2014 Tour de France July 19, Stage 14: Grenoble - Risoul 177km

Hopefully neither, but by the look of it, Roche is the one in the front group who takes all the leads along with Sagan, Purito and the AGR2 rider.

+ Thomas. I guess it's Nieve who has plans for today.

 

[Bushman]

It Rogers also there? I think Nieve is the best climber of the group but with both Rogers and Majka he could have some trouble.

Rogers was in the initial front group when Nibali was up there too but is now in the peloton.

 

[Fzotrlool]

chavanel?

You obviously missed the start, Chavanel attacked as the first one. But it must have been a short-lived attack.

 

[Koba80]

Does Kelly ever start his turn on commentary with a word other than 'yes'?

 

[ILovecycling]

Very good break,but Astana is riding pretty fast!

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

Very good break,but Astana is riding pretty fast!

Yes, doesn't look promising for the breakaway right now, depends if Astana get bored chasing.

 

[Rollthedice]

Hey Ryo - are there still 35 climbers better than Nibali?

Some 30 of them are currently drinking in a bar somewhere in Colombia with Betancur.

Does Kelly ever start his turn on commentary with a word other than 'yes'?

Yes he does - he just started his bit with 'No'!

Roche+Majka. Majka is constantly sitting on the wheel of Roche, so I guess it is Majka they are going for.

Roche+Majka. Majka is constantly sitting on the wheel of Roche, so I guess it is Majka they are going for.

Good decision, Majka is better than Roche.

 

[l.Harm]

Astana doesn't give them a lot of space.

 

[The Barb]

Astana is relentless. A strong break with no GC threats, plus Fuglsang injured, and they're still giving the breakaway minimal leeway.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Astana is relentless. A strong break with no GC threats, plus Fuglsang injured, and they're still giving the breakaway minimal leeway.

Stage win and polka-dot threats. They want it all.

 

[Coat-O]

Hmm. Purito takes way too many leads right now. I hope he still has the power for last climb. Maybe he is only interested in the mountain points.

 

[The Hitch]

KZpostal!!!

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Yay! just came to check who's in the break and this is the kind of break we've all been waiting for this TdF isn't it.

Nieve ftw

I'm also hoping for Kruijswijk, Taaramae and Serpa to do well, but I doubt they will. Maybe Kruijswijk.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Stage win and polka-dot threats. They want it all.

Pffff. 3 stage wins isn't enough for Nibali?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Good decision, Majka is better than Roche.

They said so already yesterday. They said that Rogers, Roche and Majka would attack and Majka will go for the stage victory today + the polka dots.

 

[killswitch]

Pffff. 3 stage wins isn't enough for Nibali?

Vino is calling the shots.

 

[Jerkovin]

Finally, a good break.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Belgian TV reports Ten Dam had to pull over and throw up early in the stage. Might be sick

 

[whittashau]

Pffff. 3 stage wins isn't enough for Nibali?

I don't understand this logic. Can you come up with a logical argument for why Nibali shouldn't go for more wins?

It's an experienced racer he knows what to do...

Edit: If J-Rod feels good today imo he will win otherwise it's open behind him...
