Re: Re:

One of the cyclinghub guys is more clueless than Kirby. And that takes some going. At least other is decent.

Both of them are pretty bad to be honest (if it's the Dane and the Scot)

Well they aren't getting paid for it.

Re:

Froome lost about 20s in on that last right hand curve

He almost pulled a Dan Martin.

 

[dacooley]

froome taking a type of win some of his detractors appreciate very much

 

[Publicus]

Quintana rode defense all day. I suspect if he had needed to ride down Froome, he could have. Majka you suck.

Re:

Stage winner of tomorrow: Chris Froome.

What have i said?

 

[Matteo.]

A strong performance by Froome, beyond the victory (and in bad weather). He will be the favorite of the Tour as always

 

[sir fly]

Congrats to Froome.
Too bad we didn't see a head to head duel with Quintana, but we can be satisfied.

 

[CheckMyPecs]

Kudos to TGBM. I'm often hard on him for not attacking, but today at least he did more than just suck wheels.

Want a medal?

Chapeau to Froome. I really didnt expect anything like that today.

Norwegian I think? How come they've started chatting over the stream anyway? I'm back to hunting down streams "manually" now since I like to actually hear the race noise.

 

[luckyboy]

Yeah I just mute it if I have to listen to CyclingHub commentary.

Zakarin down to fourth overall because Izagirre gets bonus seconds.

 

[May0maniac]

That was an awesome ride by Froome, chapeau!

Dane. Jesper.

Re:

Wow, that was pretty close in the end

Not really, Froome eased up a lot towards the end.

But I doubt he would have been able to drop Quintana, Pinot and co if he had been a factor on GC

 

[Publicus]

Chapeau to Froome. I really didnt expect anything like that today.

i did. he was over 17' down. no one was going to chase him and he'd definitely be the strongest against folks in the break. TJ did waaayyy too much work helping them get away IMO and imploded.

What about giving some credit to a guy who provide a HD stream without understandable commentary ? So he wants to add more value by covering the stream with his comments. Sounds pretty brave and nice to me. But you would probably be better at this job.. And as well said. For free.

There are two.

 

[BigMac]

I swear Dumoulin was nowhere to be seen but still saved his 5th for quite some margin.

They only do this because there is no English broadcasting for the Tour de Romandie. In every other race they will again just stream the Eurosport commentary.

Re:

Froome wins after attacking from 45k, great show of defiance

yep, great stage, nice attacking group. nice win after the last few days

I appreciate their effort, but seriously... One of them just can't shut up and 50% of what he says is rubbish. I'd rather listen to the Norwegian narrators (and I don't speak a single word of Norwegian !!).

I agree. I actually think Quintana could have ridden him down today if he was a GC threat. Instead he was content to defend his lead (which was the smart move)

Re:

He was. Came back a couple of times when the big climbers looked to each other.

He rode a really smart race.

Majka really doesn't like bad weather but this was just rubbish. He was in very good form on stage 2, but he was just dead today... Hope his form picks up in the next week. I expected at least a top 5 in the Giro if not a podium... Hmmm &#128528
