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

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Nibali stomping a HUGE gear.

**** cadence

Which place does Majka have to come in to keep polka dot? (Assuming Nibbles wins).

 

[Rollthedice]

How much time will Valverde gain on Pinot in the ITT?

Not much if any. Pinot improved a lot this year.

 

[GuyIncognito]

How much time will Valverde gain on Pinot in the ITT?

He can gain two minutes, lose two minutes or anything inbetween
Valverde doing a time trial you might as well roll dice to decide the time he does.

So Majka isn't closing in, but losing ground. P &P just said he has to finish 3rd to keep the jersey.

EDIT: they just corrected themselves. 6th

6th place
...........

 

[AICA ribonucleotide]

Majka is gonna lose the jersey

Majka needs to slow down and then sprint for 2nd. He does not need to kill himself!!

6th - which seems very plausible

 

[Warhawk]

Per the Tour Tracker:

With 4km to go, Nibali is 30 seconds ahead of Nibali.

Impressive.

 

[wirral]

LOL at Zubeldia anonymous as ever clinging on to the Valverde group.

Which place does Majka have to come in to keep polka dot? (Assuming Nibbles wins).

6th. So he has 30second advantage with 3km to go, but suffering (according to live ticker)

He can't sprint. At all.

 

[the_cutter]

Majka will keep the jersey, he will finish before 6th place. Valverde is fighting hard though, Pinot needs still more time. Peraud attack any time soon.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Nibali is humiliating the peloton here.

 

[Afrank]

Per the Tour Tracker:



Impressive.

Damn, Nibali is so good he beats himself.

Majka about to get caught by Pinot, TJVG, and Peraud.

 

[sultanofhyd]

Majka has the jersey. Valverde group is not gonna catch him.

 

[dduff442]

Valverde looks to be around 30 secs back on Pinot etc.

 

[webvan]

Perraud's wheelsucking is getting almost as annoying as Valvpitti's, hope he gets dropped!

 

[Dutchsmurf]

Nibali is humiliating the peloton here.

How is it humiliating. The gap isn't really increasing anymore.

 

[R_O_Shipman]

Credit to TJVG - where did this mountain form come from?

Mind you they said the same about an old shoe yesterday.

 

[Publicus]

Kudos to Valverde for continuing to fight. I bet Majka is going to ride with the group of chasers and then sprint away in the last km

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Majka waiting now
