Re:

Not a single attack the entire climb.

There were, they just didn't stick. Britton doesn't look ok descending there, unusual.

Nvmind, he's up front now.

Bookwalter ftw.

I don't know, I didn't see a single attack. Who did you see?

Re: Re:

Why doesn't Woods attack? He is just pushing a steady pace. I don't get it.

He likely sees it as futile and is saving himself a podium spot. It's understandable in his case. That and, as Sam said, fancying himself a stage win. He's the fastest there.

Yes but he is the only one working (ok Berhane did a couple pulls) and is spending a lot of energy dragging other riders with him. Now there are more then 10 riders together and he is vulnerable to attacks (for a stage win). If he had attacked and isolated a group of 3-4 riders it would have been much easier to control the finale. The overall podium would have been saved, too.

The two Lachlan's. Plus Berhane's high tempo.

Bglergh the Tour Tracker is bonkers, keeps freezing and delaying.

Now that the stage gets decided my stream doesnt work anymore

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Woods crashes!

 

[BigMac]

Now that the stage gets decided my stream doesnt work anymore

Yeah, mine froze too. Lol. Norris won, Mikey Woods crashed. 3k rule.

 

[Aristarchus]

The stream died for me as the sprint was happening.

 

[De Snelle Duif]

Stream unfroze right in time to see Lachlan's fist in the air. Bookwalter has finished top10 in all but one stage.

 

[RedheadDane]

Just as the sprint starts the tracker goes wonkers.
There's Woods having some sort of problem.
And... Berhane winning the sprint in the chase-group.

Does the 3k rule count in a mountain stage? I think that doesnt make much sense but okay, good for him. Btw, did schleck loose his podium place?

 

[jaylew]

Meh, crappy stage but congrats to Dombro. Did Bookwalter steal a podium place?

 

[BigMac]

Yeah I think Bookwalter got himself third.

It's not a MTF so 3k rule in effect.

 

[DBotero]

Not a great stage,i was expecting more action.Anyway good job for Dombrowski to win this race.

 

[DNP-Old]

So, what were you guys doing when you were 19 years old?

 

[jaylew]

Dombro keeping his powder dry for the Vuelta today.

There is a HC climb 8 kilometers before the finish and the 3k rule ist there so crashes in bunch sprints aren't that dangerous for gc riders, but the rule is still in effect. I don't get this rule

I think you're right. Final showed Dombrowski, Bookwalter, and Schleck.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Dombro could probably have put at least 30 sec into the rest again today, but somewhat wisely decided not to, altho I think everybody (including myself) wanted to see that. At least that was why i turned the stream on. Looking forward to seeing him in the Vuelta, he is an extremely pure climber of an American.

Anyways, that 19 year old Columbian seems interesting! He should do Avenir, no?

 

[DNP-Old]

 

[trevim]

Really really happy for Dombrowski! Hopefully all the bad luck is behind him now and he can shine in Europe For now I'm OK if he gets through the Vuelta healthy and with no crashes; it should do wonders for his shape.

I never really cared for US races but Ruben Guerreiro, Joe Dombrowski and Schleck really made me happy again after a miserable Tour and disappointing Volta a Portugal!

He is riding l'Avenir.
