2016 TdF, Stage 10: Escaldes-Engordany → Revel (197km)

[Lance Armstrong]

I wonder who is chasing like mad in the peloton.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

The Race Centre is the most useless thing in the history of cycling.

This. It was much better last year.

 

[Stilletto]

Are SKY trying to catch Quintana out?
wonder who has been sleeping, could be that Froome is ahead a few GC contenders ?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Nibali to win this like he did in Sheffield

Nibali will probably reamin close by to Aru now that
Aru has publicly acknowledged his help.

okay my bad

Nibali in the break chasing KOM pts

This is all going to be together by the intermediate sprint. Another boring day in the live TV broadcast.

 

[vedrafjord]

According the race center Cav Kittel in the peloton 58 second. Really really hard to believe.

There have been a few stages where they were reported as quite a bit down and then *boom* they're back in the peloton (or grupetto). Either major GPS irregularities, or mucho sticky bottles, or both. Particularly that stage with just Cav and Eisel way at the back, unless the broom wagon/commisaires had them in sight I presume it'd be pretty low-risk for the team car to give them a quick tow.

 

[doperhopper]

I read "peloton does not want the break to go"... does it mean SkyBorgs? (as live ticker suggests)

WHY?

They could have a quiet day... or, kaybe, Vroom wants to atack on that last Cat3 climb and gain few more sec in the descent as well?

 

[Gigs_98]

Now the break is apparently:
Landa, Izaguirre, Nibali, Sagan, Dumoulin, Caruso, Cummings, Costa, Matthews 20 seconds in front of the peloton. Kittel and Greipel are dropped but somehow Cav is still in the Peloton though I honestly wouldn't trust Race Centre about that.

Yup sounds it Lotto-Soudal are charging the peleton....

But according to Race Centre both Kittel and Greipel aren't even in the peloton. WTF is going on

 

[Stilletto]

just seen live pics on france 3
about 11 riders have 10 seconds to 2 riders then another 4-5 seconds after, peloton is stretched but only about 60 riders deep.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

OK no wind today. Snoozefest coming up.

It really is pathetic.

 

[Leffe_Bruin]

Well, maybe Alaphillippe can win a sprint if all the top sprinters are dropped right? (I base this totally on this one time he came in second in a flat sprint :lol: )

gotta agree

 

[Stilletto]

so still the same group in the front
Chasing are Durbridge, Impey, Boasson, Oliveira and Gallopin

and more attacks from the peleton..

 

[saganftw]

how far is grupetto behind peloton? if its not much the break wont stay

 

[Stilletto]

GVA and Chavanel going now

The fantastic race center suggests 13 leaders in break now with 44 sec to peloton. It also suggest no dropped riders behind peloton anymore

 

[tomorrow]

the gap to the break is growing, do we have a BOTD finally?

 

[ExtraSpoke]

Sagan on the attack again?

Front of the race |
130.90 km to go |
2 rider(s)
including: SAGAN, Peter (TNK), DUMOULIN, Samuel (ALM)

according to race center rest of the breake is 20 secs behind

That would be an incredibly stupid move by Sagan

 

[Stilletto]

WOW peloton is blown!

 

[Leffe_Bruin]

Apparently there is a break of:
Sagan, Matthews, Nibali, Costa, Cummings, Landa, G. Izagirre, Sam Dumoulin, Caruso, Boasson Hagen, Gallopin, Durbridge and Impey
