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

Re:

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.

Maybe. It's more likely they lose a few seconds in a stage that really doesn't suit Nairo.

The only reason I can figure is that they're doing this is that they rather lose a few seconds here but give Quintana a better shot of catching a slightly more tired Froome on the descent to Lac de Payolle.

Contador mechanical

 

[LaFlorecita]

Mechanical for Berto?

 

[Hawkwood]

I forgot to record this on ITV4 and it seems the race is on! Will have to watch the highlights later.

 

[Red Rick]

When is Contador gonna throw his bike off a cliff?

Re: Re:

Still boring?

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

I was bored about the bored comments. People complaining about a boring race with 100km to go. Ridiculous.

 

[Vroome.exe]

Peloton is called Alaphilippe?

 

[doperhopper]

GVA gained 20sec in the descent

 

[ILovecycling]

Re: Re:

I think Bardet will attack on the next climb

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

Would be no problem for Riccardo Ricco to attack in this pace..

Unless they see the last week as major tough, which it is and are hoping Landa and Poels are stronger then?

 

[deValtos]

Did Contador actually have a mechanical or are people just guessing?

He had a problem with his chain I think. Not a mechanical.

Re: Re:

Just saw Alberto in the group near the back - think the fluo you're mentioning is Rolland in Cannondale green
