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

[kingjr]

No blame on Astana imo.

Nope. Contador looked done after the crash.

 

[SafeBet]

Truly gutted for Berto

 

[the sceptic]

Imagine if Papy discovers his vuelta climbing legs now..

 

[gthx_gthx_]

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...

There's a fair chance that those new people will just fight for second , third place though. At least , without Froome and Contador , the two last place of the podium remains quite open.
However for the first place , outside Porte really i don't see anyone (Valverde perhaps).

 

[Rollthedice]

I think Valverde still has a chance.

Sure, for the podium.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

The race isn't over. I'm disappointed over Contador's departure, but a) hopefully the Vuelta will be good, and b) the rematch between Pappy and Nibali will be legendary.

Ok, kidding about that 2nd one.

 

[therhodeo]

I think we are all already sad enough

Hahahaha about spit my coffee out.

 

[funnie]

Now i can enjoy my vacation!! No more planning to watch the action in the tour... And praying for a super Vuelta!

 

[giamakr1]

It's too bad for the spectacle that he has quitted,we all expected a huge battle, but the most important thing right now is that he doesn't have any serious damage in the knee.That's what i am hoping at least.Health above all,tour de france 2014 included..

 

[Publicus]

This race is all but over.

 

[Miburo]

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.

True but 2 man can make a race. When there's only 1 left, it's a borefest.

 

[TANK91]

When has 1 Favourite crahsed out the TDF?, but this is the 2 top favourites. I know their is many Nibali fans here i have nothing against him but this sucks he will probably win unless Porte does well and that is stupid. Nibali the winner of staying upright.

 

[Mr. Larsen (DK)]

Big blow for the race, now Nibali will win without problems.

God i hope something happen to Astana, attacking when a big rider like Contador is down, that's not okay, i hope karma bite them in their ***

 

[willbick]

Who would have thought neither froome nor contador would barely get Past the first week!

 

[zombo10]

I don't know what to say guys... Just =>

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

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

What Talansky can try is not to crash anyone else out.

 

[RedheadDane]

No!

Now the race just has to go on.

 

[arvc40]

TV off. Tour over for me too

 

[rhubroma]

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

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

Yea but the Fates are real b!tches.

Thats not exactly what happened but ok.

 

[Publicus]

Who would have thought neither froome nor contador would barely get Past the first week!

Nobody. Not a single person.

 

[JimPanzen]

So now there is a bit of a risk that the rest of the Tour will be a borefest. Unless VdB discovers how to attack

 

[ILovecycling]

This race is all but over.

point: The winner of 2014 will be even less praised than 2006 tho.

 

[maxmartin]

The race isn't over. I'm disappointed over Contador's departure, but a) hopefully the Vuelta will be good, and b) the rematch between Pappy and Nibali will be legendary.

porte and nibali
