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

[classicomano]

The Frisian Beast has awoken once again, everyone be scared.

 

[l.Harm]

If the GPS is correct the peloton is getting closer. Someone is making tempo there.

Obviously the timing was incorrect

[Eyeballs Out]

Ok, what's Westra doing here? Trying to go solo that early doesn't make him a good launch pad for Nibali later...he'll be spent then.

Hopefully he's trying to win the stage

[JimPanzen]

He doesn't want Kwiatkowski to join obviously

Good point. But in that case, he could have upped the tempo instead of attacking.

 

[Arredondo]

Purito hates Voeckler too

 

[trevim]

I love the fact that a rider I dislike (Voeckler) will hopefully get his a*** kicked by one of my favourites (Rodriguez).

Vamos Purito!!!!!

 

[SeriousSam]

Tommy is suffering on the pedals

 

[Parrulo]

King out.

Was he injured or something like that? Because dropping out so soon on the first real mountain stage is a bit embarassing

Shed some dead weight because cooperation in the breakaway was poor.

Where are all those incredibly clever people who said it was a waste for Astana to give jersey away as Lotto wouldn't ride?

It’s not about being clever, it’s that many here like to support their favorite rider and lose objectiveness quite easily… like happens to me as well.

 

[zombo10]

THE question of the day now: Gallopin in yellow tonight => Yes or No? No for me and it will be Nibali.

 

[JimPanzen]

Riding with Voeckler in the break must be the ultimate punishment for every rider.

 

[SeriousSam]

To be fair, I don't fully understand the yellow jersey dynamics. It seems more driven by tradition than optimal tactics ("if you've got the yellow jersey you need to defend!")

 

[Publicus]

Either the GPS is going haywire or the maillot jaune has been dropped

No yellow jersey -> no podium ceremony + no antidoping control + no interview in the press room -> get to hotel 2 hours earlier. It's that simple.

allez Riblon allez allez!

 

[trevim]

Greipel doing a great job, ultimate team player this guy!

 

[richard_91]

Im pretty sure if Voekler used all he energy he puts into pulling those faces into riding he'd be a multiple GT winner

Griepel taking over

Greipel riding at the front

Obviously the timing was incorrect

The gps is jumping about all over the place because of the weather. The gap between martin's group and the peloton has jumped between 40 seconds and 2 minutes on one refresh.

 

[Carols]

Gorilla what a beast

 

[Frosty]

King out.

Was actually in the Schleck crash on the London stage a week ago, dont know if he had been struggling since then. Was last overall before today's stage. Cheng is the new lanterne rouge
