Re: Re:

Is BMC chasing ? If it's true they're REALLY stupid.

Why? Seems perfectly normal to chase in this situation

It's up to Sky to chase, if they want to put "pressure" on Sky they shouldnt work, they have NO interest in pulling.

 

[Laplaz]

Astana and Tinkoff alliance also in coming for Le Tour!

 

[Melo]

It's 2016 and we can't see the queen stage of Dauphine. Disgusting...

Re: Re:

This is why it's so hard to hate Contador. S/o to Aru as well for having a big set of balls too

And credit for Purito by joining the party

Yeah, brings back some memories seeing those two ride on the big mountains.

 

[Laplaz]

Contador and Aru caught.

 

[Andro]

Re:

Why aren't Kreuz and Kiserlovski waiting for Contador? At least one of them should sit up and help him on the descent

It's when they get to the bottom of the descent that he's really gonna need them.

 

[Rollthedice]

Seems like a good rehearsal for Le Tour.

If they don't chase and contador gets away they end up fighting for second place. Better to chase catch Alberto and fight for first IMO.

Re:

Aru has nothing to lose here, he's 35th, 1:57 back, so nothing to do woth big balls. Contador I agree, though.

The tennis game is brilliant though! Federer getting hammered

 

[May0maniac]

Apparently Froome still has 3 teammates, Poels, Henao and Landa,.

 

[Pantani Attacks]

Have TV cameras been recording up until now though? As in is there potential to see this race in full on YouTube in a few days/next week/whenever?

 

[Arredondo]

Group Purito, Alberto and Aru reeled in by Froome group

 

[rune1107]

Aaand their back together

 

[Kokoso]

Re: Re:

HOw long did Kreuziger spend in the break yesterday? Thanks guys, if anybody knows.

From Barrioz, I think. Around 100 kilometres.

Thank you. Yet he did fine on the last climb.

 

[sir fly]

They're holding them on a short leash. Half a minute with half of the stage still to come.
Well, they can always say: "We tried, gave our best..."

Re:

where are you getting updates?

 

[JRanton]

Contador back in the pack

Alberto Contador, Fabio Aru and Joaquim Rodriguez have been reined in at km 62. 23 riders form the yellow-blue jersey group.


Sky closed it down before the top apparently.

Don't think so. Also to add to the previous points, in 30 mins time, Eurosport will begin a 30 min highlight show of yesterday's stage. No way they wouldn't just switch to live coverage if it was available.

That suggests there's going to be no footage apart from amateur footage taken by fans on the sides of the roads

 

[rick james]

choo choo all aboard the sky train...

Re:

Froome has 5 teammates with him apparently and only 21 riders left in that group

These days even Rowe and Stannard are good climbers.

Twitter. From Le Gruppetto for example.

Re:

As expected, but they can try again on the next climb

 

[KGB]

Re: Re:

Contador not only has his tinkoff teammates, but he also has Aru and the Astana boys too. This could get really interesting

BMC and Sky are just way stronger than Astana and 2 Tinkoff guys

But not stronger than Contador+ Aru

No but froome on his own is stronger than both aru and contador combined.

Bloody hell you were right!!

 

[Andro]

Well that's boring. Now it's probably gonna be a boring stage from here on out.
