Is Bouhanni in the lead group? Thx in advance...

 

[Roude Leiw]

they should move to the left to close it again...

 

[Miburo]

Was that Froome who just took a pull?!?

Yep, in an echelon it's the best if you pull too to be safe.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Was that Froome who just took a pull?!?

why is that a surprise.. even contador and quintana are pulling themselves

 

[Coat-O]

Was that Froome who just took a pull?!?

Yeah. Even Quintana took a pull.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Did the entire Garmin team miss the split?

 

[Roude Leiw]

Is Bouhanni in the lead group? Thx in advance...

yes..........,,,

 

[No_Balls]

I understand from the ticker that Paulinho went for bonus seconds at the intermediate sprint to stop Froome getting them

AC callling out favours. Wonder if the brat can do the same.

 

[l.Harm]

not sure, hesjedal and talansky, but don't see him at all

yeah somehow I thought he was 101. Apparently not.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

yes..........,,,

Really? Would be great... I try to look for him. I don´t see him. I hope you are right... You saw him (No 91)?

 

[Roude Leiw]

martin os in the front group

WTF? Paulinho's one of Contador's teammates. It's hardly calling out a favour if you ask one of your teammates to do it.

When did Froome become a fearsome sprinter at the intermediates anyway? It's not like Tirreno-Adriatico a few years ago when Androni tried to protect Scarponi's lead from Garzelli at the intermediates, but Garzelli was too good at sprinting and picked up enough to get the GC win on countback.

yes, he seems the only fdj though, no Jeannessom and no Soupe

 

[Coat-O]

Sky is putting the hammer down.

 

[icefire]

LOL Quintana sheltered behind Boonen and Cancelara

You've right. I mixed him up with another guy

I dont think Froome is considered a "fearsome sprinter". Its just that he seems perfectly fine with jumping at every opportunities. The others doesnt seem that eager but take note since every seconds counts and they dont know how he will fare in the mountains.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

yes, he seems the only fdj though, no Jeannessom and no Soupe

Thanks... I hope he´ll have enough power to at least finish Top-3.

First two groups have joined.

Things are calming down.

 

[Stromeon]

Bah wind not strong enough

 

[Coat-O]

30 seconds to the 2. group. 1-2 min to the 3. group.

 

[Red Rick]

Is Aru there?

 

[LittleJo]

30 seconds to the 2. group. 1-2 min to the 3. group.

I thought the front two groups had merged now. So there are only 2 groups now??

 

[Stromeon]

Is Aru there?

Yep.

10 chars

 

[roundabout]

Now it's on

 

[Samson777]

Enough wind! Quintana under pressure
