Movistar look there for the taking, I only see one at the front (Valverde?)

Re:

Echelon racing is like the Darwinism of cycling.

Signature worthy.

Re: Re:

Froome driving on the front

Shouldn't he be saving his energy for Ventoux tomorrow?

Clinic reasons aside, another reason Froome was so bad before 2011 was that he always wasted a lot of energy, literally attacking every time he felt good, instead of saving energy. Froome getting too eager and wasting energy is a very familiar tale

Yeah, I guess it's a good sign if he's go so much energy ready to unleash tomorrow. But he needs a strong road captain to tell him to ease off a bit today!

Another crash, Majka and Anacona involved.

You would think it's a windy area, if they've named the places by it.

 

[rick james]

Crash...

Need to roll through and keep your place, although he seemed to be working for a bit too long until these adverts started.

 

[Arredondo]

Winner crash

Intermediate sprint coming up in 4 km.

Re:

Froome and Sky to box Sagan in and take the points

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Etixx doesn't really seem very prevalent at the front contrary to expectation. I even saw Martin in some dropped group.......

EDIT and right after I posted that I saw the organizing themselves up front nvm

 

[dgodave]

Bike racing is Fn madness.

I can't believe that there are no big James in the 2nd group. I mean it's almost as big as the first one.

Yeah I think every main rider in terms of GC and sprinters are in the 1st group

I think Emanuel Buchmann is in the 2nd one ...

 

[CheckMyPecs]

Kittel takes the sprint.

 

[Gigs_98]

I can't believe that there are no big names in the 2nd group. I mean it's almost as big as the first one.

I think Emanuel Buchmann is in the 2nd one ...

I don't consider a rider whose goal is to get a top 20 as a big name

 

[wirral]

The two leaders of the Mountains classification crashed today. Has Nibali unleashed the malocchio again?

 

[sir fly]

The wind picking up a kilometre by hour.

 

[CheckMyPecs]

There's too much tree cover.

 

[vedrafjord]

I can't believe that there are no big James in the 2nd group. I mean it's almost as big as the first one.

It looked about 80% French to me...

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Too many towns and villages.

 

[PremierAndrew]

Movistar at the front on a day with crosswinds. Never thought I'd see the day

 

[Pricey_sky]

2nd group coming back as the pace drops off at the front

 

[deValtos]

Why are FDJ working so hard ? I don't get it.
