Lol. Alberto in a second group

 

[Publicus]

By all accounts Contador was actually in a 2nd group behind Nibali and others, but given he's a bigger name he gets tweeted first from race radio.

Yep. That must be the case because AC wasn't in top 10. Hate twitter based coverage.

Or the race situation changed since then.

Nibbles! So you do are racing!

 

[Red Rick]

I don't get it

 

[LaFlorecita]

Is there no chance of sagan holding on? Win another flatter stage and manage losses on green mt?

 

[LaFlorecita]

Or the race situation changed since then.

no, Alberto was actually leading the second group, not the first

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Or the race situation changed since then.

I would say misreporting is about 25 times more likely than Contador being caught and dropped by climbers like Bouhanni.

[Geraint Too Fast]

What a beast!

 

[Red Rick]

So Contador attacked somewhere, was with Nocentini at front with 5k to go, got caught and somehow missed the first group

 

[Publicus]

Or the race situation changed since then.

Which goes back to my last point: I hate twitter based coverage

 

[jens_attacks]

lol sagan went solo

 

[Publicus]

Well Nocentini is 16th. Perhaps Cobtador was "raptured"

 

[TeoSheva]

lol sagan went solo

that's crazy

 

[LaFlorecita]

I would say misreporting is about 25 times more likely than Contador being caught and dropped by climbers like Bouhanni.

yea

Awesome victory for Sagan, he is just too strong

 

[wheelie1977]

i'm pretty pleased with my predictions - first and second and an "off-form" Nibali in 4th

but i'm not one to say I told you so, just listen next time

SKY train for the 2 climbs, Sagan win and a daredevil descent all predicted. Gallopin winning the sprint of climbers was just poetry.

talk to you tonight, loves

yea

He really doesn't need to have made very much progress at all to be favourite for 2 or 3 monuments this year.

Seems like Sagan pretty much bossed this stage.
