I doubt it.

Re:

Oh look they gifted another stage. The way teams always save their domestiques for later, I swear some 10-man teams will make it to Madrid one year.

Looks to be the flavor of the year. The TDF mountain stages were almost 100% gifted. No real will to battle for stage wins among GC riders. We've gotten some amazing break fights, but it does always leave me cold that we don't see the GC men riding for wins.

Almost impossible for him to hold on that jersey at the end of this stage...

8 minutes for the breakaway (Restrepo)

Hopefully not anymore!

 

[Simurgh]

Tinkoff at the front now.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Tinkoff bluffing?

 

[Rollthedice]

How come Restrepo is still not going backwards?

 

[Irondan]

25% ramps, this should be fun...

They should have done a circuit and climbed it 3-4 times - Mur de Huy style...

The Spanish police have so far managed to control their crowds better than the French.

This Restrepo kid looks interesting! Only 21 years old

The Spaniards seem to behave surprisingly nice towards riders as well!

Let's just prey that Contador simply sits on Froome's wheel and doesn't try to follow the fastest riders.

And a former team pursuiter.

Quintana looks good
Atapuma drops

 

[Irondan]

When the road looks steep on tv you know it's freakin steep!

 

[Red Rick]

And they're still not following froome's wheel

 

[Isaak-Gabriel]

Too fast by Movistar, too fast, Froome will gain time.

 

[ice&fire]

Why isn't everybody on Froome's wheel?

 

[Rollthedice]

Frumito doing attempting the yo-yo
