Re:

Things fall apart ...

Normally wheels don't ...

That was just bizarre. Think I'd lose a lot of confidence in my equipment if that happened to me or a teammate.

Brailsford is fuming right now with sky's mechanics

Re:

nah... that wasn't the mechanics fault. the wheel was clearly broken.

 

[TourOfTexas]

Rohan Dennis, pale of skin, but dark in terms of fortitude. He really is the Dark Knight.

 

[RattaKuningas]

Excellent time by BMC missile.

 

[Akuryo]

Strong ride by BMC. They were a lot faster than everyone else.

 

[frisenfruitig]

Damn, didn't expect them to be this much faster. Impressive

 

[rune1107]

Did Movi and FDJ have exactly the same time?

Re:

It was a combination of hanging for Landa, Viviani dropping back while Moscon took a tumble.
(hit a pothole at 60kms)

Rai also saying that Rosa and Landa both had flats. I'd hate to be a Sky mechanic right now...

I wouldn't rule out Rohan Dennis being BMC's leader, instead of TJ.

Really? Who is the winner?

Quintanita vs Pinot

Three broken wheels for three different riders.

 

[Velolover2]

Sky needs to go stage hunting now.

2 flat tires and one broken wheel no?

 

[yaco]

Well if TJ is in good shape he can podium from this position - He will do just about the best ITT and if he can hold it in the mountains - Doubt Dennis can climb better than TJ.

 

[Mr.White]

whether it was some kind of mutiny of Sky mechanics? :lol:

Thomas says 3 broken wheels

Pinot will have to distance Yates in Terminillo (unlike two years ago), because he's likely to lost time in Fermo.

 

[WheelofGear]

Maybe Tejay can finally win a big race.

 

[Red Rick]

Re: Re:

Quintana. And I don't think it will be even close, unless Nibali has a spring he hasn't had in years.
