What's the point of designing such a good stage and then showing only one hour of live pictures. On Saturday...

Will be like PN this year . The Madeleine might be crazy

Very disappointing that they haven't bothered to make more of the stage broadcasted. Looks like we'll only get the final climb.

It's probably because of that other sporting event that we won't mention.

Totally agree , very poor from the race organisers

Abandons Stage 5:
DNS: LAPORTE, Christophe (Cofidis, Solutions Crédits)
DNF: VANBILSEN, Kenneth (Cofidis, Solutions Crédits)
DNF: BOUHANNI, Nacer (Cofidis, Solutions Crédits)
OTL: SOUPE, Geoffrey (Cofidis, Solutions Crédits)

I'm sure Dani Navarro is grateful for his team's commitment to support his top ten GC efforts.

No Mottaret, no fun.

Will it really matter? Maybe if they had not replaced Jeannesson with Vanbilsen at the last minute.

And Bozic who crashed pretty bad is still in the race?

Weather conditions anyone?

Re:

Overcast atm, gets better and will be fairly nice weather at the finish. So bad for pollen probably.

Dry on Madelaine and Meribel, but possible showers on Madelaine between 14-16

You can try this Rai stream, usually goes live before Eurosport http://raisport1.web.tv/

 

[Miburo]

Pinot is in the break and he's at 3min, same with kreuziger. Not a great situation for sky, really good the stage though.

Won't slow down

Sky like this situation, good simulation. If it was just about Dauphiné, they would have placed Henao or Landa in it.

 

[Flamin]

Nice and proper break. A shame though that Froomey leads the gc, now we get to see the Sky train at work.

That's 80% of our climbing talent in the break

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

this means contador will 100% go on madeleine

 

[Miburo]

Good thing for Contador is that the gap will stay 2 min. If he has great legs i think he'll try on the Madeleine and close the gap.

But problem is that it isn't the last stage, tomorrow there's chance too to still win the GC.

I'm surprised Sky kept all their men together.
Could have been good rehearsal with their men in front, too.

Re:

That would be a suicide.
It's not the Dauphine where he should give everything he has.

 

[Kokoso]

How long did Kreuziger spent in a break yesterday?
Edit: spend

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

Lulu and Jan Bakelants closed the gap to the leaders

Kiserlovski and kreuziger in the break
