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

[Andro]

Damn this is a weird stage.

Will be interesting to find out how far behind Cav/Kittel/Greipel are. Surely none of them can be in the peloton now. The peloton must have gone fairly fast uphill when all the breaks were reeled in.

Somebody to fire or kill those idiots behind the race center? No way there are no dropped riders.

 

[Stilletto]

peleton have sat up!

 

[tomorrow]

according the live tracker, cav is nearly 6 min. back

 

[Stilletto]

Rolland is back

 

[doperhopper]

sky have sent Landa so that Froomey can happily chat with Valverde at the front of the peloton...

...where nobody wants to really pull, they are just cruising and waitin for the rest to catch up

 

[Stilletto]

2 minutes now and growing

 

[Arredondo]

Looks like i was quite right!

 

[sir fly]

2:20 for Sagan and Dumoulin.
They're letting them grow a gap.

 

[bambino]

Sagan and Dumoulin soon back with the main break, Peloton sitting back and waiting it all come togehter. More than 3 minutes now between break and peloton. No issue for sprint teams when they get everyone collected back together again.

The beginning of a beautiful friendship, Alejandro and Christofer.

 

[saganftw]

just when the coverage starts,the action ceased...aint that f***ing glorious timing

 

[cipurian]

Break is about 10 riders strong with 3 minutes at the moment.

 

[sultanofhyd]

Hagen v Sagan

 

[doperhopper]

finally someone takes responsibility in the peloton... KATUSHA!

 

[Stilletto]

Katusha are hammering it now in the peleton

 

[Arredondo]

Is Kristoff there?

 

[sir fly]

Katusha decided to pull, when the breakaway riders came together.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Sagan and Dumoulin soon back with the main break, Peloton sitting back and waiting it all come togehter. More than 3 minutes now between break and peloton. No issue for sprint teams when they get everyone collected back together again.

Dimensions, Lotto and Direct Energie has riders in the break. Etixx can't bring that back alone and Katusha will not care.

edit: looks like they care

 

[SKSemtex]

head wind.

Katusha hammering in front of peloton already, gap getting smaller.

Re:

yup

 

[doperhopper]

strange, Sagan, sitting in the middle of the brea, looks back while eating and then somehow shakes his head as if in disbelief
