be realistic Jens, ofc Andy will win, but it would be nice if someone else got a chance of winning races once in a while indeed

The Steppers got four left working for Martin:

Steegmans
Cav
Trentin
Velits

The competition can get rid of all of them on the next climb if they have any balls.

Fair play to those four for still being there

I think Tinkoff, Lampre and Belkin will help Quickstep if it comes to that. Neither Zaugg or Vanmarcke have a big enough chance to win the stage that they can risk Morabito to take many minutes.

The cycling news live coverage ticker whatever you want to call it hasn't had an update in seven minutes I don't understand there's nothing to report even a kilometer report or time gap report they just say nothing for seven minutes

Trentin clearly has something to pay back after his stage win. Cavendish even more after all these years with quality lead outs from Martin. And they're team mates so it's their job really.

Not doubting their motivation. More surprised that they got over the Cat 1 and Cat 2 or that some other teams haven't been able to get rid of them

Boaro, Knees and Kuchynski have been dropped from the leading group immediately on the start of the 2nd last climb.

That's a good point, they could have dropped them with a harder pace on the first climbs. But I guess nobody wanted to burn those matches.

The only problem is Morabito is probably not as good as Talansky, but that's offset by the fact that Martin is no Contador either :p
