Re: Re:

Nairo must attack at bottom of next climb or I give up on him

And ride the last valley solo?

I doubt that Unzue can invent anything else

No bridge to guys up the road ...aren't there 2 Movistar riders up there

They are, but I dont think that Unzue brain capacity is good enough to use that

Sure not, I saw one Movi riding like mad to catch the Zakarin group.

 

[HelloDolly]

SKY down to 2 Doms now

 

[spalco]

Can Pantano sprint? If not I hope he can shake off Majka for all the work he's doing.

It looks like a decent opportunity to shake Yates at least.

He can't even be thinking of Yates. He has to stay focused on the MJ if he wants any chance of having a successful Tour. He will beat Yates for sure anyways, but he shoudn't be thinking about Yates

froomie asking to wait for his doms ))

 

[Arked]

Majka is taking turns at the front like any other rider from the break. I don't know what race are some of you watching.

 

[One Eyed Aussie]

Yellow jersey group still small.

 

[Sciocco]

Pantano will win this sprint with his left leg

He is quite fast. Way faster than Majka normally. And he is a great descender as well, so Majka will have to drop him before the top of the climb

Pantano sprints perfectly well, much much better than Majka.

shhhhh...its this forums favourite past time - complaining about Majka not pulling at the front :lol:

 

[PremierAndrew]

Doesn't Froome need a piss?

 

[RattaKuningas]

First time some other team has outnumbered Sky. Nice job Astana.

Yeah, first time in his career and in a 2 men group

 

[This Charming Man]

Can Quintana attack, on the final climb?

 

[Jacques (7 ch)]

Text commentary at 22km to go says 'Froome talking to the Astana riders' - what's that all about?

 

[HelloDolly]

Movistar needs to take advantage of Astana's work ...

 

[SeriousSam]

Thomas punctured. Why are they riding on? The peloton should wait so that Sky can regroup. This jettisoning of cherished Tour traditions is jarring.

 

[ILovecycling]

They need to attack, valley or not, Froome maybe isolated like this only this time

ASTANA is dropping SKY support riders...go ASTANA.

 

[trucido]

Yates is the GC version of Cummings.

 

[Sciocco]

YES MAJKA

 

[StuyvenFan]

Majka goes for it
