Re:

Why is Nibali assisting Roman? He is going to pass Aru in GC

Liquigas buddies.

Re:

Pantano sprinting to stay in touch with Sagan whilst he's not pedalling.

Who mentioned that Pantano was as good as Sagan downhill again?

His technical skills are pretty good but he's missing about 20kg. :lol:

Helps him on the climbs though.

Re: Re:

I like him, but sometimes you just don't like a certain rider. Don't have to make a big deal of it.

I get the point of not enjoying a great cyclist with an overpowering team and luck win all races. But like I said, I just can't fathom why someone might dislike Peter, the cyclist, unless we dive into blindness and irrationalism or you don't like cycling at all. I'm not interested in that. Maybe I'm limited.

Placing Mollema in that list at this is stage is pretty unfair. He attacked more than most.

Mollema is a disgraceful wheelsucker. It won't be a single stage or 2 that will change that.

He's no more of a wheelsucker than a pletora of other riders in the peloton. Why single out two guys. Mollema isn't even the highest profile among wheelsuckers.

 

[PremierAndrew]

Kreuziger is yet to eat wind. If he's feeling good, he could stay away

Astana rate a stage win higher then 6th place in GC.

Re:

He goes for the stage win I guess.

Re:

Which flag was that trying to take out Rolland (again)

Portuguese. Front group really could have done with having Zakarin to help on the flat. AG2R, Movistar and OBE will be very confident of bringing it back a bit on the flat if they need to.

 

[Alexandre B.]

Gougeard, you doing it wrong.

Re: Re:

Or they want Sky to work more.

Because I'm a dirty bastard and I saw that he might be dutch and wanted to touch a nerve Harmless. Certo?

What the deal is Astana doing, assisting Sky? And Nibs working? What the f...:?

 

[Cannibal72]

FRONT GROUP

Izagirre (Movistar), Sagan, Kreuzinger (Tinkoff), Alaphilippe (Etixx), Rui Costa (Lampre), Pantano (IAM), Nibali (Astana), Gougeard (AG2R)

Have a minute to the rest of the break.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Gougeard is taking turns too ???

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Haha, Nibali pulling while Astana guy being at the front of the peloton.

 

[Arredondo]

Tiralongo at the front of the peloton to protect Aru's 6th place in GC.

Nibali riding at the front in the Sagan group for a possible stage win.

What does Astana want really?

 

[Pantani Attacks]

Re:

Because Nibali doesn't like Aru

 

[MacBAir]

Sou Português but Rui Costa is starting to piss me off. This isn't about being smart, it's about the fact that he doesn't work at all on breaks.

 

[doperhopper]

break wtf? already playing games?

 

[Rollthedice]

Re:

Nibali riding at the front in the Sagan group for a possible stage win.

What does Astana want really?

Aru wants a podium
Vino wants a stage win and a podium
Martinelli wants maybe podium maybe a stage
Nibali wants the stage

Classic Rui Costa. Nothing new about that.

 

[Cannibal72]

Maaaaan, I am so drunk right now ... I apologise in advance for my future posts.

That's what happens when you play the "Astana Tactical Incompetence" drinking game.

I think someone should go and check on The Barb and their liver.

 

[mspgrandi]

to the many asking what is Nibali doing.

this is a Liquigas attack . Sagan Kreuziger and Nibali are very good friends from the Liquigas period.

 

[Andro]

Hilarious Astana vs Astana battle.

 

[saganftw]

i think nibali has a free role in this stage and astana will do their own thing in the peloton

 

[MacBAir]

Re:

But Astana is killing it all because they want to protect a no name placing Vs having a chance to win the stage + make sky and others work so they might put it all on the line for glory.

Pathetic.
