Whats with the Sky hate ?! This has nothing to do with USP where LA always took off alone.

If I remember well it goes up again after the top right?

Poor Cadel didn't remember apparently...

 

[Trofinios]

Come on Evans!

 

[Publicus]

He should have attacked on the ascent to get a gap too push the pace. This is stoopid.

 

[vcampbell]

Evans, wow, what a super attack. He is my hero.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

So how much time will Evans take on the descent?

 

[Bala Verde]

The few MTF finishes in the TDF aren't all of the Ventoux type where a perpetual mistral will deter any attacks right? If the SKY train goes at full speed, there is little to be gained uphill by a lone attack.

 

[goggalor]

Think Evans went too early. He gets to lead the descent tho

 

[Dutchsmurf]

Evans wasting energy it seems.

 

[Wilba60]

Good stage for Aussie cycling fans with 3 in the lead group and Weening representing GE.

Evans is off and charging on the downhill, this will be interesting.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

The long awaited descent and Evans attacks - lets see how much Wiggins loses

GAME ON

 

[happychappy]

Evens leading out the Sky Train! Choo Chooooo!

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Because this is the Dauphine, and most of the big guns are not in shape

About time to get in shape if you ask me, Wiggins and Evans are... I get the peaking thing, but it doesn't look right.

 

[vcampbell]

Evans has a 0.002 second gap. Impressive.

 

[Wilba60]

Sorry not lead group but second group on the road...you know what I mean

 

[Fetisoff]

tour is gonna be Wiggins, Froome, Porte and Rogers for the the top 4.

I think none of them will be top 4 by the way

 

[Fidolix]

New sheriff in town, amazing ride by SKY and Wiggo.
But seriously I think Wiggo peaked to early, still 5 weeks to the hardest week of the tour, he just might miscalculated.
But no doubt SKY will take the lead in the tour, awesome team.

You can be in shape and still not bother showing it. Being in shape doesn't mean you have to ride top 10 here.

 

[goggalor]

Bit of a misleading profile?

 

[webvan]

Sky need to hire a top descender now, Savoldelli maybe?

 

[Unkown]

If you actually read my post I was saying that there is no way they aren't at 100% form, it was a joke.

 

[goggalor]

Go Quintana!! Hope someone tries something on the descent still.

 

[webvan]

Bit of a misleading profile?

That's Joux Plane to you, Cadel and you will know for the next time ;-)

 

[maltiv]

Would be awesome if Quintana makes it. Really deserved victory, in that case.

 

[Fidolix]

Wiggo is actually a fairly good descender him self.

 

[Gloin22]

Moreno joined the group now.
