Re:

This was Froome's great plan?

you simply love Quintana way too much. Compared to Froome.

Frank doing a ton of work for his soon to be teammate

No Ventoux effort anymore......

Re: Re:

They were attacking at the start of the race and it didn't work

And then they did nothing for 100km - before trying a couple of easily marked accelerations with 4km to go.

Perhaps I was wrong to give the suits at Sky more credit than that.

Chaves 3rd

Re:

Wow, Contador looks old all of a sudden, time to bow out gracefully...

Could very well be, but I wouldn't be surprised if he can show up in great form in a GT next year. If he doesn't crash....
Or maybe he's done. Maybe. I don't think he can reach the level of Froome/Quintana anymore.... Allthough I did think he could challenge this TdF. Guess we'll see next year

Latour&Frank hanging by a thread

Felline to get green!

With this wind, Atapuma wasting too much energy against 2 chasers.

Re:

Wonder what Valverde will do about that tomorrow. He stole the green jersey on the final stage last year, so sure he'll have something up his sleeve.

 

[GuyIncognito]

Felline is like right there

He is done. Spent last 3 seasons trying to come up with enough excuses to still give some blind fans a bit of hope that he can even come close to Quintana and Froome's level

But he has to fight against a sprinter, and not against Purito

So mountain trackstands are the new thing apparently.

Latour is f**** crazy.

Sad for Contador, I hope he bounces back next season

 

[GuyIncognito]

Felline gaining

Indeed, he'll have to be even more underhand than he was last year.

Seems to me that Atapuma is gonna take it...

It seems we're back to the old days when Merckx, Hinault (less so), Indurain just seemed worn out when they hit 32, then things "changed"...
