[whittashau]

Machado for yellow! Calling it again, I semi-did before the stage started too.

 

[glassmoon]

Wonder whether Astana would give up the yellow bourdain to rolland/machado or they consider them too dangerous fot such tactics

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Surely they don't consider Machado dangerous and rightly so. Rolland they can let go as well although not with as much a lead as Machado obviously.

 

[Arredondo]

And you guys were laughing on me

Hey hey, i put him as the biggest contender in the mountains-jersey threat

 

[sultanofhyd]

They won't be dangerous after all the effort they will have put in today to be in a position to take yellow.

Astana lead bunch.

 

[Arredondo]

Groupe Machado and Groupe Chava/Purito are back together

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Hey hey, i put him as the biggest contender in the mountains-jersey threat

He's got 2 pts so far. Today isn't very important for the KOM comp

 

[glassmoon]

They won't be dangerous after all the effort they will have put in today to be in a position to take yellow.

That sounds pretty logical to me... But looks like astana is riding quite intense pace. That's what i was wondering about.

 

[ILovecycling]

Hey hey, i put him as the biggest contender in the mountains-jersey threat

Okey dokey

 

[The Hitch]

lol @ timing. 2.50- 1.30 - 2.06

 

[ILovecycling]

That sounds pretty logical to me... But looks like astana is riding quite intense pace. That's what i was wondering about.

Yeah,pretty interesting,maybe they are worried about paulinho and dani navarro

 

[Alcanelo]

Are Astana gonna wear themselves out for tomorrow?

 

[whittashau]

why the hell is Astana riding so quickly?

 

[JRTK73]

Looks like Gallopin is in the break?

 

[Netserk]

Looks like Gallopin is in the break?

[MBotero]

Astana are really stupid they should let them go,in the moment the gap will be dangerous for Tinkoff,Sky or Movistar these guys will start chasing.

 

[Netserk]

And they're on the third climb of the day

 

[Hugo87]

Machado is mad with breakaway mates.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Yeah,pretty interesting,maybe they are worried about paulinho and dani navarro

Navarro the new Tiralongo?
