2016 TdF, Stage 12: Montpellier → Mont Ventoux (178km)

[webvan]

Henao to attack I suppose?

 

[fantomas]

They are not even closing in on the three out in front.

 

[woodburn]

They're not going super fast. Leaders lost less than minute so far on climb.

 

[SeriousSam]

Good god even TJ is still there. They're going backwards

 

[portugal11]

This race needs contador

 

[TomLPC]

Big time trial tomorrow, lots of thinking about it and lots of deciding nah

 

[webvan]

Valverde back? Thought I just saw two Movistars behind Froome

Re: Re:

Poels one of the very strongest rider in the peleton ATM!

He should be, was resting until today more or less.

He is only needed on 2/3 stages so rests all the other times

 

[ILovecycling]

Valverde should attack if he can

 

[ontheroad]

This is as dull as dishwater. A few token attacks by Movistar reigned in by the train.

Alberto would've been dropped like a stone, already.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Navarro is finally surgically removed

 

[portugal11]

I was telling that froome looked strong but now he looks bad

 

[Cervelo77]

SkyBots in full control. Does Froome bother to attack or does he just mark Quintana?

 

[Melo]

Quintana is dead.

 

[Rollthedice]

Bobble head dawg contemplating an attack.

 

[infeXio]

Valverde chasing Rodriguez just because it's Rodriguez?

 

[Eclipse]

People think Froome looks bad? 90% he's just riding tempo and will go thermonuclear soon

 

[ILovecycling]

Purito marked by Valverde
Cmonnnn

 

[woodburn]

Froome leaves a gap every time Sky chases someone. Pretty unusual.

 

[SeriousSam]

Valverde cannot let Purito go lol

 

[Arredondo]

There's too much wind to attack really

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Froome looks horrible. He'll destroy them in a moment.

 

[HelloDolly]

Purito & Mollema need to draw out SKY doms

Re:

Depends on his legs. The gap isn't that big yet, and last year Quintana was better in the final days. No way he's comfortable with this lead, even with the ITT tomorrow. If he can take time he'll try to. But probably not till the final 3k or so.
