2014 Tour de France, Stage 18: Pau–Hautacam (145.5 Km)

[go crazy]

It's Froome-like! LOL!

 

[burning]

What placing does Majka need if Nibali wins?

6th
............

 

[Rollthedice]

So it was true what some said that he would have beaten Froome?

 

[Hayabusa]

What placing does Majka need if Nibali wins?

3rd place required

Edit: Seems to be 6th, serves me right for trusting ITV!

 

[perico]

This is like 2001 dominance. Sorry for the comparison, but that's the last time I can remember a total domination like this.

 

[trevim]

Majka panicking. He is going to blow it.

I agree, he's being too naif here. At this point he could just be following wheels. Maybe he's out to prove he isn't a wheelsucker

 

[Afrank]

What placing does Majka need if Nibali wins?

6th place.

What placing does Majka need if Nibali wins?

Second yes

 

[GuyIncognito]

So it was true what some said that he would have beaten Froome?

No, according to veloclinic's data

 

[dduff442]

Majka must be strong as well. He's not under so much pressure that he needs to go now, so it's his choice.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Nibali is suffering more now then in the entire Tour

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Vincenzo Cannibali

 

[Cance > TheRest]

3rd place required

6th* .....

 

[maxmartin]

This Nibali's first maximum effort on a climb this Tour?

Nah you can only get to maximum when you are pushed

 

[senatorrick]

Y? It's him against boys

 

[Afrank]

Second yes

Points are doubled for finishes.

 

[Eshnar]

How is that? Contador was the leader, nibali was like 3rd, if contador has the legs to go and put more distance how is that disrespectful? lol

I'm just reporting what Nibs said. AC didn't pull a metre for the whole climb and then attacked him at 1 km to go or so, then yes, he also slowed down to be almost caught and sprinted again.
In any case, not what Nibs is doing today.

 

[Publicus]

Y?? It's racing

Because he's just being greedy. No reason to take a possible win away from Nieve. Or to ride down Horner. They mean NOTHING to him from the overall and he has an insurmountable lead in GC.

I dunno if this "win" is going to be worth it in the long run. The peloton has a long memory.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Nibali is suffering more now then in the entire Tour

Indeed. Nibali is working so hard, he's finally breathing from both nostrils.

 

[Miburo]

Nibali is suffering more now then in the entire Tour

He suffered the most in that 1.5 km climb against Contador

 

[Pricey_sky]

Majka saving his Polka dots here, only 18 seconds clear of Valverde group though.

 

[Fzotrlool]

Idiotic selfie girl on the road.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

This is not the time to make phone calls you dumb women

Gifted wins mean nothing.
