It will be interesting if Kwiatkowski will be dropped on that last climb tmr.

 

[theyoungest]

I know that feeling.

Yes, what was that about from Lampre?

 

[BigMac]

Save the post so you can show everyone later down the road.

I surely will.

Will check Froome's odds for the green jersey later.

 

[BigMac]

8km to go and Ferrari is at the very end of the péloton. Lampre pulls for no reason while their sprinter is nowhere to be seen. By the time the sprint starts Ferrari is in the 15-20th position.

Don't really care about Lampre in general though, it was more about other times I've expereienced that with other teams.

the question is if Tony Martin will be dropped, as he is the only one ahead of Froome who can put time on Froome in the final ITT

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Porte saving himself for stage 3:

127 Richie PORTE (Team Sky) 00:08:37

Anyway I think we we see a real power break tomorrow.

If Martin isn't dropped then Sky and Astana will have really messed up!

I think there will only be a half a dozen in the GC group at the end.

TJVG to win from a break is my prediction though.

Anybody has the details of the last mountain tomorrow?

I could not find it. Just the normal stage profile.

Missing the starting bump.

That one is mapped incorrectly. (Wrong start)

Are you sure? I think they go from Monthey to Bex where they climb to Villars-sur-Ollon via Route de Gryon and descend to Ollon via Route de Villars.

That mapping however, is missing a bit of the beggining of the climb. The first bump.

Can you map the correct one if I'm mistaken please?

Check the map and video on the official site.

 

[Pricey_sky]

So they will be climbing the four climbs from the original profile and there have been no changes?

 

[roundabout]

Champex is the highest one and it's not even 1500 meters

 

[Escarabajo]

Thanks. 8 kms with some steep gradients (6-11%). The rest is at easier gradients.

final descend doesn't seems technical at all , maybe map is deceiving

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Its showtime:

vs

Not much of a train from Sky methinks, others will try but this could be quite open early.

Looking forward to it.

 

[Arnout]

Tell me those arms are photoshopped.

 

[NaturalClen]

Froome, Nibali, Uran, Peraud and maybe 1 Tinkoff rider to sprint for the win.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Aerodynamic position. Others will eventually adapt.

 

[NaturalClen]

Froome is on the right, needs to shed 1.5kg more to get to Tdf weight

I know black is the choice color for women's for a reason but still he is skinny as fck, no wonders he gets ill so easy and he can race properly only with temperatures over 20 degrees

i like how Uran is checking if Kwiat won

 

[More Strides than Rides]

Tell me those arms are photoshopped.

Looks like one of those skewed panoramic shots.

those arms are disgusting

More like a not so photogenic mantis.
