2016 TdF, Stage 15: Bourg-en-Bresse → Culoz (160km)

[StuyvenFan]

Did I mishear Phill or did he just call Lulu "samu leon sanchez"?

 

[Ruby United]

Why did I think it was Vuillermoz?

 

[uconnryan]

Pantano FTW

 

[sir fly]

Gruppetto holding well.
Just a minute behind peloton.

Now two minutes.

Re: Re:

Stage over, Dumoulin is gone

Jep, Dumoulin has his third in the bag.

Really?
Seems like we're a long way out.

I think Samamba exaggerates a bit now and then.

Ofc I was exaggerating.
But they need to catch him as soon as possible or he's really gone.

They just did.

The least prominent information in the new Race center is the info you want the most, time gaps and what group contains what riders. Instead we have stuff like this:

What are we supposed to do with that? Does anyone study these graphs and gain something of value from them?

 

[Rollthedice]

Zubeldia spotted.

 

[Red Rick]

It seems that Contador has learned astral projection and is possessing Navarro

 

[The Barb]

You are correct P Mantis. Completely pointless.

 

[Andro]

Nibali dropped like a stone.

 

[carolina]

nibs is cracking or just waiting for aru (wishfull thinking)

 

[HelloDolly]

Nibs Nibs Nibs ...

 

[webvan]

That race is a bit of a mess!

 

[MikeTichondrius]

Reichenbach riding himself into the top 10 with this move. Good thing we aren't seeing the likes of Movi and Trek riding to take back time from him like in previous TDFs...

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

I'm confused as to why Nibali is here. He's not helping Aru. He's not a contender.

 

[pink_jersey]

Luke feckin Rowe setting the pace on a fuckin HC climb after "n" climb. ...Please, someone, do something

 

[staubsauger]

Never write off Nibali. He might still win this stage if the others get scarfed up in a black hole!

Re:

Usual July fare. Everyone seems happy to let the dominating team control the pack instead of having the guts to attack them. Truth be told, with the roster Sky has fully dedicated to Froome it's no surprise. Nobody can get rid of them. Poels, Thomas, Nieve and Landa are op as feck.

 

[phil-i-am]

Phil just called Ion Izaguirre John Inxtausti haha

Dissapointed in Nibali :<

He thought he might be a contender which seems to not be the case while he didn't think about helping Aru today which could have been the case.

 

[HelloDolly]

Durasek maybe

 

[Pantani Attacks]

Nibali not good enough for a Giro-Tour

Nibali rides for Team Nibali and nobody else. Same goes for Team Valverde.

 

[SeriousSam]

I guess it's not a surprise Nibali has been so impotent. He's a rider who needs his super peaks at select events

Preparing for Rio and giving Aru a wheel once in a while . He did lead Aru up one final climb and saved his butt that day. But after Aru's dreadful TT I'd think Astana said just go ride for a stage win Nibs.
