Re:

For a little guy, Bardet descends as well as anyone I've seen.

Little guy? He's 6"1

Hell of a ride by Bardet. Tomorrows stage on paper suits him even better; wouldn't be surprised if he won again.

:lol: would love it.

and here I was worried about pressure on him to perform

Re:

Turd of a stage. Thank god for Bardet.

Just imagine if Costa won, eh?

Re:

Is Nibali hurt? It will affect his preparation for the Olympics

As for Olympic TT, Dennis and Izaguirre might have a shot with Tom and Froomey hurt

Re:

Someone should reconsider the * in the Nibbles Tour looking at who's who in this tour and the level displayed by Teams and riders

Someone should look at the calendar and how many days have passed since the Giro.

Little guy? He's 6"1

but weighs only a bit more than a small sized dog

Re:

Yates loses white jersey and podium...great day for Cycling.

You seem to take an awful lot of joy in Anglos failing. Just bizarre.

Oh, and you're wrong, by the way.

Wow, really, my bad. I guess I was fooled because facially he looks 14 years old.

Can I just skip every last 3 days of a GT?

3rd GT in a row things go to hell in the last couple of stages for a Dutch rider.
Even worse though, Dumoulin.. if he misses Rio I'm not even able to watch the TT anymore. Ffs

Mollema is a very good 2 week racer. Not so good at a 3 week race unfortunately.

He crashed. Ffs.

 

[One Eyed Aussie]

No all anglophone podium.

 

[PremierAndrew]

Wooooo Bardet such a classy rider

That weather made that stage absolutely epic. After today I completely give up with Quintana

 

[Rollthedice]

Chapeau Bardet! The others are either all stepped up their level or are all pretty weak to come home with such small gaps. Poels again the strongest of all these GC wannabees, except of course his captain.

 

[doperhopper]

How about Landis moment for Aru tomrrow?

 

[Ramira]

Going to be interesting for the podium tomorrow:

1. Froome
2. Bardet + 04' 11''
3. Quintana + 04' 27''
4. Yates + 04' 36''
5. Porte + 05' 17''

With the others a bit to far behind:

6. Aru + 06' 00''
7. Valverde + 06' 20''
8. Meintjes + 07' 02''
9. Martin + 07' 10''
10. Mollema + 07' 42''

Yep, wrong by about 2 and a half minutes.

He certainly's got that boygroup star look making him the perfect male pendant to lovely Pauline Ferrand-Prevot!

He's pretty close to Froome in terms of both height and weight, and I wouldn't exactly call Froome 'a little guy'

 

[Ruby United]

Quintana getting on the podium is a joke. I don't dislike him at all (though many on this group seem to simply because he's out of form - how do you think the poor guy himself feels) but he simply doesn't deserve a podium

 

[Cycling1984]

I am going to be very cruel here...Quintana wtf , not even one attack yet you mark everyone elses attack like a Sky super dom. This tour has really put me off Quintana and if he keeps riding future tours hoping for a third week miracle, well then he doesn't deserve to win the MJ!!!

Feel sorry for Valverde in this years tour, he was cost a certain Podium and probably clear second place supporting that wheel sucker.

I certainly would.

I was talkin about the Tour he won, which someone here consider a less win because of a weak field...

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Also Valverde is just unbelievable.

I wouldn't be surprised if he went to the Vuelta too.
