Re:

I believe the only way for Conti to extend his stay in the pink jersey is to make sure he wears it for as long as possible

today.

He'll get in a breakaway and get it back later in the race then Polanc and so on until Verona.

Re:

AG2R absolutely catastrophic.

Vuillermoz didn't get into the break?

WTF

Everybody waiting for MS but Yates has "a bit of a stinker" today.

:lol: Would be so funny

Nevertheless, brillant move from UAE.

Didn't anyone notice UAE is just pretending they're chasing? Or simply no one cares?

 

[gregrowlerson]

This all sounds nearly as bad as when they gave Oscar half an hour, nobody wanting to work. The point is that a team or few only had to work a tiny little bit. Not much to ask after three rest days I wouldn't have thought.

 

[MartinGT]

Slowed down now the clock, but still over 14'.

GC teams bluffing each other?

The worse thing is they only pretend when the camera is on them. They don't even pretend otherwise.

Now that you mention it, I've seen more vigorous leader-jersey-defenses, hmmm...

Re:

Everybody is relaxed, Trek will soon move up to protect Mollema's top 10 place.

Trek is gonna Trek.

Closer to 15. Best bluff ever.

 

[fuiers]

Will the Peloton make the time cut today?

 

[MartinGT]

Over 15' now.

Surly they wont allow it to get to 20'?!

Best part is from tomorrow on we'll see Roglic, Nibali and Mollema in the break.

[Pantani_lives]

As expected a Slovenian will take the pink today.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

I don't understand the complaints, isn't this the kind of cooperation between GC contenders in trying to force the leader's (Roglic doesn't have the jersey but close enough) team to work we always want to see but never do because someone always folds?

Its amasing how in all Yates interviews he alludes to smells and crap

 

[Rollthedice]

Cataldo has now about 12 minutes on his captain.

Where are the complaints?

I think people are a bit surprised more than anything.

Landa even further down in the pecking order ?

Im loving this. I hope Polanc has 10 minutes lead at the end of the day!

 

[MartinGT]

Looks like a lot of the GC riders have just been chilling at the back of the cars, watching football or something!
