Re: Re:

Rain at the finish line right now according to the esteemed Phil Ligget.

Heavy rain?

Bad for Porte, Aru and Van Garderen. Good for Rodriguez, Quintana, Yates, Henao.

Bad for Froome most significantly.

Why ?

Because everyone confuses him with wiggo

Why ?

because its a myth that he can't cycle in the rain, just like he can't do cobbles, crosswinds or down hill racing

Indeed. When will it ever stop?
Froome did fade once badly in a T-A rainy hilly stage though, but he has had good days in the rain as well.

As Sherwin says Quintana hanging on to Froomes wheel to send a message, "I'm here and I'm going to.. who am I kidding I'm not going to do anything"

Dumoulim will join the select group of stage winners in all GTs.

Roads look wet

 

[djpbaltimore]

Voight still thinks it is possible that the break is caught by the peloton!?!?

 

[TommyGun]

Rain is perfect for Pinot

 

[One Eyed Aussie]

Impossible, the climb is way to short for catching them.

 

[Kwibus]

Costa and Pinot chasing together. Not good for Dumoulin.

About as smart as a commentator as he was as a rider.

 

[rick james]

Fan out cold?

 

[Velolover2]

Purito scripts on the roads. I hope he will try something.

 

[Kokoso]

F***** spectators. More Froome-lie acts.

Tbh i do not believe he can make it. Quality behind is bigger uphill

 

[Pricey_sky]

Bennett wipes out a fan, hope he's ok but for goodness sake get out of the way!!

 

[Gigs_98]

At least bad weather.

 

[Rollthedice]

The only guys who can drop Froome are his own teammates, collectively known as the Sky train.

 

[trucido]

Bennett WWE finisher!

his own paranoia

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Give us the gap from Dumoulin to the chase for God's sake.
