Seems really boring. They just look at each other the whole time

If Contador comes to the Tour in great form, it won't be boring. Even last year(when he wasn't so hot), he tried something. He loves to put on a show, he talks alot about making it interesting for the fans, and I'm sure he won't just sit around watching the entire time.

Great job by Tjay today. I'm glad to see him and Talansky doing well. Maybe the US will have some future GT wins....

Hopefully they take the video from the camera and package a replay as it would be great to see how this stage unfolded.

Radio Tour (The real race radio) said there were attacks by Barguil, Contador, and Froome......but I did not hear of how TJ got away. Most were shocked when he cross the line first.

I think he and Bardet sneaked away when the others looked at each other.

Porte is still more beatable :p :D

On the other hand Sky with their money might not be so vulnerable in the future as in this July. (unless they withdrow Porte from Giro and start another super trooper "marginal gain" secret training in May-June. ;).

And unfortuantely Giro is stil "only" Giro. (Do not take me wrong. I prefer Giro&Vuelta to Tour. )

For climbers, yes. For GT GC, no. Purito isn't a winner.

A winner in terms of GC's? Yes you're right. Purito is just a pure classic rider. He's a ''made'' GC-rider. A damn good one, but he's not as regular as someone like Nibali.

But he's got less bad days now. And this week he will win Catalunya, and in May the Giro, so wait after the Giro;)
