2016 TdF, Stage 7: L'Isle-Jourdain → Lac de Payolle (163km)

[WheelofGear]

Will there be any attacks from the GC today? Still a large peloton. Maybe they'll wait for Andorra Arcalis.

Re:

Seriously, does anyone know where Barguil is?

He surely must be back with the main group because they're on go slow right now.

Memories of 2008, doped to the hills obviously but a great spectacle still

 

[Eclipse]

Nibali's still trying to ride into form. Should be pretty obvious given he sat up on the previous heavy climbing stage and he's not dropping Impey here lol

Re: Re:

Alberto looks worse than wednesday, if there is an attack he will be gone I think

Yep.. well not too surprising I suppose

But it's moronic that Sky and Movi don't push him out of the GC for good. He is not the guy you want trailing by 3 min in the Alps

Does anyone mind telling me why Cummings is climbing "that well" ??

 

[WheelofGear]

How many riders in the peloton? Looks like there still is 60-70.

 

[rick james]

Pinot struggling

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Group ride from the main contenders.
Pinot toward the back.

Re:

What is going on here? Cummings putting time into Nibali?

I can't comment, I believe its tactics

 

[markene2]

Why Pinot....

It looks like they are on strike in solidarity with the French unions.

He will lose several minutes tomorrow and on Sunday probably, no need to push hard today.

Pinot and Contador are struggling but no one want to gain time on them ??

Re:

back in the main group. Just a leg stretch it seems.

Tactics and science

 

[portugal11]

Pinot is so strange... i think bardet will be the best french in le tour.

Re:

Apparently, the consensus is that he has a ceramic chain or something.
Probably had some beet root juice in the morning too.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Oh no Pinot.

 

[woodburn]

Pinot about to die

 

[Andro]

It seems like Movistar and Sky have already written off Pinot and Contador and don't care about putting time into them today.

 

[WheelofGear]

Pinot should slip back and try to win the double. (Alpe d'Huez + Mont Ventoux)..

 

[Rollthedice]

Pinot looks dead.

 

[TMP402]

Ticker says 9.6km as Cummings goes through the 10km banner.

 

[Jelantik]

oooo pinoooottt..
