2015 tour de france stage 3, Antwerpen-Hoei 159.5km

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Andy Schleck was second in the flèche wallone 2009, and I think quintana is a very similar rider. So I think its possible that nairo wont even do as bad as everyone expects.

quintana and andy are COMPLETELY different type of riders. still as long as quintana is placed well he won't lose much time. froome will have a harder time on mur

Based on what will Froome do bad? You got a performance of him on a mur like that when he's in top shape? If so then please share.

That is why Froome will not fail (unless he crashes, which ofc could happen to each and every rider).
You know it: Ryo makes a prediction, then it goes the opposite. That led to my T-5 pick for him.

LOLZ.

Re:

So... there are those things on the road and casually the race is neutralized when we get there.

So they obviously didn't learn from earlier in the season, was it at Tour of the Basque Country where they had metal rods sticking out of the road in one of the final turns on a stage that would've ended in a sprint?

 

[Carols]

I'm so happy for Purito!!!!

 

[spalco]

Man, imagine how good Froome's chances would be if he didn't suck so badly at finishes like this.

Froomey fails to win, again

Re:

This is hilarious.

yea hard to be a hater

 

[Ataraxus]

Lol at people saying that Froome is not explosive.

 

[pedromiguelmartins]

I hope Contador gets into shape as the race goes on. After all he didn't train and barely raced after the giro.

Re:

Where was Valverde?!

Not positioned well but just looked like he didn't have the legs or was guiding Nairo.

Re:

Where was Uran?

Involved in crash earlier he finished 34 seconds after leader. Kwiatkowski 1m:26 after leader.

Sadly i had Ryos words ringing the ears this whole stage. He did it again

Who’s in yellow?

 

[Matteo.]

Chapeau Froome. I'm impressed

 

[meat puppet]

unless the others can take time from froome on stages that don't end uphill, they might be racing for podium. froome seems copiously strong.

 

[rhubroma]

Froome in yellow.

Re:

Who’s in yellow?

Martin, i think.

Or is it froome?

 

[shalgo]

Re:

Dan Martin determined to maintain his personal tradition of starting the Mur about thirty positions too far back and then flying past everyone to come fourth.

Sad but true.

Re:

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

Re:

Tony?

 

[Eagle]

ITV4 saying Froome 1 second ahead of Martin

 

[LaFlorecita]

Re: Re:

So yea Froome can't do this right?

Contador bad, blew himself up but still bad

Contador was bad because they neutralise the race, wasn’t he?

Oh aren't you funny.

 

[franic]

Re:

Froome in yellow.

Wow, Martin can’t make it to yellow...

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Froome was strongest GC today of that there is no doubt.

But there is a long long long way to go . . .

Re:

To be honest he wasn't that explosive, Purito flew away from him.

But he put up an incredibly high pace for a long time, which means he almost caught Purito when his pace dropped.

Clearly the the steepness didn't hurt him that much though, showing that even on a short steep climb like this he's clearly near the top.

Froome got 6 bonus seconds so

Froome 0"
Nibali 17"
Quintana 17"
Contador 24"
