Re: Re:

So, Sagan or Martin for yellow?

I think Dumoulin can climb better than Martin.

Dumoulin has abandoned after the crash.

 

[rick james]

christ, Richie Porte is there

 

[perico]

Re: Re:

Apparently Purito is banged up from the crash, but not enough to miss out on the split.

Is that from the crash he had yesterday, or did he get caught up again today?

He crashed again today

 

[Happy dude]

Martin getting his deserved yellow?

That's a shame, he hasn't had much luck with crashes in the last couple of years.

Dumoulin is at the nearest hospital.

Didn't realize!

Twice because riders strikes
Once when Casartelli was mortally injured

Unoffically but also when Cance neutralized the stage overFrank's inability to descend.

It wasn't Cancellara's fault the rest of the peloton were stupid enough to go along with him.
Except one brave guy who dared to sprint IIRC...[/quote]
Chavanel won that stage and took yellow, right?[/quote]

I think he's talking about Bouet, who sprinted for 2nd place and Cancellara was mad at him.[/quote]

Very mad... I would add. Anyway, you are correct ofc. Just didn´t remember it was Bouet

Giving Rowe/Thomas/Stannard a break before tomorrow?

Re: Re:

Valgren thinks that Sagan have a better chance winning than Contador today.

I'm picking Sagan as well.

Interesting. I must say that i've been impressed that he always seems to at the front on the steep hills, but i've not seen him be able to accelerate when they big guys go. He usually sits up and do his own tempo.

I recall a couple of years ago while riding for Liquigas/Cannondale, along with Nibali, at Tirreno-Adriatico that he was quite impressive on a stage that had a fairly steep climb to the finish. Controversy insued when he actually took the stage win after a failed Nibali attack that Sagan, if my memory serves me, led Nibali's rivals past him in his successful effort to win the stage. He attempted to make up for his mistake in the following stages though, but the display of climbing strength on a relatively short/steep, winding climb was quite impressive.

Re:

Who's going to be in Yellow after today now Cancs off the back? Sagan?

Tony

Theyre there but have backed off a little.

Be nice if Purito could win the stage

 

[AICA ribonucleotide]

Can Froome crash at the same corner he did in April?

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

TJVG was off the back. I guess he won't be contesting for the GC after all...

 

[woodburn]

Time bonuses at the finish?

 

[Catwhoorg]

After Tony, its Sagan @30s and G @32s behind him

He should be able to limit his losses and hold yellow.

 

[infeXio]

Re:

10, 6, 4

It’s a different Sagan. I also remember Sagan climb a long hill with 10” to Cunego, catching him the descent and beating him at the Tour de Suisse.

Could be crucial.

Kwiatkowski pulling himself, not a single Etixx jersey in front of him.
