They will catch Pinot and the great Rafail then question is who's gonna sprint for yellow from the huge GC contender group at the finish?

 

[Velolover2]

Any news on the Nibali group? Losing time?

This is a conspiracy!
They've synchronised commercials.

I'm cheering for Morkov today.

Sadly, I think he is done.

Already 6 minutes back on the Sky group.

Big Tony could at least do a pull on the flat

Contador.

 

[Poursuivant]

Landa has done a hell of a pull

 

[Jelantik]

Just tuned in

Why Majka is in the breakaway? Is he going for the Polka dot jersey?

Polka dots and stage win I guess. Or maybe Kreuziger is planning an attack on the Peyresourde and Majka will be up the road waiting for him.

If Kreuziger attacks I fear that some Contador fan will take him out on Peyresourde

you know that what goes around comes around right? Kreuziger can attack and drop contador. But contador bounds to recover over his injury at some point. That's when he returns his favor if he doesn't care about team anymore. He is with Trek. Kreuziger got no contract yet.

Just turned on the broadcast. Anyone from the group of favorites losing time yet?

Alaphillipe is the only one, sitting together with Nibs in a group behind the peloton.

 

[rick james]

Landa has done amazing to bring that gap down

 

[infeXio]

Sky once again sucking all life out of cycling

 

[sir fly]

And what when they catch the breakaway?

 

[ILovecycling]

I think that Landa has a pre-paid leader role for next year giro or vuelta

Re:

Ridiculous that this guy is having to domestique. We want riders like him to be illuminating the race, not joylessly reeling in any interesting looking break.

Re:

sky are riding their own race, its up to teams to break it up

 

[sir fly]

Movi rider at the front.
Contador around the middle of the pack.

 

[TommyGun]

This is getting daft. Kreuziger is 11 seconds down on the leading GC riders, a struggling Contador a further 1.10 down.

Obviously, Tinkoff will let Roman ride his own race, for now at least.

Portuguese Eurosport commentators are always sucking Rui Costa, making up excuses for this and for that.
