Re:

This is full gas

Not for Poels

 

[Jungle Cycle]

Pantano already working for Trek??....

 

[Pricey_sky]

Mollema's podium hopes are done at this rate

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.

1998 tour stage 10

Well remembered, actually going to look it up to watch it again later today , so thank you.

Bardet panicking. Does it every time.

Re:

No attacks from Aru?

Maybe he is hoping for his trademark 1k burst which has won him some stages already.

Re: Re:

Credit to Bardet, he did something.

Porte and Quintana are a disgrace

Porte crashed, and Bardet took advantage of the crashes.

Bardet took advantage of more confident descending.

Same difference. I don't personally have a problem with it.

 

[aarononymous]

Guess the Trek rumor is true for Pantano

 

[Bumeington]

Majka showboating by holding Mollema's wheel - stick a fork in Bauke?

Well for some, descending away when crash happens is case for capital punishment

Re:

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

Finnish commentators speculated that bikes have identical settings just for these situations.

 

[Jungle Cycle]

Caruso really good...

 

[TMP402]

Quintana!

 

[wirral]

Sky deliberately leaving a gap when Porte pushed on.

 

[Forever The Best]

Quintana is a disgrace.

 

[happychappy]

Cowardly Quintana is in front of Froome for the first time in the entire tour.

 

[SeriousSam]

Super Richie attack imminent

 

[Ramira]

Porte looking good, seems he didn't waste all that much energy getting back to the pack.

 

[woodburn]

Caruso >> TJ

 

[Miburo]

God, it hurts so much seeing Poels looking back the whole time. Such an ugly riding style

 

[Fergoose]

If Bardet can survive until the domestiques are burned up he stands a chance. The others are too frightened to attack and put their nose in the wind. Aru probably lost chance of podium now. Porte too. Leaving it too late.

 

[jalep]

Please, please god. Bardet get this...

 

[luckyboy]

Pantano working for Mollema. Heh

 

[Tyke1968]

Yates still there?

 

[Red Rick]

Sky riding after guys who are 7 minutes down
