Those four are the strongest by a mile. Majka distant 5th. Was really close to making it and catching Zakas wheel on descent

They should just ride as a group now. Bye chavez then

 

[Arredondo]

Chaves has some teammates left though.

Normally he will return.

Re: Re:

Just tune in, where is Chaves?

Alright, I see, thanks. Freaking long commercial break.

This has Fuente De 2012 epic potential

Is Nibali just going to be in the wind for rest of the race? He must be pissed but that's not very smart

 

[SafeBet]

Could still come back together but it was a hell of a start. Wow.

Even more. Fuente Dé really only got going on the second-last climb.

Demolish Chavez,guys.Go

What is Rob Hatch's fixation with Nibali?

Valverde attacks 5 times, Zakarin 3. No comment
Nibali goes once and Hatch spends 15 minutes gushing

Which is more or less the case here considering the stage finish profile

Chavez weakness is a big advantage for Kruijswijk. Now his opponents primarily got a reason to pull themselves for now and deal with Kruijswijk later on. He needs to live on after this stage as the Risoul stage should normally favor him even if there's action right from the start.

Kruijswijk's still looking like a strong kid and very aware. Until now, Valverde, Zaka and Nibali wasted energy as well on Mendelpass. So probably they ain't gonna be totally fresh in the finale as well.

There's Kangert in the group and Nibs friend Ulissi.

Re:

Dombrowski looking great once again.

This kid is something special. Not a Tour winner, but he reminds me of Hampsten.

Plaza and Howson pulling for Chaves.

Why not? Piti will ride, he wants a podium. Kruiswuijk too if that means it'll chill down. And nibali too cause then he only needs to deal with Kruiswuijk for the win.

Why wouldn't they ride?
