Re: Re:

Too bad De Gendt isn't the best descender.

He is chanceless on Joux Plane anyway, I think

Probably but he was pretty impressive on the last climb. Doesn't matter anyway cause he will be 40" down after the descent.

 

[Rollthedice]

Where Is Nibali?

Still there with Kreuz, he has a black rain jacket.

 

[sir fly]

Pantano's really skillful, but hasn't gained much.
He'll take a breather on Jeux Plan and take a shot like to Culoz.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Zakarin and Rolland really have to work on descending skill. They're one minute down.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

astana descending like pussies. truly disgusting behavior. can't believe this is vino. I hope they lose everything today

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Astana pussycat descent

 

[Samamba]

Alaphillipe & Pantano are gone. Its gonna be between them for the win.

25 seconds not a lot?

Rolland crashed yesterday.

 

[Flamin]

When it doesn't rain, imo they should waterspray every descent like they do on a football field.

 

[trucido]

astana riding three wide. nice going!

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

proves once and for all how overrated nibali's descending is as I've been calling here for years

Is it?
Just enough for a breather on Jeux Plan.
How about Alaphillippe?

alaphilippe is the best descender in the peloton but he can't follow on joux plane. and tasking 25 seconds in 5 km descend is massive

 

[saganftw]

peloton is going so slow mollema is catching up in downhill

 

[capuldemetal]

black skies ahead.

Re:

Yeah, because he's really going to risk a crash here with the Olympics looming.

 

[sir fly]

No stage victory for Movi this year?
No victory for Spaniards?

Where are you going to hide after Nibali wins the stage?

Heavy rain incoming.

I think the followers will bridge to the duo on Jeux Plan.

 

[SafeBet]

Kreuziger still virtually second overall.

Re:

It doesn't really though does it? Not a great risk-reward ratio for Nibali going full gas on the descent in this situation.

 

[doperhopper]

looks like they are riding into a storm, completely black in the valley

Re:

Again nobody want to attack from far, so Froome will win this Tour except crash or something like that...

Froome won this Tour long time ago...
