

He isn't in the polka dot jersey.

I know but I spotted a carrot other than Izaguirre. But I might have been wrong.

 

[meat puppet]

kirby showing the intertubes' tinfoils. needs more bulldawg pathos, but good to hear him speaking his mind.

kelly evasive action immediately.

I will take that offer.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I know but I spotted a carrot other than Izaguirre. But I might have been wrong.

I think - and hope - that you're wrong

 

[Cyclope]

Valverde is in good form still, as he had a bad camping in GC, it will be good for him to nab today's crucial stage, at least he is deserving in my opinion, and interesting battle for polka-dot.

 

[bubblegum]

four bleading carrots ahead of the peloton, it would be good to see them have some luck today

 

[tomorrow]

moser there, so he will want to compete with riblon for kom points

 

[The Barb]

There are three carrots in the lead group excluding Izaguirre.

Surely one carrot must be Nieve.

 

[airstream]

I will take that offer.

Oh, personal preferences broke even such a mature and experienced fan like you...

Contador? He was outclassed by Quintana and Purito yesterday. Only these two seems to have the form to hurt Froome.

 

[tomorrow]

are sprinters already dropped from the peloton now? I do not have live images yet

 

[Cimber]

Oh, personal preferences broke even such a mature and experienced fan like you...

Without personal preference all kind of sports would be a bit flavorless

 

[petiagos]

Thomas de Gendt being Thomas de Gendt again, falling of the back already. Bet he wins tomorrow

It´s Van poppel in the back of the peloton .... i think

 

[Cimber]

are sprinters already dropped from the peloton now? I do not have live images yet

De Gendt has been dropped at least

 

[airstream]

Yes, but it's a bit beyond the point to prefer a rider to lose just because he smashed your rider.

 

[cocteau_ireland]

Hesjedal has a similar riding style to martin(not flat tony). Wonder if they practice it?

 

[Pulpstar]

How can someone with such obvious potential be dropped by a crocked G Thomas and Ian Stannard riding tempo up a climb

 

[Vino's Mum]

Ryder rocking the POC shades.

 

[Cimber]

Yes, but it's a bit beyond the point to prefer a rider to lose just because he smashed your rider.

Oh but that isnt the reason. I would just like to see some one else than the dominator to win (I disliked Contador till he cracked in PN a handful of years ago). Was happy to see Quintana and JRod ride away yesterday.

Btw I remember you in the vuelta last year wrote a post that you never liked dominators and thats part. Does that still stand true and how does that affect your personal preferences for this Tour? Would you like to see Froome crack and Quintana to fly away with 6 mins?

 

[AICA ribonucleotide]

No chance Riblon is going to get the 25 points on the top ahead of Hesjedal and Izaguirre. His group will be fighting it out for 16 points now. I cant see him lasting to the top of the Madeleine in a good posisiton if something kicks off.

 

[Cyclope]

Also should have included P.Rolland in the poll !?

 

[Scirea]

Contaador probably needee rain which we now know won't happen. That fat would help him.

Here comes the rain.

 

[Cimber]

Rain!!!!!!

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

I hope saxo will now relaly put bthe hurting on, especially kreuziger in downhil
