2016 Tour de France, Stage 5: Limoges → Le Lioran (216km)

[LaFlorecita]

Such a small group Tibo managed to get back to that group after his mechanical, don't know if that was already mentioned

 

[Taxus4a]

Movistar, best team of the world.

Pinot struggling.

Re:

Poels also out the back for Sky.

Landa as well.
Froome, Henao, Nieve and Thomas for Sky in the front group.

 

[PremierAndrew]

Bardet looking decent considering the calibre of some of those that are struggling

 

[Squirbos_19]

Alaphillipe seems to be struggling

 

[HelloDolly]

Allaphillipe struggling

Re: Re:

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

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.

He already lost a few wheels

I would be shocked if he wasn't uncomfortable. He's not exactly at his healthiest.

However he's still there, meaning he still has form, and he's not given up. I think as long as he's good enough that he still believes there's a chance he'll stay close enough to cause some fireworks once he's healthy (or at least healthier).

Nibali sat up and I'm pretty sure a couple of the Sky boys who dropped off did too. No point burning yourself out this early when there are other teammates there. Their jobs comes later in the race

 

[ILovecycling]

I think Bardet will attack on the next climb

 

[portugal11]

Tonton had a heartattack

 

[Kwibus]

Still boring?

 

[rick james]

Sky not looking the best so far

Re:

2 more moviemen drop off the front and off goes Valverde first, Quintana to watch who goes after..

 

[pink_jersey]

Rui Costa isn't in the front group.

Re:

Why were people complaing about boring 1st week in the tour? Last 2 years were exceptions, it usually is boring as *** unless crashes happên

 

[PremierAndrew]

wtf is that moto doing

 

[rick james]

Bertie dropped?

 

[Andro]

Contador mechanical? lol, the guy has no luck

Re:

It's impossible to attack with this pace. Movistar is killing it.
Mechanical AC!
