2016 TdF, Stage 19: Albertville → Mont Blanc (146km)

[HelloDolly]

What happened to Mollema ...how did he crash

he badly needs some teammates

Good job he will have Berie next year as his Dom

Quintana fighting with Porte for Froome's wheel.

It's raining, no allergies now. What is he waiting for?

 

[trucido]

Froome riding Thomas's bike like it's his own.

 

[happychappy]

Froome looks better on a bike that isn't his than Quintana looks on his personal bike.

Re:

How I hate Rui Costa, wheelsucker supreme!

It's just clever tactics, Bardet wants to ride onto the podium

 

[Ramira]

And now the race radio and tracker says its 45 seconds, and tv says 56. So about 50 seconds.

And Mollema at 88 seconds. So around 30 to 45 seconds behind the pack.

 

[doperhopper]

mollema almost a minute down

Re:

He's been alone for dozens of km's. Give him a break.

 

[wirral]

Bardet to make the same mistake as he did at Dauphine, panic and be indecisive, hand the stage win to Costa and not make gains in GC.

Re:

Credit to Bardet, he did something.

Porte and Quintana are a disgrace

Porte crashed, and Bardet took advantage of the crashes.

He had Zubeldia with him... but Zubeldia got too much TV coverage and went off the road. (This actually happened)

Re: Re:

As long as no-one gets seriously hurt I kind of like this.

The gaps are small but present. So it's almost every rider for themselves.

No drafting possible.

Me too :razz:

Reminds me of years ago when Ullrich had a mechanical at the bottom of the final climb. Don't remember which.

As a fan I obviously hated it, but watching him race up the climb passing riders left and right was a thing of beauty.

Re: Re:

Porte crashed, and Bardet took advantage of the crashes.

Bardet took advantage of more confident descending.

 

[luckyboy]

Everybody wasted their chance, great. Froome takes up his spot behind future Sky rider Rosa

 

[Fight.The.Power]

This is full gas

 

[Fergoose]

I hope Bardet can somehow podium. Bardet does tend to fade on longer attacks though. Rosa will get it close then Aru jumps over.

That's cycling, and Bardet is just a great descender.
