Pantano legend! ES still doesn't recognize his sprinting abilities

He has a good sprint, but unless Pantano is fully cooked, he's unlikely to win
Then again, what's the finish like? Twisty, or can there be a proper sprint?

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.

Prepare yourselves for a royal battle on descending skills: Nibali vs Pantano

And prepare yourself for the lack of descending skills, Zakarin is approaching the top of the mountain!

If it is the classical Morzine finish, it is slightly uphill and not that twisty.

Admittedly I don't like Sky, and I realise they have every right to do this and protect their position, but damn this climb would be a lot more interesting without them.

Bardet, Quintana, Yates and Porte have 1:16 between them and they can't do a thing..

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