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

[Valv.Piti]

Its puzzling just how bad Nibali is when he isn't 100%.

Re: 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.

They never know until they don't try. Maybe they would blow to pieces.

Rowe finally dropped.

Zakarin pulling Majka to stage victory.

 

[MikeTichondrius]

Rafnur Zakamajka again. Same as the beginning.

Nelson Oliveira surprising me this TDF. Clearly the best of the two PT riders so far.

Thanks Ducrot

That is probably my favorite thing about this stage so far.

 

[Poursuivant]

Poels to be last Sky man.

Zakarin ftw

Should be the opposite ... Stage win for Zaka and mountain points for Majka.

 

[trevim]

What a race from BMC today and in the Tour in general. Apart from Avermaet I wonder why on earth wheren't Moinard, Caruso or Dennis all over this break. They must be saving themselves to attack Sky....

Well to be honest Nibali never used to be like this. He up until 2013 tended to be pretty good throughout the season. Also, personally I find it puzzling how good Valverde always is. No rider is more consistent than he is despite him being one of the eldest guys in the peleton.

 

[noviceaussie]

Good for you Astana, good for you

 

[djpbaltimore]

Two great sights. Astana to the front.... and cows....

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Astana working. Not sure for whom, but hey, at least we get to see some variety at the front of the group of favorites.

 

[cantalupe]

Astana defending Aru's Top 10.

 

[Sciocco]

Aru with the Astana-late-GT-super-recovery-peak... )))))

 

[Rollthedice]

Rosa to drop all Sky doms.

 

[HelloDolly]

Astana at last

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Wonder if Birdsong will be able to do a turn.

 

[One Eyed Aussie]

Nibs waiting for Aru to bridge.

 

[TomLPC]

Pace is huge, peloton tiny

 

[Rollthedice]

The peloton is no more.
