Tinkoff sucks. Kreuziger and Contador not willing to make a tempo for Sagan

Sagan ...hahaha another lost again...

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Bah - gutted for Dan Martin.

Is his timing really to blame ? ?

Re:

Sagan green?

should be by 1 point

 

[The Hitch]

Well at least Dan Martin didn't win. wheew.

Saxo tactically outclassed Sky there. Most of their riders saved energy in the bunch while Sky used several domestiques as well as Froome to do a lot of pulling near the end, for a gain of 0.

I agree Kreuziger should have.

Re:

Nibali lost only small gap but still a little bit dissapoining being dropped by quite large group of riders
hopefully next week will be OK

 

[BigMac]

Disgraceful, a horde of riders ditching their own chances trying to force Sagan to chase. It's gotten disgusting already.

 

[Pantani Attacks]

Did Nairo finish with Contador and Froome?

 

[woodburn]

Re:

Dan could've won this with better tactics.

Rinse and repeat.

Re:

Froome looked a little weak there. Great recovery by Contador who finished very strong. Nibbles had a bad day

Froome looked weak?

Re:

A top 10 finish on a climb that doesn't suit him yet he looks weak??

 

[Andro]

Nibali lost about the same that Andy did here in 2011.

 

[sir fly]

Seizing up and a dress rehearsal for tomorrow's finish by the GC contenders, seemed to me.
Interesting performance from Nibali.

 

[SeriousSam]

Did TJ lose any time? If not, he might well be more likely to win the Tour at this point than Nibali.

 

[pedromiguelmartins]

Why didn't Kreuziger close the gap for Sagan? And all of the others going to his wheel, willing to lose. Bad luck to them.

Heck, after some thought, Sagan should use this tour to make a stance.

Great pick that Carol. Wish I had

 

[Irondan]

Vuillermoz very impressive!! Great win!

 

[Velolover2]

Nibali has no punch.

Nope, he was in the Froome Bert Nairo group

Contador actually tried i think but sagan blocked him, at like 400m and at that point it was already over.

Nibali needs to get better and contador needs to work on that positioning but he looked fine

He seemed very strong leading the front pack but then struggled when guys attacked and didn't couldn't even keep front wheel. Finished a little weak yes, in comparison to guys Like Valverde and Contador who grew as the climb progressed

Nope, he was just making sure none of the other GC contenders escaped off the front ...

On the one hand he’s a little bit justified because he started in the middle of the group and had to gain time in the steep part of the Mur. On the other he lost contact in the flat part of the Mur which is actually a sign of lack of power
