The climbing has yet to start, so much is still possible. 70km to go, what do you guys expect?
In the end were getting 2 fights. The breakaway and I'm certain the real GC man will try something as well.
They aren't. Tinkoff is slow pedaling. Either the other teams let a rider like Majka back in the race or you slow pedal and allow Contador to loosen his muscles. They aren't riding to protect the lead right now.PremierAndrew said:I think this breakaway will be brought back if the peloton works from here

You're right.GP Blanco said:sir fly said:So, is it a consolation stage for De Gendt after his epic barb wire episode?
Barb wire was Hoogerland.

Giant, Movistar, FDJ, possibly Katusha, Cannondale and NL-Jumbo all have reason to chase, I'm guessing the break won't decide the winner.
Cannondale have a history of putting all their men on the front and driving the pace at the midpoint of a stage for no reason whatsoever.

I guess what he needs is a co sponsor ...but who would get into bed with Oleg......his outbursts alone would not be good if you were interested in PR for your company

Nobody. This is the clown who threatened the team chef during the Giro, chef quit at race end, so Basso and Contador's press man ended up doing the cooking at Dauphiné.
AC is out of contract anyway, and can leave if he wants. It's pretty much only Sagan and Majka who'd be trapped if Tinkov stayed in.
i'm afraid he's way to heavy not to suffer a crushing defeat on any serious stage featuring high mountains.MikeTichondrius said:Just switched on after the Puy St. Mary. The peloton is really enjoying a weekful of sunday rides through France it seems. Man I hope Greg gets 15 minutes on everyone else. I want him to do that and keep yellow until the friggin' Alps to make them pay for this.
sir fly said:There has to be a reason why's Sky spending so much time at the front.
Maybe there are some issues with Froome.
Froome was off the back earlier, but I thought it was mechanical.sir fly said:There has to be a reason why's Sky spending so much time at the front.

Was that Hannah Grant? :surprised:
What's the chef story?
