Re: Re:
One things for sure; it's going to be a real test of Froome's rouleur skills on those flatter sections towards the end.
Agree, seems very unlikely he's going to get close to bridging. But even if he can limit his losses to just over a minute or so it would almost be like a victory for him at this point.bigcog said:DFA123 said:Yeah, fair point. And that probably takes more out of Quintana than it would out of most riders. It's going to be great to see if Froome can do anything about this on the last climb - he'll probably have to go solo pretty early.GuyIncognito said:DFA123 said:Yep, but Quintana hasn't done too much either. On such a short stage, both should still have enough in the tank until the finish.GuyIncognito said:Quintana. Froome has done zero. The other teams have pulled him along the whole time.
Unless you count going on Valverde's wheel during that early attack on a short climb
But Quintana's taken a few pulls up front. might not make a big difference, or it might. We'll know later
He aint going to make up 2.30 or whatever the gap is going to be, 20-30 seconds max.
