Kirby is such a ...

Well, Izaguirre did sneak out in Switzerland in similar conditions.

Re: Re:

Not even a single GC attack. This must go down as one of the most pathetic Tour ever.

How would that happen at that pace? You don't seem to understand how fast the Sky train is moving.

Exactly. People need to understand how the Sky team have just sapped the strength out of Froome's rivals. Just brilliant teamwork.

Every team has that level of simple basic teamwork. The only difference is Sky have so many watts because their budget dwarfs the rest

It's not just about money. It's the meticulous preparation, the close training regime. You haven't seen that kind of team ethic in any other team.

Obviously nobody else wants to win it then. Always knew it was all about the special motorhomes. If only. They have the best rider IMO. No question about it. But they also have money for a crazy strong set of domestiques. GT challengers. Monument and GT queen stage winners. World TT champ. Most of their riders would be top 2/3 in any other team. It's USP like.

Froome why? Silly.

Disappointingly predictable attack free finale it is.

Re:

This is the descent where Quintana lighted our hearts in 2012....goood ol days

In light terms in this Tour he is one of those new sustainable lightbulbs that take ages to warm up and when they do they aren't quite as bright as you want them.

Izaggire has it in the bag, Pantano has to be at least 10s off

Past the corner where a certain someone broke his leg...

Re:

He's not, it's Kirby being an idiot.

Re: Re:

Pantano has to be most aggressive rider of the Tour, right?

Sagan was announced as winner already.

Hard to disagree when he was robbed of it last year, but I'd have given it to Pantano nonetheless, solidified in that view by today's stage - why is the decision made so prematurely?!

 

[The Barb]

Fabulous breakaway action.

Re:

Froome why? Silly.

He didn't attack it was just because there was a gap to Thomas

Vamos Spain! Movistar/ Ion Izaaa

Ala is nuts, risk for nothing

 

[AICA ribonucleotide]

Aru is 9 minutes back behind the peloton. He's lost his top 10.
Mollema is 4 minutes back.

This is the last I'll post on the topic, but, I doubt it very, very, very much.
