Re:

Contador doesn't look comfortable, shifting around on his seat constantly.

The time is decent though at the time check.

 

[the sceptic]

Quintana is the big winner here

Looks like movistar did a great job by starting Quintana early

Re:

hey! could be a lot worse

 

[Gigs_98]

purito 1.5 minutes down. I really didnt expect such big time gaps on 13 km´s

 

[rm7]

Nibali only 11 sec!!!

 

[infeXio]

Nibali +11

That's his style.

Spartacus philosophical..

 

[the sceptic]

Nibali!!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Purito loses ~20s to Quintana

Re:

Anyone know why Valverde started after Quintana? Worried about wind?

Quintana chose to go early as did alot of the Lotto Jumbo riders and they made the best decision as wind came up in second half

Ice baby. Works wonders.

 

[Irondan]

Nibs radio is going to cost him a few seconds at least..

 

[AICA ribonucleotide]

Astana have this!

 

[Gigs_98]

froomes riding style really hurts in the eyes

Re:

It’s fast. He should have great cornering skills for the second part

 

[the sceptic]

I knew the ice-vest would be a great marginal gain

Re: Re:

The ice vest effect.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Pretty obvious wind change. Simon Yates is a world beater, but he shouldn't be basically matching TVG on this sort of course.

 

[rm7]

Van Garderen only 19 sec better than Quintana. Expected better.

 

[Miburo]

Quintana and nibali big winners of this stage

Re:

Lol I've seen pretty much every rider with an ice vest today. What is this about?
