Re:

How much did Froome lose by that mechanical? Is he weak, or is he just on an impossible mission?

he was nearly back on at one point, maybe 15 meters from the back of the group, then Cannondale attack off the front and he never got back on

He already almost caught the group. He was there at 5 seconds but couldn't bridge.

Beautiful and very technical descent. I really like this stage.

 

[saganftw]

dombrowski killer attack dropped froome unfortunately

 

[TMP402]

As soon as Froome encounters any difficulty pre-Dauphine, he reverts to training ride mode. No mystery.

 

[May0maniac]

Apparently that's Morabito's home village.

I know why is Froome alone.

Dylan Thomas: "***, I've been called to return for Froome...I wish my radio didn't work!"
Rafal Majka: "well..."
Dylan Thomas: "oh "

 

[rick james]

Time gaps would be nice

 

[TomLPC]

Its all up to the Welsh nairo, shame kennuagh isn't about, not sure what he's up to nowadays

 

[rick james]

Froome and Nieve out for a wee stroll on the bike

Re:

I know it's not a Spanish race, but I find the coverage not too easy to follow.

 

[May0maniac]

Dawg on a coffee ride with his amigo Nieve.

 

[TMP402]

Orica protecting Howson? And Rui alone as usual...

 

[rick james]

Sticky bottle without a bottle

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

T Dum going backwards

 

[johnymax]

What time gaps? The group of favourites is together at the front.

 

[Rollthedice]

Pinot ready to smoke em all.

 

[sir fly]

Froome holding to the planned Tour build up.
Doesn't get carried away by the racing.

 

[Kokoso]

Trofimov lost his mojo after joining Tinkoff. From hero to zero.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Thomas to save the day?

 

[May0maniac]

3 Cannondale riders near the front.

 

[rick james]

wee Nairo looking ok

Re:

What are his objectives this year? Is he going to the Giro or Tour?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Kelderman next to Dumo. Q looking well. Costa and Spilak also there

 

[TomLPC]

Sebastian reichenbach out the back, luckily fdj still have Sebastian reichenbach in the peloton
