Re:

Froome doing Sagan things.

Fixed

Movistar is officially a joke

Why? They're happy to sit tight, let Froome waste energy while the sprinter's teams pull him back in. Could backfire, but it probably won't.

 

[Jelantik]

Quintana... Lol.. Still so much to learn. Froome is definetely looking for any scrap of seconds. If tomorrow is cut short due to wind.. another miss opportunity for Quintana..

 

[Arredondo]

FFS Purito! Getting surprised at the end

 

[CheckMyPecs]

But will all this energy expenditure be worth it?

Re: Re:

Lol, this is ridiculous. Froome's the most complete rider since Merckx - the guy just keeps pulling out new skills from nowhere.

Reminds me of Armstrong (no clinic intended)

Indurain 95.

 

[Gigs_98]

I'd lmao if Froome beats Sagan in a sprint

 

[MacBAir]

Froome and Sagan. What the *** am I watching. What amazing riders. Serves Movistar right. I don't understand how anyone can be a fan of Quintana. Or dislike Peter.

Canvendish with a puncture!!!!

If Kittel wins this I will be pissed.

 

[meat puppet]

20sec from the empire crew to quintana.

 

[Rollthedice]

Cav yelling alone.

*** This is racing!
Froome positioning is godlike!

Is there time gaps?

[TomLPC]

Re:

Quintana showing great tactics by eating wind at the back group and saving energy unlike Froome!!!!!!!

Re:

wow- Is that Froome so afraid of not being able to drop Quintana?

Yeah he's doing this out of weakness...

 

[Ramira]

Re:

Quintana showing superb tactical awareness like always!!!!!!

Honestly this time I'm not so sure it's tactical awareness. Quintana is not even close to the top 20 or so on the flat, and he might struggle to be top 100 on a course like this. The simple fact is, on a day like today Quintana isn't strong enough to stay with Froome.

That being said his team is disappointing, they brought a couple of specialists for the flat work, and they're nowhere to be seen. Not to mention Valverde should be able to be there right now.

Sit tight? They're not even in the peloton right now. Quintana is alone.

 

[doperhopper]

only some 10-15 secs so far

will vroom sprint for time bonuses?

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Christoper "Mr Entertainment" Froome.

 

[DFA123]

Sensible decision by Movistar. They can't put out as much power as Lotto, Etixx and the sprint trains anyway. No need to panic 9km from the finish.

 

[sir fly]

Froome brought the thrill to another stage.

Re:

Camera bike struggling to stay on Sagan's wheel.

Quintana is starting to look like the Colombian Andy Schleck.

LOL.. :lol: :lol: Good one.

Quintana didn't have one single rider who helped him.

This is the end, my only friend, the end.
