@inrng wrote earlier on twitter that Quintana's knee is still sore from the crash. He certainly got to test it out today. Hope it and he improves!

I won't complain if this is the worst version of Quintana we're going to see this year.

 

[Lequack]

Quintana just didnt feel like winning today, thats why other had the chance.

Quintana - right form at the wrong time or wrong form at the right time. Anyway if his weight is off, then he is better off using the TDF as training and give support to Barguil.
Perhaps Vlasov should take over leader duties from MAL for TDF.

 

[Lequack]

How good is Vlasov in TT?

 

[Escarabajo]

His weight looked fine. I don't think that was the issue today.

Not great. But not awefull.

Quintana will be fine. He's coming back from an injury and will win the tour.

 

[DenisMenchov]

Vlasov looks like a real deal.

 

[HelloDolly]

I dont think Quintana is coming back from injury ...he is injured

That Team Arkea Samsic DS that was didnt seem very happy

Quintna looked so good in February and now

If I was Vino I'd start thinking about bringing Vlasov to the Tour as a 2nd option. He's flying right now and it's not sure if he'll be able to hold that kind of form until the Giro starts, strike the Iron while it's hot.
Aru looks like he's improving and on the right track for the Tour, same as Latour.

 

[Escarabajo]

I agree with Mayo. And bring Harold as well.

Looks like Vlasov's extrapolated time for the full climb is faster than Armstrong 2002 and Froome 2013. Incredible overall level today.

By looking at him pedaling he was really flying. I remember Mayo flying in 2004 on Mont Ventoux and that opened some alarms with other coaches and riders. Then we know what happened.

With everything going on I actually missed this Ventoux climb completely!

Maybe I should create a Richie Porte final bid for a top 10 Tour finish thread
