Nibali might have something to say after this stage...

Re:

Could you imagine the abuse on here if Froome used the cars like Nibali just did!

Nibali already got his dose of uproar at the 2013 WR.

 

[seldon71]

Definitely Lottos (incl. Gallopin, Greipel) in 1st group.

Re:

Forum meltdown if Froome was drafting behind Sky car like Nibali was behind Astana car

Beat me to it

 

[Pricey_sky]

Come on Sky send Stan to the front and just let G watch Froome!!!

Would be about 50 idiots screaming for a DQ

 

[spalco]

Tinkoff lets sagan make the work. I am not sure if that is clever

Re: Re:

The MJ group is taking back major time. Margins at the end will be tiny.

They took 10-15 second in 20 km - a 30-40 sec gap to Contador/Froome is still huge.

They took 10 -15 seconds back since the junction was made. They might get closer to 20. But even 30 isn't that big a deal. Most Tours are won by more than 3 minutes. Its exceptionally rare for the final result to come down to 30 seconds.

Is it cheating if other cars let him draft behind them? He drafted other cars more than his.

Re:

so, sky will sit all day long and ride on pointless stages, but when they can gain time on their biggest rival they do nothing..

One word: Idiots.

Without their watt-machines they would have to race Bonga-Bossa-whatever in Africa in February...

Yea it is, gc more important than stage or green. Every sec counts.

Besides i doubt he could beat cav or greipel.

 

[zalacain]

Race radio says 1min again

 

[BlackWhiteEagle]

So, stage win and yellow for Etixx?

 

[Jancouver]

As always, the motorbikes will help to close the gap and it will all once again come together ...

What do you expect them to do? Brake test him?

 

[Rollthedice]

Sagan, the most expensive dom in the world.

With SKY on free ride, they have to commit to it fully

Re:

Yes, barring the classic late Cancellara attack.

lol @ Sagan having to get on the front and do some work for Contador. I guess there's not much faith in him actually beating Cav

What else do you expect Nibali to do but draft?

Front group runs like clockwork. Don't think they will be under a minute in the end.
