Re: Re:

Ah, the day of the first MTF, and after a rest day too.

One of the most intriguing questions today is, who will be the last Sky superdom standing when Froome detonates what's left of the peloton with his trademark attack?

Weird watching it without the heartrate in the corner.

Would make cycling much more appealing if they could show us HR, speed, watts and cadence of whatever rider is currently leading the group that's shown on TV.

Like, rather than just noting that the Dawg is going full genius, we would instead be able to marvel at how long he can sustain 600-700w after climbing at threshold.

Not surprised no one wants to get into the break with the next 2 days being more suited to breakaways. Still though, expected at least 5 from the riders who are not suited to the next 2 stages.

Hi everybody,

New member, first post. Iv been a fan of cycling for years and finally found an active forum to post on. Been a lurker for a few weeks actually.

Question: any chance of watching tour de france today before broadcasters start at 14:00? id like to follow the start.

Welcome.

Short of flying to France to watch the stage in person, you're out of luck. All channels receive the pictures at the same time.

Can't obviously, would give out info of the rider that can be used against him on the stage itself or later on in the GT. They tried in the vuelta and well...

Fedrigo has 30 seconds on Van Bilsen and the peloton a further 2 minutes behind.

 

[Alexandre B.]

So it's GC day.

Nice break with Fedrigo and Van Bilsen looking to bridge.

Don't worry,Barguil might save the day for France.

Indeed, a two man break on this stage?! Pathetic.

Always enjoy Fedrigo though, would not mind if he managed to pull it off (unlikely as that may be).

 

[staubsauger]

If the favorites watch each other or Sky drills a false fast, the likes of Pinot & Kruijswijk could still escape on the final col! Not likely,tough.

Very disappointing breakaway. I guess Rolland, Arredondo, Pinot etc. are waiting for the next two days.

Not disappointing, a break won't survive at all today. Not the rider's their fault if you didn't realise it.

Tomorrow is way different.

 

[Sasquatch]

Arredondo and the guys going for the KOM jersey were never going to attack today. They can pick up 40 odd points tomorrow whilst the GC guy that gets 50 today probably won't pick up many tomorrow.

It always seemed unlikely they'd be in a break on a stage that is ________/

If Pinot is on top form he can still be a contender for today's stage because he will not be marked

 

[Jagartrott]

Is Fedrigo stupid?
Van Bilsen is not a climber, so he'd better let him catch up and do some of the work on the flat.

Hello everybody,
For sharing I have made this time lapse of the last kilometers the today's stage 10 with the climb of the Col de Soudet
Sorry if my english is bad...

Thanks for your effort. I would have liked it to be a little slower on the mid section.
Welcome to the forum!

Thanks, I have used a tool that do time lapse from streetview images for this, I can't really slow it down so.
I did the Tourmalet too, I'll post it in the late afternoon, when the stage 11 dedicated thread will be open.

Re: Re:

Not expecting any major time gaps other than from those on a bad day. It will be difficult for any climber to make a difference on stage with only 1 real climb and the final climb being relatively shallow in the final third of the ascent. I think something similar to Morzine Avoriaz will occur in the results.

Hi Carol...how are you? nice to see you back

Very funny!

I'm well thanks. I've missed much of the first week of the Tour due to being away for work but glad to be back for the real stuff.

I stood next to your hero in Utrecht. Took me a while to notice Evans walked passed me and chatted with some people. Since he didnt wear cycling clothes I didnt notice him until he walked off though

That's awesome. I'm pretty sure he was watching it with David Millar for a while as well.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Weather in the Pyrenees?

 

[MatParker117]

Sky will let the right break go tomorrow so Arredondo etc would be well served to get "dropped" early.

 

[Pantani Attacks]

Kelderman to drop everyone

Well yes, I didn't expect any of those three to go for it today, but I did expect that more than 2 riders wanted to go for it.

 

[sky2500]

Breakaway can win today.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

No it can't

 

[Sasquatch]

Re:

It could if a half decent climber had 5 minutes at the base of the climb. Guys like the Yates brothers etc. Fedrigo is not a half decent climber. So no chance.

 

[Miburo]

Re:

I'll give you 4 to 1, wanna bet?

lol fedrigo isnt a bad climber though, but doesn't matter, no chance.
