Re: Re:

Carlton asking Sean to translate Froome's curse. Great moments in broadcasting.

And Kirby still promoting Atapuma. On stage 1 he said Atapuma was "many people"'s "dark horse for the overall"

Dont mess with Kirby,his pick of Sbaragli was divine

Re: Re:

He said "Porco Dio". Didn't realise he speaks Italian. It's not a very nice expression!

Well he lived in Italy. Don't think he speaks fluent Italian, or at least Ive heard him say he struggled with it while living there, but anyone who has spent 2 minutes with an Italian person knows Porco Dio and Dio Cane.

ah! so I heard it! I thought "that seemed like a -porcodio-"...

Six riders of Colombia in the first big group, but no riders in the break

Re: Re:

Froome has stolen the early show from Dumoulin.

Not exactly in the way he wanted I imagine

Well, the early show should have always been about struggle and survival, so...

Re: Re:

Dont worry,this was the plan

Re:

The race was ON from the start. They'd been nice enough to "wait" for him. Anyway, Froome will pay for the effort at some point...

Re: Re:

They are all sick

Edit: Think one was trying to bridge over with a Caja dude and someone else.

 

[sir fly]

If Astana and Movi don't (can't) exploit the early handicap of Froome's, they won't win the race and they don't deserve.
On the other hand... Well figure it out by yourselves.

 

[Sasquatch]

That Caja dude was Goncalves. With Bennett and Cherel.

Kirby putting the boot into Astana now...nice

There was definitely an acceleration soon after Froome got up.

That said, Sky complaining would be hypocritical too

Full list of riders in the break anyone?

 

[Sasquatch]

Re:

Nelson Oliveira, Darwin Atapuma, Matteo Montaguti, Javier Moreno, Romain Sicard, Omar Fraile, Pawel Poljanski, Alberto Losada, Mikel Landa, Damien Howson, Jerome Coppel, Cyril Lemoine, Imanol Erviti, Carlos Verona, Rubén Plaza y Ian Boswell

Goncalves, Cherel and Bennett have made it across.

 

[sir fly]

Tempo on Beixalis wasn't naive at all.
Look at the size of the group now and compare it with the size on Beixalis. There was no easing off because of Froome.

Thanks buddy.

Now the only question is whether Landa will drop them all on Gallina or before.

 

[Miburo]

This talk of fair play is so annoying, don't fall simple.

Astana are keeping them within reach. He won't be dropping anyone. He'll be launching Aru for the stage win.

That was the break forming, nothing to do with Froome crashing
