Is Herrada the leading rider out in front of the pelo/eton?

I don't think Herrada made it to the front, looks like there are only Intxausti and Szmyd

so Nerz is still the best placed rider in gc

Edit: Herrada and Cardoso just joined the 1st group

 

[Cyivel]

Thanks. It's all a bit fluid. Not sure who the leading rider in the front group is.

gap is growing fast now.

3:24, the last time i checked.

I don't understand what the peloton is thinking. THey should be trying to catch the groups.

 

[murali]

found the reason.

EUS are leading the pelopoton

 

[dgodave]

ermtia means monastry?

Dont know. But lets see more monasteries for sure.

 

[roundabout]

The sport should do away with team GCs

 

[murali]

ASt and RLT are the only GC teams who haven't send anyone up.

 

[murali]

i think samu may attack any time from now

 

[murali]

the two front groups are getting closer

 

[murali]

single large group in front

kirby is more interested in talking about AC moving to alonso's team than focusing on the race at hand. THis is disgusting!

 

[murali]

garate making a move.

 

[murali]

15 km.. and a 3 min gap.

and the break has already started squabbling.

Disgusting? He's just talking about cycling in general. They do that all the time. And there isn't that much happening in the race anyways.

 

[roundabout]

Euskaltel have done a decent job thinning out the group. Maybe 40 people or so still there

anotehr move by garate.

Kirby is annoying, but so is making 7 damned posts in a row. Building up the old post count, hmm???

Nail was hit hard and true.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Barguil is having a fantastic Grand Tour debut for a 21 year old neo pro.

 

[roundabout]

He is a good climber and an ok finisher. I am not sure why he went so early
