2015 Tour de France Stage 11: Pau › Cauterets

[Boleslav]

Will we see an attack from Nibali down on Col d'Aspin? Is there any other reason for Grivko to stay "in the middle"? Grivko seems to cycle too fast to just be sliding back the peloton again.

Anyone with a stream? Steephill hates me.

Dan Martin bridging across, 1:13 now

Try cyclingfans. I'm watching on ITV4 player but guessing you can't get that.

 

[Pantani Attacks]

Ricco territory now

 

[Andro]

Only 55 seconds for Dan Martin now. Still 4.5 km left of Aspin, so he should catch them before the top.

Well Nibali has today and 3 Alpine stages to attack on a descent close to the finish [16, 17, 18 ] - but it has been a long time since he has done a banzaii descent . . . ?

Outstanding ride by Martin.

Can anyone explain to me why Demare is in the break?!

He was on the attack on the descent in the national championships

Majka's form was **** coming into this, wasn't it? We know Buchmann came in with form and we know Pauwels is riding well. Pauwels finished 3 minutes behind Froome yesterday or something like that and Buchmann finished 6 minutes behind. I can see one of Pauwels or Buchmann winning this stage. If Majka attacks on the Tourmalet, then those two will probably be able to go with him. I"m not sure Majka will win this stage.

Majka was in the yellow jersey group with < 20 riders left yesterday. He's obviously got some form but soft-pedalled the finish. I'd be concerned Pauwels went too deep yesterday

Re:

Astana getting shelled from break and peloton, whats up with them?

In the old times it was called food poisoning

Excellent OP. Probably a breakaway stays away. Voeckler is starting to look feisty again. 26th on Stage 10.

I don't think the breakaway have enough time yet, but I'm glad to see Tommy V was able to make the group.

Pulling for Morabito.

Chapeau Dan Martin

Noone is gonna chase. The break has this in the bag for sure.

 

[King Boonen]

Martins up to the break. Great riding!

Deux contrôles positifs au dernier championnat d'Italie selon @tuttobiciweb_it. Tu flippes Reda ?

Lets see how the weather will affect the stage.

Ok but in what way is he pulling? Presumably hes dropped now so wont be any use from here. Did he work on the front to get the break away initially? maybe he was trying to stay with the break over the aspin but it doesnt look like thats gonna happen unless he can somehow catch up on the descent

This and he pulled in the first km's of the Aspin.

Bardet, go home son. This is useless

 

[DBotero]

All AGR team is sick or Bardet crashed on the climb

 

[Vroome.exe]

Bardet and Cavendish going neck and neck
