3º Mikael Cherel (15)

Gap down to 5'30.

Another three abandons: Simone Stortoni (138), Zdenek Stybar (167) y Kristof Vandewalle (169).

 

[Netserk]

How many kms to the finish?

~80km. They have just passed the first intermediate.

 

[Netserk]

There's a good chance that the strong middle group will be pulled back before Bales.

New predicted winner: Lo Squalo!

 

[Eshnar]

~80km. They have just passed the first intermediate.

[Netserk]

I think the winning time today will be close to 6h20'.

For comparison:

Gardeccia: 7h27'14"
Aubisque: 6h23'21"

 

[SafeBet]

What time is ES going live?

Does anybody know what riders are left in the second group?

Aubisque: 6h23'21"

I think it will be also very interesting at what distance the grupetto rolls in. In the Gardechia stage it was almost 50 minutes

I think coverage will start 16:00 CEST.

I think the second group is about 19 riders strong, so more or less everyone from the original break who aren't amongst the front six.
