2014 Tour de France, Stage 10: Mulhouse > La Planche des Belles Filles 161.5 Km

[Eclipse]

So what's Barta's plan? Wheelsuck all day long?

It worked so far!

Poor Pineau is still soldiering along on in the rain on his own out in no man's land

Interested to see how it goes between Voekler and JRod at the summits. I'm hoping they're competitive sprints... could give us another interesting angle to watch for the race since the Green jersey won't have much interest with Sagan dominating.

Hmm How many of these breakaway want KoM points -

Purito for sure

Riblon I'd guess

Any of the others ?

Tommy V ^^; I guess

 

[zombo10]

ok, now that they have bridged, will sagan try it or will he wait for the peloton after the sprint? I somehow can't see him wining this agains rodriguez, and probably he doesn't want another top5

This.

Questioned before the start by letour.fr, Michael Rogers (Tinkoff-Saxo) said: “You can't compare to two years ago. It's much harder. For me, it's the queen stage of the Tour. There will thirty seconds gaps at the end but I can't tell who for. All I know is that Alberto is very strong.”

This is a dissapointing start, in the breakaway there is not people for GC... today the two hardest climbs are at the begining, you could win the Tour today from far...

[Hugo87]

Why IAM is pulling like crazy?

 

[Cimber]

What is IAM doing? Angry cos Pineau didnt bridge the gap?

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

IAM will catch Pineau before the break lets him catch them.


EDIT - OK, that was their plan.

 

[ILovecycling]

IAM riding pretty hard now

Nice one Mick now destroy the peloton

 

[Alcanelo]

Rain really putting a dampener on this...literally

 

[Cimber]

Damn talk about bad weather. The descents will be dangerous. Also, Nibali loves weather like this

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Jeez the weather is horrendous !

Ahahaha good!

 

[AICA ribonucleotide]

Because of a ****ed off DS in their ears no doubt

 

[webbie146]

Bad weather. Advantage Nibali

I would be disappointed if the GC didn't go to the 3rd week.

 

[ILovecycling]

group is not working at all,no chance

 

[The Barb]

Why IAM is pulling like crazy?

I can't figure this out either ... but they've taken back a minute and a half in 2km ...

 

[ILovecycling]
