2014 Tour de France, Stage 16: Carcassonne–Bagnères-de-Luchon (237.5 Km)

[Arnout]

Bardet towed by the smallest guy in the peloton.

 

[JimPanzen]

Not a chance, Pinot should take it from Bardet.

Kwiat will get his *** handed to him tomorrow anyway....and I think he knows it.

Peraud might be a tdf contender in a few years when he hits his prime

 

[Vino's Mum]

Where's Nibali?

Peraud might be a tdf contender in a few years when he hits his prime

Peraud versus Horner for Tour victory in 2019.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Pinot and Peraud dropped because of a smart move from Movistar

 

[Publicus]

My guess is that Majka is going to take another shot at a stage win. Tinkoff's team is VERY strong. It's a pity we didn't get to see what Contador could have done on these stages. Next year can't get here fast enough.

 

[Miburo]

Conclusions of the day:

-Pinot will be in 1/2 years a serious contender for GT's. Well he already is but no quint/froome and contador
-Saxo really strong team
-Nibali his gears are really bad

 

[Afrank]

Nibs and Movistar duo riding away from the others.

 

[Oldman]

Poor Little Prince...second on the longest stage. Too bad; hope he put on his best face of total exhaustion for the cameras. Nice for Mr. Rogers, though.

 

[woodburn]

Big day for Valverde. Likely secured spot on podium.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Pinot gets back on!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Gotta just love the descending of Vincenzo

 

[Jagartrott]

GvA so f*** close!

Story of his carreer so far...

 

[trevim]

Nice job from Roy. I hope Pinot takes one tomorrow!

 

[trevim]

Story of his carreer so far...

Ahah that much is true

-Pinot will be in 1/2 years a serious contender for GT's.

You can't know that. People always say a guy will improve just because he's young. A lot of them don't. We can only be sure when we see him riding up there.

 

[ILovecycling]

Yes Mick!!!! TS soooo strong......

Saxo's three pronged stage hunting strategy working great. Roche is up next.

Excellent Riis tactics too,whole team is great.

Conclusions of the day:

-Pinot will be in 1/2 years a serious contender for GT's. Well he already is but no quint/froome and contador
-Saxo really strong team
-Nibali his gears are really bad

The las point is hillarious

thats true,otoh he climbs better than 2012

 

[GroupDK]

Rodgers played perfectly.. and took advantage of his TT skils..

Saxo Tinkoof ' nice comeback after there main objective Contador was out.

2 stagewins and also 2 seond Places, all on mauntain-stages, plus the mauntain jersey to Majka.

if kreyziger and contador was here, would without a doubt be the strongest pro tour team here..

 

[Hayabusa]

Konig here out of nowhere!

 

[thrawn]

Konig returns. Top descent.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

König dropped the group Ten Dam in the downhill. So König might enter the top 6. Van Garderen is nowhere after all

 

[GuyIncognito]

thats true,otoh he climbs better than 2012

Absolutely. We just can't know at any point if he'll improve more or keep the level

 

[Escarabajo]

Peraud might be a tdf contender in a few years when he hits his prime

I know. Just look at Horner!
