Could Bala drop them all downhill?

Ha, ha, I knew it all along. Valverde the backstabber, once a backstabber, always a backstabber. Movistar will be split into factions.

How is this backstabbing?

 

[sultanofhyd]

He has 22 seconds

Eh? This has nothing to do with backstabbing lol.

 

[Fzotrlool]

Valverde is doing all the work for once.

 

[Miburo]

Nice one from piti but don't think he'll make it.

 

[hfer07]

Valpiti to reach glory today

 

[BigMac]

I'm wet. 10 char.

 

[BeagRigh]

This is more like it. Who would have put money on Valverde being the one to provide the excitement today!!

I did- just read my first comment on this Thread

 

[sultanofhyd]

He is not going to make it.

 

[Rollthedice]

He is not going to make it.

But it's exciting.

 

[Miburo]

Valverde is screwed, nice effort but he got unlucky with the riders he had with him and the fact that many teams have an interest to chase.

 

[Walkman]

I think Valverde is starting to realise the possibilities of riding with Quintana. He doesn't have to worry with GC anymore and attack whenever he feels like it

Or he wants the jersey again in order to be protected on the first mountain stage.

I would like the leading 4 to make it but it's impossible.

 

[sultanofhyd]

Contador is alone

 

[hmpower]

Did geogre Bennett make the group over climb?

 

[Walkman]

I would like the leading 4 to make it but it's impossible.

You know you are in a crappy group when piti is the most active one. It's like the anti Jens Voigt group.

 

[icefire]

Sicard punctures!

 

[Fzotrlool]

Romain Sicard has a big gap to the chasers.

 

[Fzotrlool]

Moreno lost the chain?

 

[Walkman]

Is Evans back in the main group?

 

[Walkman]

Moreno lost the chain?

That wasn't Moreno…?

 

[Fzotrlool]

Who was the Katusha rider who lost the chain?

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

It's a shame there's too many people left to chase and that matthews didn't drop, now it was very difficult/close to impossible
