Zakarin jumping from the pursuiters now, hope he can catch Majka

Re: Re:

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?

Contador may well have secured 3rd

Against this crowd he might have even got second place.

Only Nieve and Poels for Froome and I think Henao will drop soon.

Edit : My bad. Henao is still there.

Re:

Porte is still there!!! Maybe he will not have a bad day

with TJ dropped Porte has a chance to cement the number 1 in that team today

Another sky going out the back with nibalis pace

 

[saneguy]

Only 2 SkyBorgs left?

Everyone knew Porte was the #1 all along except BMC.

2x Astana +Aru vs. 2x SkyTrain + Vroom

meanwhile Ilnur goes after Pantano+Majka

 

[rick james]

Nieve, Poels and Henao still there for the Dawg

 

[TMP402]

I think I counted exactly 20 left in the MJ group.

 

[Ruby United]

Landa looks done. Sky looked a bit unsettled, and Henao looks like he is hurting a bit but he's still there. Then again having just Poels and Nieve left coming into the final climb many teams (Movistar) would envy

Re:

Last shot Over the top there was still Henao, Nieve and Poels with Froome

 

[Climbing]

Let me guess, another borefest today?
Edit: at least I'm not feeling too bad missing pratically the whole TdF...

Poels (I think) dropped to the back before getting back to Froome, hence the confusion.

 

[Escarabajo]

Majka vs. Pantano II

Astana third week peaks are so awesome, I hope MAL will do the same at la vuelta

Re:

How is Mollema doing today? I am unable to watch and there doesn't seem to be updates.

 

[deValtos]

Breaking news: 4x GT winner drops a sky domestique.

Not true. Many in this forum thought that TJ is a better bid for the GC than Porte because Porte hasn't achieved a glorious 5th place at the Tour yet

A cautionary tale about extrapolations based only on past results without context.

I have to say whatever Braislford and team say or do they get the best out of their doms who ride on when others give up ...that is key ....it seems like they are hypnotised

 

[doperhopper]

damn, still 4 train skyborgs there for Vroom, though probably only 2 fresh...

 

[RattaKuningas]

Landa came back on descent but I think he doesnt have much to offer anymor today.

Mantis. :razz:

Only if Nibali/Rosa can dig deep and practically leave Aru + Froome there may be something interesting on the last climb.

Re:

MAL will have one hand on the Vuelta title trophy by then

 

[Cannibal72]

I honestly can't think of 3 cyclists I'd like to win the stage less.
