2014 68th Tour de Romandie, April 29 to May 4 - WT

[NaturalClen]

Froome has to attack today,if he will be in a group with Nibali on top of the last climb,Nibali will kill him in that descent

yes he has to attack otherwise Nibali will put time in to him + 10 bonus seconds

doesn't matter if he is catched later on descent, chasers have to take extra risks and better chances he finish in the group.

edit: and it depends if it rains, if last descent is in heavy rain nobody, even Nibali, wont risk anything, just not worth the trouble.

Grivko (AST) is up the road. Would not be an unheard tactic for Nibali to get away on 2nd or 3rd descent and join with Grivko. Most likely on 3rd (penultimate) descent.

Chris Froome ‏@chrisfroome 6m
Today's profile and heavy rain forecasted. 3 guesses what Nibali is planning for today.. #WWND (What Would Nibali Do) pic.twitter.com/twNufXdrZK

lol.

Nice one Froome

 

[Pricey_sky]

Today looks a good stage and if raced hard will create some big gaps. No doubt the climbers will try and drop Martin,Kwia and co. I'm sure Froome will attack but not sure if he has the form to sustain it yet.

Westra DNS.

Infection in his knee.

With the week OGE are having, it has to be a Meyer win next stage.

kiwi already dropped. peloton down to 30 riders

tremendous stage!

after the 1st climb lol

i saw he is tired but expected him to last at least 3 from 4 climbs

how many Astana and Sky riders in those 30?!

 

[Pricey_sky]

30 riders after just 1 climb? Is there a stream yet or just a ticker?

 

[BeagRigh]

Damn it. No video for another 2 hours. :-(

 

[Netserk]

Well it wasn't exactly an easy climb.

 

[McLovin]

Albasini dropped.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Damn it. No video for another 2 hours. :-(

Shocking, I wish on days like this which have so much potential they put pictures on 30-60 minutes earlier.

 

[Rollthedice]

Kwia is back. 60 riders in peloton.

 

[Netserk]

The flower child just took it easy. He knows when and where it really counts.

Expect him to join Nibali and attack on the last descent and win the stage!

Hope KwiatHype ends today.

Costa, Nibali, and Spilak to fight for the win.

He will probably finish higher in the Tour GC than Costa

No he won't. It will prove to hard for him, so he will miss the top10 again by an inch. Costa will smash everyone in the Risoul stage which he marked as his favourite in the Tour presentation.

Avatar bet? J/k.

Costa, Nibali, and Spilak to fight for the win.

The KwiatHype will never end..

 

[RichieTheBest]

The KwiatHype will never end..

His win is more than probable. Nibali and Froome won't die there to take this at all costs.
