Re: Re:

Nothing will happen on this descent, I don't get why you guys get so excited for no reason.

because jongh said this morning on belgian tv they send a guy up the road to check the weather and should it rain they will try and force the race

obviously not this descent, but the next one let's hope

Even Contador goes full kamikaze and takes 4 minutes on the last descent, he would still get dropped by the end.

At least he tried then.

What damage? They could easily let him and many others ride on the descent without taking any risks.

Plateau de Beille is going to be fresh.

 

[sir fly]

Look at the weather conditions' difference!

 

[Arredondo]

If Tinkoff is in the mood, they could put Froome into trouble on this descent. Or hopefully on the descent of the Lers.

 

[sir fly]

They are taking the descent really carefully.

 

[Netserk]

Nothing to happen in 3...2...1...

 

[infeXio]

Boring

 

[sir fly]

Really interesting weather.

 

[Arredondo]

This Tour reaches 2012 standard.

 

[sir fly]

I'm hoping for an epic conclusion.

The reason you atttack on the descent is not to gain time but to put pressure on your opponents. Don't give him time to rest, eat, drink. See Pereiro and Arroyo going full gas on the descents towards La Toussuire or Contadors attack on the Sarenne descent.

Re:

So you think G.will try to drop Froome

 

[TMP402]

Sorry if someone made the point before but why do Giant have Priedler in the break rather than looking after a clearly struggling Barguil?

It will be the only enlightenment this Tour

Re:

...or Contadors attack on the Sarenne descent.

That got him exactly nothing.

In fact, he paid for those efforts later by getting dropped even earlier.

At least he gave it a go.

What are the GC riders supposed to do? They've pretty much no dom upfront and sky still has the whole team. It wouldn't have worked for sure.

 

[sir fly]

Vanmarcke will be useful in the valley.
Gesink to show again?

Re:

Gesink will never do a longe range attack

He'll have a man to drag him for a while, at least.

 

[Arredondo]

Purito for yellow!
