Re: Re:

Is this the first time Contador and Quintana have properly gone mano-a-mano in a big GT climb?

Yeah, before that I think there was only the 2014 Tirreno stage on the Passo Lanciano

Tour Du Sud

Good point. 2015 Route du Sud.

 

[Rollthedice]

Chavez, a big disappointment.

 

[Lexman]

Froome with Chaves? at 45 seconds or so from Nairo & Alberto?

 

[Scarponi]

Who is toeing chaves?

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Come on Scarponi!!!

 

[rune1107]

Froome is gonna win the stage

 

[GuyIncognito]

Scarponi's having his best day in 5 years

Go El Pistolero!!

 

[Ramira]

Re:

Simon Yates.

 

[luckyboy]

Doesn't look like gap from AC/Nairo to Froome has changed much

 

[wwabbit]

This yoyo string is longer than usual

Re:

[barmaher]

Yates is towing Chaves and Froome.

Re:

Kudos to quintana, his best ride of the year. Very smart, froome is still dangerous

Riding at a pace the dross of the breakaway can match whilst Froome catches back up?

 

[Scarponi]

Re:

That job he did in the Giro this year was monstrous too

 

[meat puppet]

Gesink not gonna make it, I think.

 

[Andro]

They're not gaining time on Gesink.

 

[hfer07]

hope the Condor gets this one

 

[Billie]

Froome on fire

 

[TomLPC]

Really fascinating stage

They attacked on la huesera, the steepest part. Now they're just riding past the flatter parts before giving it gas again

Re:

Froome is doing a nuclear yo-yo.

Would be the greatest yoyo of all time, but looks unlikely now

 

[Rollthedice]

Froome is about to swallow Valverde.

 

[DFA123]

Contador and Quintana are going way too slowly. Both probably saving a bit so the other doesn't sprint off, but they're not going to put Valverde or Froome out of contention.
