Re: Re:

Costa and Pinot chasing together. Not good for Dumoulin.

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

Once you start believing he'll get caught.

The curse of the dutch. Poor kruiswijk

That spectator got rekt.

Re: Re:

Heavy rain?

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

Bad for Froome most significantly.

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.

Yes, and it wasn't even that bad. He lost 48 seconds to Nibali and Rodriguez and 6 seconds to Contador and Horner.

We want thunderstorms

VAI RUI

Rui Costa is loving the rain.

 

[Kokoso]

Landa's tempo sucks.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Is Pinot ahead of Costa or behind the Majka group?

 

[sir fly]

Quintana doesn't look fresh.

 

[spalco]

Come on guys, time to wake up.

 

[RattaKuningas]

Boring. No wonder teams have difficulties getting sponsors. There is nothing to watch.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Terrible coverage of the front of the race. No gaps.

They're all like "now that the evil man who always disturbed us with his silly unexpected atacks it's gone, no one can stop us from riding all togheder until 3 km to go in every stage" muhahaha

 

[wirral]

I want to see that fan takedown again. Is it on youtube yet?

 

[djpbaltimore]

Hard to tell if Majka is sandbagging or his form is just not good enough. Looking more like the latter.

 

[webvan]

What a pathetic race, gets worse each year!

Massive turn by Landa

Landa pulls off after quite literally a 30k mountain pull

It's the former, I think.

True that! Were doomed!

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Garbage stage so far.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Finally they give gaps. Dumoulin has 56 seconds on Pinot/Majka, which given that we can see Costa relative to the Pinot group means about 45 seconds on Costa.

Kelly thinks that Rosa is in between Dumoulin and Costa, but he's wrong isn't he?

 

[Velolover2]

Geraint Thomas leading the peloton in hail.
