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

[Buttelski]

Home decision

Think it was clear that the result was called in favour of the Frenchman.

Is it a final decision or can they appeal?

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Nice move by Kwia

 

[Taxus4a]

Well, things have changed with Kiatkowski, the next too climbs are really hard and everything is going to fall to pieces.

 

[Miburo]

Is OPQS trying something with Martin e Kwia?

I don't get what though lol I mean they'll never get away far and eventually teams will chase them down cause kwiat is a danger for top 10. Way too far.

But whatever it's exciting

 

[No_Balls]

Why IAM is pulling like crazy?

Flashing their sponsors. Bastille-day for Chavanel.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

So Barta did get dropped.
But back again like a young Levi Leip

 

[SafeBet]

wow peloton is thin!

 

[ILovecycling]

Tony driving Kwia

Tony been stuck in the 53x11 since yesterday. Sweet move from Kwiato to go with him.

 

[The Hitch]

Bad weather. Advantage Nibali

Contador isn't bad in it either. Didn't he say he preferred it? I know last year Contador fans were praying for storms all TDF. He's won some big races in Italy over the years where the weather is always bad.

 

[Samson]

it is always good to have a man in the breakaways, and today Astana is not the leader.

But it's always him who's allowed to. In Dauphinee and same thing in tour.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Tinkoff plan A blown to pieces (Just go full gas over last few climbs)

Astana can just sit back.

Tinkoff need to pull back Kwia ?

 

[Broth3r]

Even with the Talansky group, that's half the peloton already shed.

Promising.

 

[l.Harm]

Too bad nobody wants to ride first part of the peloton.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Nice race developing now - not bad for a Monday

Oh Contador is fine in bad weather, it's just that Nibali's best rides often happen in ****ty weather conditions

 

[l.Harm]

But it's always him who's allowed to. In Dauphinee and same thing in tour.

You can't control The Beast

They're both good at it, Contador and Nibali both proven to be excellent at it. We were praying it last year cause of the TA stage that happened that year lol

 

[LaFlorecita]

Tinkoff plan A blown to pieces (Just go full gas over last few climbs)

Astana can just sit back.

Tinkoff need to pull back Kwia ?

Nah. Kwiatkowski isn't a good enough climber to pose a threat to AC.

 

[l.Harm]

Mollema in second group, how's that possible with so many Belkin in the front group

 

[Taxus4a]

But it's always him who's allowed to. In Dauphinee and same thing in tour.

It is not to be allowed, ot to have that powerfull, he is the third man of the tream, Fulgsang must have to that attacks of the final climb, and others riders must stay close to Nibali and work at the begining, Westra is the man for get a breakaway like this, strong, but no so powerfull in the climbs as Fulgsang.


We are going to see a VERY GOOD STAGE TODAY

 

[Cimber]

They're both good at it, Contador and Nibali both proven to be excellent at it. We were praying it last year cause of the TA stage that happened that year lol

Contador is fine in bad weather but he did get whipped by Nibali last year in TA in cold and rain. Also the cold (after his own statement) prevented him from attacking JRod in the Basque Tour on the hardest stage.

Contador is fine in bad weather, Nibali is a beast in bad weather.

However, the forecasts suggest that it will clear up by the time the riders reach the finish area

 

[webbie146]

Nah. Kwiatkowski isn't a good enough climber to pose a threat to AC.

I agree nothing to worry about here.

 

[Arredondo]

According to the NOS, no live images of the final climb due to the mist. Only from the cameras in the last km

I went back and did the freeze frame on the line

Voeckler held on by about 6 inches. Jury got it right. Rodriguez might have won if he'd not gone so wide
