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

[The Hitch]

I think Valverde still has a chance.

 

[Hugo87]

What a freaking heartburn, Contador and cycling fans waiting for a show all year long didn't deserve this.

 

[kurtinsc]

How? unless Porte goes full *** every day, this tour is over.

Valverde won't do ****, vdb2 won't do ****, tj won't do ****, no one will do anything.

If the Dauphine is an indication, Talansky might try something.

Don't think it will be enough to matter, but he will at least likely have a go at it.

 

[escartin]

This tour is now game on and really competitive

Nibali vs a phalanx of Frenchmen with loose alliances ( Rolland vs Pinot vs Bardet vs Gallopin vs Peraud ) with Valverde sucking all and every wheel possible.

This is what we hoped for.

Not exactly what we were looking for but there are now some people who would have thought they would have no chance who now have one, albeit slight with Nibali's lead. Could make for some interesting tactics and stages...

 

[Netserk]

No blame on Astana imo.

Now I'm just sad. So sad.

 

[CycloAndy]

Poor Contador. I even feel sorry for Nibali as even if he would have won the tour anyway, he will never get the full recognition for it.

 

[ILovecycling]

This Tour had so much promise.

10chars

 

[senatorrick]

Wish Talansky wasn't crash ridden because he could definitely podium

 

[Miburo]

Well i got a lot of free time for the next 2 weeks, nothing to do with being a contador fan this is just a borefest now.

Someone got a good show to watch?

 

[rainman]

What a great shame. Sad to see him out

 

[Netbalp]

Nibali is not blame for anything. Froome's fans on the other hand felt the same. Still I'd prefer to see a new GT winner now. Porte, Van den Broeck.. whoever.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

RIP

Spectacle

TdF 2014

 

[TANK91]

So we have lost the 2 best riders in world, what a joke. RPorte is TDF champion.

 

[JimPanzen]

Well ok, this sucks big time.

 

[pink_jersey]

Purito would have targeted the TdF this year ))

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Absolutely Gutted !!

Well who would have thought neither Contador nor Froome would win this??

Many saying a slam-dunk for Nibali but not so sure.

Contador had 1 threat - Nibali;

But there are many riders who's ability is just under Nibali and so those teams will be trying much harder now.

 

[therhodeo]

Sad day. At least Spain should be fun this year.

 

[Miburo]

If the Dauphine is an indication, Talansky might try something.

Don't think it will be enough to matter, but he will at least likely have a go at it.

Like what? This is a 3 week stage race, talansky hasn't proven ****.

 

[willbick]

I think Valverde still has a chance.

Of course he has a chance. All top riders within a few mins of the lead have a chance

 

[Broth3r]

Holy ****, all the prophets of disgrace.

I love Bertie, he's 100% guaranteed fireworks, but no man makes a race on his own.

This Tour is not done. Not by a long shot.

 

[Amsterhammer]

Absolutely gutted. What a colossal p!sser.

Flo, het spijt me schat.

 

[luckyboy]

I think Valverde still has a chance.

I think we are all already sad enough

 

[cineteq]

Poor Contador. I even feel sorry for Nibali as even if he would have won the tour anyway, he will never get the full recognition for it.

Mayso so, if Nibali wins the Tour, one can always go back to stage 5 to justify it.

 

[senatorrick]

Valve ride to race his *** off for second for sure! Lol maybe him and Porte will make it interesting hopefully

 

[SeriousSam]

if only valverde had shown the form i though he'd have.
