[rm7]

Contador all alone in the world

Re:

I am wonder if cavendish will have problem to catch time limit
pace is really high today

I suspect he won't be too bothered if he gets eliminated. His focus will be switching to Rio and the track in any case.mim sure if it wasn't for the fact that Merckx record is in sight he may well have called it a day already.

Kiserlovski dropped like a stone. He is on such a Crazy downward spiral from 2014 its amazing. WTF hapened to him?!?

 

[MikeTichondrius]

Contador at the back of the peloton

Yates as well. It's starting to look like a Valverde yellow. I honestly can't see Froome blowing up the Peyresourde. It's a race of attrition.

 

[Publicus]

That was Kiserlovski, not Contador, dropping

Re: Re:

He is all alone with teammate Eisel, they are trailing 6 min behind the gruppetto, it will be very tough IMHO

Pitty to hear that, his sprinting form is perfect so far

Cavendish now thinking:

1. Won 3 stages
2. Got Peta Todd at home
3. Don't have to ride Alps.

"Sounds like a win-win-win I don't make the time cut."

 

[deValtos]

The peloton has about 25 riders. It's about where you'd expect Kiserlovski to drop no?

 

[rick james]

And Morkov is out

 

[Carols]

Morkov abandon

 

[huangho]

Morkov abandons

 

[sir fly]

Now I have to cheer for someone else...
Allez Rolland!

 

[Squirbos_19]

Morkov abandons

 

[Gigs_98]

Bye bye morkov

 

[WheelofGear]

Why are Movistar using all their men up? Shouldn't they let Sky use their riders?

 

[Red Rick]

Everyone looks to be at the back because the MoviSky train is so *** long

Re:

They know. Contador was just a bit ahead of him. Didn't seem in trouble with the pace though

 

[DFA123]

Movistar taking a fair few pulls. I wonder if they will try to isolate Froome on the Peyresourde and then drop him over the top and on the descent.

 

[spalco]

Contador looks fine imo.

to be fair, if I had her at home I would even start this race

The scare of my life, i thought the worse...

Chapeau Morkov

Re:

Condator actually looking kinda decent right now.

Well he has two top 10 Giro finishes, plus he was an amazing domestique for Horner at the Vuelta.. Dunno he just seems so weak the last two seasons
