2014 Tour de France, Stage 9: Gerardmer – Mulhouse: 170km

[trevim]

Martin definitely not waiting around for De Marchi, what a magnificent beast

 

[uconnryan]

Tony Gallopin is the virtual leader of the Tour de France.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

This stage has all the excitement of watching paint dry.

 

[Arredondo]

Targeting the KOM matches perfectly with going for a stage win. Nice to see a big climber like him showing interest in it.

 

[Netserk]

This stage has all the excitement of watching paint dry.

Was quite exciting the first 30km, which we didn't get to see....

Please dont quote scum like gallagher. He got it from the es feed anyway as Roche said it in commentary.

 

[whittashau]

That's not even what Roche said. He said Contador was told their was 4+1 ahead or something, and just forgot about the 1

Bee sting for De Marchi?

Yeah it appears so. Hope he's not allergic...

 

[luckyboy]

Never heard of that guy before, someone just retweeted him. I was out painting a fence for my gran during the interview

 

[murali]

Bee sting for De Marchi?

is tht why he was shaking his hand.

(i m watching french feed. no idea wht the commentators r saying)

 

[Marco Pantani]

Countdown for Rolland, Gautier, Purito move ticking down.
Gallopin and others will go too.

It's not won for Tony yet.

It's almost 3 minutes now

 

[Marco Pantani]

Yep and 64 kms to go.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Yep and 64 kms to go.

They're not gonna bring Martin back in the last 40km

 

[Marco Pantani]

They're not gonna bring Martin back in the last 40km

But maybe inside those kms.

They will go hard up Markstein and Ballon, lets wait for the gap at the top then.

 

[Tournesol]

Greg van Avermaet is so attack minded like the commentators are saying,hope he lands a big classic one day,sometimes not great tactically maybe but really hope he becomes a big champion eventually,superb rider on any given day.

 

[Alcanelo]

Nobody gives a flying f*ck about the poetry...

 

[AICA ribonucleotide]

Tony Martin has this. He'll gain another minute on the 22k descent.

He'll blow up on Le Markstein

He really looks like blowing up

 

[roundabout]

The gap has come down though

 

[uconnryan]

Gap coming down. 2'20" now

 

[roundabout]

And gone...

 

[uconnryan]

Martin attacks
