Re: Re:

And there goes the podium for the dutchies. It lasted 2 days.

Like Gesink could've done something.. Thanks to that flat tire he was ****

He had a flat?

Yes, that's why he lost the time. Shame

Ok G. was amazing,but those were not attacks.Those little digs won't trouble Froome ever,they could try them all the way to Paris.

Froome himself couldn't drop Thomas

A classics specialists 10s of kgs heavier chasing down one of the best clumbers in the world after working all day?

Sky Jersey = SuperCyclingPowers !

He's 15% heavier but can generate maybe 15% more power, add the fact that the same bike weight benefits the bigger guy. Im sure this is all far to complex for u to understand

 

[Psalmon]

THAT was a memorable stage!

Can anyone recap it for me?

I guess this cycling was very clean 2 days ago.

Seriously, you need to get banned for trolling.

He needs to get banned for talking clinic in the prr section. Always. He's had at least 20 warnings over the years and one ban for it irrc. Always accusing everyone of doping but Sky.

Geraint Hincapie, what a ride.

Re:

Was there a massive headwind or something, looked like all attacks were just blown back

Yes.

They were attacks. On PCM if your guys bars are all down and you press attack in a group where the front 2 riders are all green, tha'ts exactly what it will look like.

Re: Re:

That's fool's gold, Gerry, fool's gold.

Ugh, Thomas.

he rode SO strongly that Pinot is still there.

What do you mean? Pinot is where he belongs. Geraint not quite where expected.

But Thomas will excel in rain and if it's being raced so easily Pinot is still there it's a little less bizarre than it looks.

No, no it isn't. Thomas chased down Quintana...you can try to pretty that up any way you want, but that is mutant.

Re: Re:

They were **** on the first day in the pyrenees and still are. Not that surprising

Being destroyed by team sky does not mean that they were *** or weak. They just got beaten by much much (much !) better than them.

 

[sir fly]

There could be a couple of places in the top 10 available.

Thomas wasn't on the front until soon before Quintana attacked and you don't know his current weight.

Just imagine the damage Paolini would be doing in the high mountains if he hadn't been sent home. The Pyrenees have nothing on the Gent-Wevelgem.

You're right. There's no precedent in cycling history for northern europeans being able to both climb and cobble.

When you as track rider Geraint rides like Armstrong 2004 what are the others supposed to do?

 

[sir fly]

Geraint Thomas looking better than after the E3

 

[TourOfSardinia]

happy for Purito

 

[Rollthedice]

Nibali cracked the top ten. If it were raining since 4th of July he could have been the yellow shark.

I understand that, extremely unlucky. Doesn't change the fact that this top 3 dream is most likely over, especially cause contador and piti looked better today. And thomas too

If i were him i would drop 10 minutes back tomorrow and go for a win in the mountains.

A little attack in headwind on a flatter section.

Is it a good sign that Froome couldn't drop everyone today? Am I reaching?
