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

[One Eyed Aussie]

Bardet gaining big time.

 

[King Boonen]

Yates still there??!!?

Re:

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.

As above. Bardet will win barring anything stupid by Froome. But Froome seems happy to just take it easy.

 

[Ramira]

So much facial expression and effort for such a small gap by Aru.

Re:

That's everyone's target besides getting rid of Yates/Mollema.

Re: Re:

Don't know why people still have hope that anybody is going to try and get 4+ minutes. Everybody is racing for 2nd/3rd/4th etc

Quintana is not racing for 2nd at all

More like 5th yea

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Yates hanging in there. Wow

 

[TMP402]

Bardet going to replace Mollema in 2nd?

 

[Ramira]

Mollema out of the top 5, is going to have to worry about the top 10

 

[SeriousSam]

Disappointing that no one can leave the group behind

 

[One Eyed Aussie]

Porte definitely struggling.

 

[perico]

This is disgraceful

 

[Miburo]

Credit to Aru, going for it. Hopefully the future of cycling

 

[hoolaparara]

oh so no last 500m dash from purito

 

[PatrickLeeds]

How's Aru?

Telegraph described him as 'pedaling squares' but I have geiven up trusting them

 

[difdauf]

Nice job from astana ? oO

 

[TMP402]

Aru is like the baby dinosaur in Jurassic Park.

 

[rune1107]

Porte cooked. Froome saving energy for tomorrow

 

[perico]

Alejandro had to hurry to the front so Nairo would have a wheel to suck.

 

[Ruby United]

Froome dropped... not that it really matters

 

[Miburo]

Please let quintana be second, cycling gods

 

[Ramira]

Meintjes getting more impressive by the day. He's one of the best climbers today.

Though of course he's probably ridden most conservative of all, so he saved some energy, still impressive.

Edit: And Bardet the only one of the GC riders to actually drop everyone else. That's a shocking indictment of the big names.
