Re: Re:

It would be pretty fun if Quintana and Valverde attacked and went clear on the last climb today, then completely refused to work together, while some clogger like Pinot came from behind and took the win.

lol, this was exactly the scenario I had in my mind. It would be even more funny though with Quintana and Valverde both doing their utmost to ensure the other doesn't win.

I hope Quintana will not be babysitting Valverde as in Vuelta..

Re: Re:

What about Roglic? Where is he now?

Don't think he made it back. He was standing around for over a minute and the teammates weren't waiting.

And that's why you need radios in this race

Re:

It's 4'40 now

No way they'll make it

You're right. They are bleeding right now. Down to less than 3:30.

Re:

His teammates all waited for him, the Slovenia team were all 50 seconds back at the end of the lap

Oh that's a great job.

Time to dnf, grab a beer and watch the last 50km

Great to see GvA getting involved. What a beast of a rider.

Re: Re:

I wonder when the Dutch will start to do something.

When it's too late, no doubt

Dutch tactical sharpness is female only

It's like the Simpson gene

Vmt, such a superb racer. Probably would have been a GT winner and won loads more classics had he been riding in the 60s-70s, before everything became so specialized.
