Betancur really reminds me of Ricco, same style, confidence and characteristics as a rider. I hope there aren't any more similarities, though.
Was Nibs racing for Birdsong? What was Astana's idea for this stage?
Thomas outstanding, downright surprising. Fat man takes is all! Congrats.

After such an effort their lactic acid must have been through the roof, they simply didn't have anything else to give, neither of them.

I think so. He is only 5 seconds back from thomas. And with 10 bonus seconds that's more than enough to overtake thomas.
Bentacour is impressive. I saw his photo overweight (almost like noval
) a month ago. and he is not even anorexic yet, but he managed to go that fast on the last hill. Won back to back. If he continues like this, and he gets to his anorexic weight, he'll be another Quintana comes TDF.

No it was clear he had a mechanical, he was bossing it at the front and suddenly you could see him pedalling air. Then after the corner someone crashed infront of him.
What a ****ing day, Kelderman and Slagter out.
Wtf Keldermerckx and the Butcher both get a mechanic in the last few km
Awesome ride by Carlos '5kg above race weight' Fatancur though!!!!

Slagter problems with his chain, just got confirmed. Was pretty clear as well, as he already got in trouble before Vuillermoz crashed.
Great ride by Betancur. He just needs to learn how to position himself. And hats off to Vuillermoz.. What a ride today! Oh yeah, and great performance by Thomas as well.
Great riding and great finish. When Nibali attacked several times on the downhill, I could only think of IzNoGoUd's post where he said something along the lines of ''Nibali with one of his pointless attacks''.
All of them.
Truth be told, if there were any significant attacks before the last km, you'd still say the racing sucks because It should have been made harder, starting with the route.

Villermoz allready passed him because Slagter allready had chain problems before that corner. After that you see Villermoz crash and you can see Slagter pedalling 100000 rounds a minute trying to get his chain back up. Than he raises his hand and looks back as if the find his teamcar right behind him which was kind of funny since he was in the last 400m, but I guess that was a panick reaction.

Yeh well so do I, but I wanted to start easy before causing a riot. Guess I wasn't the only one lol.

No sweat, he has been following cycling for only a few months. It takes time to understand how these races work.
