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

[Singer01]

clearly poels was saving energy last week. strong as ***. i bet froome is glad they knocked the top 6 km off cos he is down to the dregs of his team.

 

[Ruby United]

Quintana looks so comfortable though. Froome doesn't of course, though of course he never does!

 

[webvan]

Movistar...complete fail, they need to hire better riders.

Need a Richie attack!

 

[doperhopper]

too early and single-mountain stage - skytrain still too fresh, but one has to wear them off

 

[Eyeballs Out]

The Belgians doing their best to lose the stage

 

[vedrafjord]

Worried for Dan Martin now

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Dawg is going to absolutely smash this.

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

They're not even gaining time on the front group it seems?

Froome is becoming more and more likeable because he is so aggressive but sky stays extremely boring

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

 

[spalco]

Froome looks terrible imo, but impossible to say if he's feeling bad or sandbagging before an attack.

 

[Ramira]

Very hard to judge how good Froome is right now.

He's clearly relying on his teammates but no idea if it's because he wants to save energy and break Quintana when the time comes, or if he's simply not that good.

I'm a bit worried about Quintana though, he's attacked twice now, and twice the Sky train could easily reel him back in. The gap between Quintana and the rest of the field doesn't seem to be as big as it was a year ago. But so far the same can be said for Froome in the mountains.

 

[bajbar]

Froome mutant attack incoming...

 

[SeriousSam]

Can Quintana actually drop Aru, Yates, Henao, Landa?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Yawn. Boring so far
