Astana "destroyed" the peloton today

 

[go crazy]

Uh oh, Talansky group falling back into the AC group. Maybe they'll regroup once it all comes together.

 

[Hmmmmm]

Wow, I can't remember the last time I was this excited about watching the first week of the TdF.

Nibali in the front group? Fantastic to see the Maillot Jaune at the front over these types of roads in these conditions.

 

[Publicus]

just beautiful racing. this is why you race the race. This race is far, far from over. Though Contador is going to have to really work to overhaul a 2'+ advantage. Jeebus it's now out to 2'20

 

[happytramp]

My hearts in my mouth right now. Crazy.

 

[Eclipse]

Big ride by G, shame he didn't have the freedom to race for a win today

 

[l.Harm]

Nibs needs to tell Boom if he works the stage is his.

He won't do it. Next section attack and they won't see him again.

 

[Walkman]

Porte going nuclear!

 

[cantalupe]

The GC winners to cobble specialists transformation continues. Dibs on Nibs to win RVV&P-R double next season.

 

[Afrank]

this is beyond epic. Nibali to keep the yellow until....

2018. : D
............

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Other than Froome, Contador is the big loser today.

 

[ILovecycling]

Alberto and his famous cap

 

[infeXio]

A Contador forced on the attack in the mountains.. oh boy, going to be good!

 

[burning]

Westra is gone

 

[Eclipse]

Westra is blown after burying himself

 

[lenric]

What an awesome rider Nibali is, the reincarnation of Vinokourov.

I bet Nibali will sing to Contador and Froome this:

[Miburo]

Holy ****, nibali is ridiculously good!!!

I thought Contador can take easily 2 min back on nibali, but seeing how well he rides....

 

[Dutchsmurf]

Other than Froome, Contador is the big loser today.

Why only Contador? The way I see it, there is 1 winner and everyone else lost big.

 

[ILovecycling]

Nibali is going for this alone
I love it

 

[dduff442]

Right this moment, betfair has Contator and Nibbles joint favourites for Paris at 2.54 (around 6/4).

Third favourite? Richie Porte @ 12.0.

ಠ_ಠ

 

[sjonnie]

Westra blown up?

 

[Justico]

ridiculous Astana

 

[ILovecycling]

Why only Contador? The way I see it, there is 1 winner and everyone else lost big.

2,Kwiatkowski is somewhere near Nibali

 

[Miburo]

Other than Froome, Contador is the big loser today.

You mean nibali is the big winner.

Everyone else that lost is with Contador.

 

[King Boonen]

He won't do it. Next section attack and they won't see him again.

Probably. Worth a go though.
