Mollema was dropped there. Funny, the dutch euro commentator thought it was Mollema of Belkin there, but it was only Gesink.

 

[De Snelle Duif]

Attack by Gilbert and Vanendert?

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Amets!!

 

[UselessToo]

Amets! What a surprise!

 

[De Snelle Duif]

Wow, what a fail attack by Gilbert! C'mon Amets!

So sagan has a tell and it's when he takes a glug of water & spits it out? Did it at strade-bianche & y'day. Kirby is awesome. #insightfulgenius

 

[manafana]

what a lovely climb that was fantastic scenery too. Crowd bit mental thou

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Betancurt dropped. No surprise there with his knee injury

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I definately didn't see Mollema

 

[Arredondo]

I think Mollema is dropped.

If it's true, it means he's in serious difficulties

 

[BigMac]

I definately didn't see Mollema

He was near Costa in the third group to pass the summit.

 

[JRanton]

Kennaugh dropped.

 

[l.Harm]

Saw him there as well, but that's a while ago.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

He was near Costa in the third group to pass the summit.

Has Costa returned??

 

[ferryman]

Are the Schlecks still there?

 

[Parrulo]

Wait, Costa was dropped 40k from the finish? By how many?

Nice

 

[BigMac]

Has Costa returned??

He's in the small Lampre train behind Movistar and Tinkoff. Hope Mollema's there as well.

 

[BigMac]

Wait, Costa was dropped 40k from the finish? By how many?

Nice

He had been riding in the back of the peloton which is unusual but he got back.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

TGBM 2 minutes behind apparently......

 

[BigMac]

TGBM 2 minutes behind apparently......

Well that sucks. He might be in G2 30'' behind.

Ciclismo a Fondo ‏@Ciclismoafondo_

Control en el pelotón del @tinkoff_saxo y dificultades para @tonymartin85 @cabg1989 y Luis León Sánchez #itzulia

in difficulty...

 

[Parrulo]

Well my prediction is Costa to finish second

 

[Arredondo]

Mollema is in the first group, number 111

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

He is now, but he wasn't before the commercial break.
Believe me, both Mollema and Costa were dropped and had to chase back. Now I don't know if that was because they couldn't do better, or because of bad placing.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Mollema is in the first group, number 111

That would be nice! I'm not even watching tbh, biciciclismo said Mollema was 2 min behind and they're usually a trustworthy source of info.
