Re: Re:

Huzarski sacrificing himself for Golas or what?

Then surely Golas would have let Bak close the gap after the roundabout?

Why is that? There are racing against the peloton for now, not each other. No point in playing games yet.

In that case it would make sense for Huzarski to sit up when he noticed that Golas wasn't with him.

Not sure he noticed it immediately..

You're probably right, but it's the most interesting thing to speculate about for now.

Salmon can't resist "snapping at the bait." Climbs like today are bait for AC. He can't help himself.

If Froome goes for it then Contador might be swimming up river to try and keep up.

My bet is a dark horse ftw (someone like Anacona), as GC leaders going to look each other

Broadcasters play little hidden games with their friends. Perhaps Kirby has a wager with someone about how many times he can work fish into today's stage.

Trying to decide between Carlton and Sean and Phil and Paul. No good answer.

Carlton and Sean. They don't have the Jens spouting off every so often...
