Wait, all this is for a 5.5km climb at 6%?

 

[webvan]

Yeah he's not very far...not a good sign though for the final climb. Same for Froome.

Re: Re:

the finish looks good for Valverde but expecting Porte to attack

Is Valverde here for sure?
Rolland :55 down and descending well

yeah they mentioned about Herrada dropping back from the break to help Valverde

 

[meat puppet]

expecting porte to go stratospheric on the climb, smirking as he goes. too bad froome isn't with him

 

[rm7]

I think it was froome at the back of the peleton?

Re:

Yeah, how the hell else are they going to get the time they need on Rolland?

We french people are doomed for eternity.

indeed, Smirking Porte, also known as 2013 Porte, is one of the very best climbers in the world

Well he already is over 1 minute down and i doubt he has a bunch of team mates working for him like Porte and Contador do at the front.

He will probably start the last climb almost 2 minutes down so it is certainly possible to lose those last 30 odd seconds on that climb.

This is sick Danish Eurosport has already have two commercial breaks after they started 15:40. Looks like Bart De Clercq is still their so I expect Porte to attack from the bottom of the final climb

Moncoutié says the climb is in fact 12km long, very gradual.

So up we go now!

I'm not sure. But I think I saw two Lotto Soudal riders in the peloton.

 

[Carols]

LOL it just came on USA TV starting at 21km!!!

 

[Enrico Gimondi]

1:30 behind for Rolland and we havent started the last climb. I think we may have a new leader after today.

 

[Pricey_sky]

5 Sky at the front, only spotted 4 beforehand.

[luckyboy]

Carlton Kirby runs off the laundry list of excuses for Froome every day
