And so... with less than 10 Ks to go of the Mount Ventoux race, this thread gets stickied!
Better late than never, I suppose...

Fabio Aru not suffering on a climb is quite the sight nowadays.

Fabio Aru not suffering on a climb is quite the sight nowadays.

He looks surprisingly strong.

 

[Earns1985]

Barcelo, Herrada, Quintana, Vlasov, Elissonde,Porte, Aru, Tejada,Martin left

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

I must admit, Martin looks stronger than i expected. Still Vlasov looks so easy.

 

[Laplaz]

Barcelo, Herrada, Quintana, Vlasov, Elissonde,Porte, Aru left

G. Martin too

 

[RedheadDane]

Was that Aru... actually looking relaxed while going up a tough climb?
Well... now I've seen it all!

Anyway; G. Martin attacked.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

He looks surprisingly strong.

 

[bob.a.feet]

Hope you didn't put too much money on that.

Put the wife and kids on it

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Martin looks good.

 

[ice&fire]

Aru is spinning on a shorter gear than anyone else in the leading group

 

[RedheadDane]

Put the wife and kids on it

So... if you're right you'll get an extra wife, and double the kids?

 

[SafeBet]

Gap is about 20 seconds on Tejada/Aru. More on the group.

 

[RedheadDane]

So... will it be a Cofidis-Ag2R 1-2 again?

 

[Red Rick]

Latour making an art out of bonking

 

[bob.a.feet]

So... if you're right you'll get an extra wife, and double the kids?

Hopefully yes - though I can cash out now for just the one child.

 

[Escarabajo]

Lopez showing that he is lacking kilometres on his legs. But he comes back. He said that he hates rollers.

 

[Alexandre B.]

I don't understand Astana tactics. They have numbers but do nothing.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

So... if you're right you'll get an extra wife, and double the kids?

Maybe he'll get 10 wives, depending on Martin's odds.
Something to consider.

 

[Escarabajo]

Some riders with some rust on their legs. This is the first race for some of them.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Vlasov goes

 

[Alexandre B.]

Of course now they attack.

 

[SafeBet]

Wow Vlasov is beautiful on the bike.
Quintana quite clearly not as sharp as earlier this year.

Porte dropping Nairo

 

[Red Rick]

Richie Porte riding like Vlasov is an Ineos contract
