2016 TdF, Stage 8: Pau → Bagnères-de-Luchon (184km)

[TMP402]

For someone whose Plan A is never to respond to attack, to do the 1-2 tactic is quite a change.

 

[SeriousSam]

Where is Roman Kreuziger, are Tinkov's GC aspirations still intact?

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Re:

How many together?

Looks like eleven at the moment. A few came back.

 

[Oliwright]

Froome didn't go full gass, just testing opposition?

 

[huangho]

Nice stage tbh

 

[arvc40]

Froome punching crowd. Quintana has upset him

Re:

Yes, he's with the favorites.

 

[Velolover2]

Are they over the top yet? I'm eating so I can't watch.

 

[Miburo]

Halfassed attack from quintana

 

[infeXio]

Henao so strong

 

[trevim]

Quintana almost attacked there

 

[More Strides than Rides]

1k to the top.

Re:

Half arsed attacks by Froome, what is this?

I guess they're reading the forum.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Smart move from Bardet and Quintana. Needed to distance Contador.

 

[PremierAndrew]

This is getting me so hyped for tomorrow

 

[burning]

OH MY GOD, QUINTANA JUST ATTACKED FOR 3 SECONDS

Yes, he's with the favorites.

His main domestique is in trouble again.

 

[Walkman]

This stage will be remembered as the stage of halfassed attacks...

 

[rick james]

why hasn't porte attacked?

 

[Eclipse]

Good punchy last couple of K to the climb thankfully

 

[huangho]

Henao seems the strongest here in the group

 

[Velolover2]

Henao is the only rider left for Froome? It seems like he is setting a good pace. Is Yates still there?

 

[infeXio]

Re:

why hasn't porte attacked?

He doesn't know how to

 

[arvc40]

Sky tactics neatly isolate Froome

Re:

Literally punchy, in Froome's case.
