[Red Rick]

Noooooeeeeuuuwwww

 

[ILovecycling]

Alberto is holding wheels!!!!

Vamooooooooooooooooos!

 

[Miburo]

Contador is looking pretty good. Pls don't jinx it

 

[HelloDolly]

Nibali dropped

 

[woodburn]

Nibs won't be doing the double.

 

[sir fly]

Peloton really trimmed down. And there are climbs still to go.

 

[RattaKuningas]

Considering who droppes before Sagan, he must be in his life form.
Didn't expect Nibali be dropped.

 

[rick james]

Strong pace from Movistar

 

[Andro]

Landa gone

 

[Simurgh]

Landa dropped!

 

[Ramira]

Well it seems Movistar is willing to be more aggressive than a year ago.

If they keep the pressure up, even when it's only Froome left to contend with it could be an interesting Tour.

 

[Pantani Attacks]

Nibali wow

 

[perico]

Contador right on Nairos wheel.

 

[PremierAndrew]

Movistar absolutely ripping this race apart

 

[maltiv]

So about 30-40 riders have to crash out for Nibali to win this race. Anything is possible, I guess.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Kreuziger looking great so far.

Nibali clearly isn't on form. He's not even really trying to keep up, he's rather given up.

So I wouldn't take to much from him dropping. Names don't mean as much if there's no form to go with it.

However the group is starting to get pretty small, so it's still impressive from Sagan.

 

[rick james]

Landa dropped

 

[Andro]

De Gendt should still have the stage unless he completely cracks, but it's not gonna be with more than 2-3 minutes to the GC guys.

I don't know, to me it looks like he is struggling a bit. But the pace is high of course, so maybe that's normal. He's out of the saddle, at least.

 

[HelloDolly]

Landa dropped

 

[Eclipse]

Nibbles basically sat up, we won't see him until the third week

Movistar really laying down a marker with this

 

[Andro]

Movistar and Sky with 4 riders each in the group.

 

[Simurgh]

Pinot struggling at the back of the peloton

 

[rick james]

Poels also out the back for Sky.
