For 1 second Martin will be very angry tonight

Re:

ITV4 saying Froome 1 second ahead of Martin

poetic justice

 

[thrawn]

Well I hope Quintana, Nibali, and Contador all improve more than Froome by the time they hit the mountains. Make a race of it at least.

Re: Re:

Lol at people saying that Froome is not explosive.

He was NOT explosive. He accelarated in the first half of the Mur and kept his 99999 rpm's until the end.

He followed JRods attack meter by meter. The distance was never above 2 seconds. What are you talking about?

 

[sir fly]

I think we can pull some conclusions about riders' shape, but there's plenty of road before the the GC comes to the form.

 

[Ruby United]

Froome in yellow

11 Seconds gained on Nairito and Nibali

Another 6 bonus seconds

apparently contador about 21 secs behind

 

[l.Harm]

1 second, poor Tony

 

[arvc40]

Race is over for everyone else on GC. In the Physical sense. If Froome stays safe the race is in bag.

 

[Rollthedice]

Vroom in yellow.

 

[rick james]

The dawg in yellow

 

[Warhawk]

Unless someone else high up did a lot better than I thought, I think my quick calculation has:

1. Froome
2. Van Garderen
3. Gallopin
4. Van Avermaet
5. Contador

EDIT: actually looks like Martin hung on to second, and Sagan and Uran are both ahead of Contador. Otherwise right.

 

[AICA ribonucleotide]

Van Garderen in Yellow. Dont listen to Eurosport.

edit nevermind that
The official website is changing all the time
They had TgvG ahead by 4" now its Froome

 

[Akuryo]

So Tony is 2nd in GC behind 3 different riders on 3 different days. So sad he won't get his day in yellow anytime soon it seems.

 

[rhubroma]

Froome in yellow.

 

[Miburo]

Can we somehow blame cav for this too?

Jesus, Dawg in yellow... already.

 

[Sasquatch]

Re:

Froomey fails to win, again

He should crash out tomorrow

 

[pedromiguelmartins]

How's the GC between the 4?

 

[reshp1]

Poor Tony Martin, back to back to back heartbreak.

 

[TMP402]

Froome will surely lose yellow to Sagan tomorrow... unless there's a repeat of 2010 when climbers managed to finish with Cancellara, Thomas and Hushovd.

 

[Carols]

Poor, Poor Tony .

Froome looks Strong, very impressive.

 

[whittashau]

Race over already? Probably. I think the dawg will kill basically everyone, or at least elbow them
