2014 Tour de France, Stage 11: Besançon - Oyonnax (187.5 km)

[phanatic]

he is rumor is Tinkoff

Rogers should have pulled for him then.

 

[maxmartin]

Losing 1:30 to a group full of sprinters . . . awful

a week stage racer, 11 days is out of his limit

 

[Pricey_sky]

Gallopin attacks. Nobody follows him.

Sagan attacks. Everybody follows him.

Of course because he's strong, but also wouldn't be surprised if it's something to do with his attitude and cockiness. Riders don't like his celebrations and behaviour so stop him winning.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

If Sagan doesn't win today, he'll be smashing the team bus to pieces.

Actually, he only smashed his bike

 

[willbick]

bit harsh on cannondale. must be very hard at the end of a tough hilly stage to have guys capable of pulling back every guy who takes a flier off the select front group

 

[Arnout]

He seems to be worse every time regarding tactics. It's his fault for showing his hand too early and trying to show off on the descents instead of commit to a single, flat out attack. Rui Costa looses 1.30 minutes, bad day after the rest?

If he doesn't others will ride away and the peloton will stop, that's the problem of not having a team and everyone wanting to beat Sagan.

 

[hfer07]

Gallopin did a masterpiece whereas Sagan is lately relying on others to bridge the gap for him, when he should know by now that nobody will carry him a single meter closer to the line to be out sprinted....

silly Sagan

Sagan attacks. Everybody follows him.

Haha, so true. Sux2bgood.

 

[manafana]

dead proud of Gallopin love to those risk rewarded, Sagan can't keep expecting rogers to work with him on that one Kwia called his bluff too.

 

[Marco Pantani]

Papy is free again.

If they have just one guy there that is able to jump away with a group once or twice, Sagan would've won 2 stages already.

silly Sagan

Not silly...too good. It's been said before, nobody helps him, everybody chases after him.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Losing 1:30 to a group full of sprinters . . . awful

Must have had a mechanical or something. He can't be this bad

 

[Escarabajo]

Papy is free again.

Free for what??

 

[Marco Pantani]

Free for what??

To climb away in the mountains, of course.

 

[Parrulo]

a week stage racer, 11 days is out of his limit

Last years last week disagrees with you.

He just hasn't been able to find his level from last year. It was already visible in Swiss that he was much stronger last year.

 

[phanatic]

Not silly...too good. It's been said before, nobody helps him, everybody chases after him.

He should wait in the group and sprint.

 

[Escarabajo]

How is Talansky going to survive the mountains?

 

[phanatic]

Free for what??

One day like Landis, one like Schleck, one like Bertie, and another to shame them all.

 

[SKSemtex]

Hard to blame the team here.

If he doesn´t close the gap after Kwiatko attack Kwiatko would win easilly.

Unfortunately Kwiatko does not care about second place.

This is cycling. Well played by Gallopin. Nobody can stop all attacks.

Well deserved winner.

 

[Alcanelo]

To climb away in the mountains, of course.

lolololololololololololololol

 

[Netserk]

Really great stage today!

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Great ride by Gallopin!

 

[Lance Armstrong]

He should wait in the group and sprint.

Kwiatek would have won then. Or any other breakaway rider.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Gallopin attacks. Nobody follows him.

Sagan attacks. Everybody follows him.

Sagan should have followed Gallopin - his didn't.
