Re: Re:

Felline needs to be 6th on the stage, if he is to pass Valverde in the points classification

The chasers also need to catch Sanchez who has 79 points now

75 points. Unless they suddenly changed the system

75+4 for the sprint.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Just took a spin, everything was on fire, now the break is at 11. What happened? Contador, Chaves, Fromme - nobody wants the stage at least? Disappointing. Bad luck first for Valverde not to get in the break.

No 71+4

Re: Re:

I'm disappointed we won't see the GC guys fight it out for the stage

Alberto could let his team ride to catch the break

Yeah of course but he clearly isn't very confident in his legs

That's not Alberto like.

What's to lose?

Well, does his team really have the power? But the lack of trying suggests to me he doesn't feel great.

Terrible this stage goes to a break.

they give points at the sprint, no?

What was the big city they raced through 10 min ago?

 

[roundabout]

Oh, right, was looking at the virtual standings and thought that it was after stage 19.

Still, Felline would probably need him to be caught

 

[Miburo]

Contador is the biggest disgrace in this stage, didn't try anything and doesn't even go for the stage win

 

[Eshnar]

just tuned in. Quick resume?

Yes 4, 2 and 1

Hugely frustrating. Froome could use the bonus seconds and could win the stage, Chaves and Contador haven't got a win yet and this is their last chance. Can't believe they are just letting Movistar set a snail pace.

thanks

 

[Miburo]

Chavez is a disgrace too, didn't expect much from Froome but Contador never dissapointed me as much as now. Legs don't matter, he didn't even try.

What's funny?

Strange stuff from Orica

Re:

Alcoi

 

[LaFlorecita]

Orica are back, let's see how long they last this time

Alcoi

Thanks. Looks pretty. I love the bike racing, but it often gives to time to look at the scenery.

 

[classicomano]

This stage is a big of jizz.

Movistar forming its own echelon behind Orica to fully protect Nairito

 

[jsem94]

Calling someone who animated the race beyond belief just a week ago a disgrace because he doesn't want to risk his podium place on a kamikaze attack is nothing short of ridiculous.

It is, if it came from anyone else than Miburo. He is 100% in his right IMO.

Big props! Great work by the team throughout the race
