Re: Re:

You have to damit that objectively that wasn't a very good tour.

Freudian slip?
No, no we don't. It wasn't all that competitive GC-wise, sure. But outside of that I found it one of the most entertaining stage races in ages.

What?

Ages = time passed between the end of Suisse and the Tour

Pellaud has 0 chances to win :/

Let's wait and see.

He needs 4 minutes atleast for the last 5 kms. More even.

Don't think hhe has a chance

4 minutes? Isn't it just 1.8 km @ 13.8%?

But the Österreich Rundfahrt was better than the tour :roll eyes:

Edit: And there was the tour de pologne too, and while the Österreich Rundfahrt was a joke the tour de pologne was actually really better than the tour.

climb takes about 7 minutes i read somewhere...

2 minutes should be enough. Of course, you can never rule out a last-minute implosion, especially with young riders, but Pellaud's the favourite right now.

yes and the guys from the break will easily lose 2 minutes on those 1.8 kms but in the peloton there also will be a mad dash by the teams to put their leaders at the front so there they'll also lose couple minutes

Exactly. 2 minutes head start should be enough.

Nah, Geniez and Serry both have way better chances of winning. It's also more likely that someone from the peloton will win than Pellaud.

 

[CheckMyPecs]

Oh well, as soon as I type that, he starts pedalling squares.

 

[Flamin]

Pellaud gonna have to walk up Ézaro.

 

[Rollthedice]

Pelaud is already dead.

 

[Jelantik]

sky tried to control?

 

[Popchu]

Serry and Geniez, what advantage do they need for the last climb? 2 minutes?

 

[rick james]

Pellaud in a mess

 

[Billie]

Geniez lost 1.32 in 2012. now having been in the break all day he'll lose more than 2 minutes

 

[CheckMyPecs]

That'll teach me to trust young riders.

Re:

IMO opinion a little more than 2 minutes. But what do I really know....

 

[portugal11]

Typical vuelta's stage, boring as fu#k until murito sprint

 

[Gigs_98]

I'm really afraid of Sky now. I'm just really afraid Froome somehow is strong again and the Vuelta becomes as boring as the tour.

 

[Lexman]

haha when you saw how Pellaud had all problems of the world to get first on that 3rd cat climb you knew what was coming...

Did Geniez have any special motivation to go all out in 2012?
