Re:

Next time Tejay should try joining a break. Maybe that way he'll be useful to Richie on the final climb...

Good idea. Richie could use more reference points to go past on the uphill.

Re:

Movistar and Astana aren't going to beat Sky by pretending to be Sky. That helps no one, except Sky's mountain train, who can now take a nice rest.

+1

Nibali looks bored on front of peleton.

 

[doperhopper]

Nibs opening coke can upfront... means business

Lulu with hotspots?

Re:

Astana actually have serious numbers in this group. They just needed Aru with slightly better legs and they could take on Sky.

I don't get all this talk of Astana vs Sky. Astana isn't attacking Sky.

 

[HelloDolly]

The thing is everyone including TJ, Movistar doms, Rolland, etc looking like humans

 

[woodburn]

Bye Bye Birdsong.

 

[MikeTichondrius]

So Tinkoff is on the way to collecting two jerseys and a top 10 with Kreuziger and stage wins with Sagan. Can't really call it a failure now, can we?

 

[Red Rick]

Ah I just want to say aruvederci once this Tour.

 

[TMP402]

Did Kirby ever apologise for claiming Alaphilippe was a favourite for the Tour?

There IS some action, according to 'The Daily Telegraph' Live coverage.

3:14pm - Peter Sagan (Tinkoff is caught by the peloton as Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) pees over his right shoulder and gives the Slovak a smile.

Wow, I know people think Nibali is a man's man, but if he can do that maybe he should give up cycling and join a circus!

 

[TomLPC]

Rolland training for the vuelta by riding a 1970s bike up the mountain

 

[Punkan]

Nibali breaks Birdsong...

 

[Tyke1968]

Quintana might have a bad day today with this pace set by Astana.

Re:

Teejay is like uran, they doesn't belong to the third tier riders but they are way overrated

How can you compare the two. Uran got 2nd on Giro twice.

 

[ontheroad]

Peloton is thinning out, still 6 sky bots there.

 

[Rollthedice]

Five guys with Froome, while everybody else droppimg like flies, a good joke.

 

[hfer07]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[Red Rick]

Vino would've picked up a beer Nibbles. You can do so much better dammit

 

[Ruby United]

Thomas is hurting, Astana looked very relaxed. Aru is the strongest climber in the race ATM besides Froome (and possibly Quintana)
