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

Yup! Looked like it went straight down on the other side. Cadel's going again now though! Great racing from him!

 

[Captain Sensible]

Evans having another go.

Cadel WTH? Does he really need to take risks? Seems desperate to me.

Think he wants the stage. He's too far back though, I reckon.

 

[vcampbell]

Cadel to set the pace for Sky. Nice.

Barring a crash, Quintana has it in the bag.

 

[goggalor]

Superb descending by both Quintana and Evans. Would like it if Wiggins chased him down himself.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Wiggins losing about 1 second per km

Disconcerting !

 

[Fetisoff]

Oh why, oh why did Ryo have to get banned?

 

[Walkman]

Could Cadel lock up the points classification today?

You don't get better at descending at race speed by NOT descending - ask Andy.

 

[goggalor]

Haha! Evans and Quintana are going crazy.

 

[rghysens]

Looks like Sky will go for the green/yellow double and try to pass the polka to froome in the TdF?

The rest will be there to fight for most combative or red lantern

And thereafter they can control a whole peloton for 250km with 4 men at the olympics before Cav takes of at a speed that will launch him in an orbit around the earth.

Seriously...

Very mediocre climbers like Froome and Porte (yes they are mediocre, last year's vuelta looks more and more like a dress rehearsal) killing all other top contenders for coming tour, Boasson Hagen decimating a whole peloton on a HC climb, Wiggins outsprinting a whole peloton in a flat stage,...

It's not Gewiss, but it's starting to look like it. It reminds me of Sven Nys destroying Niels Albert at the Belgian nationals after a "training stage to Majorca".

If cycling goes on like this, in a few years the only race that may be a bit entertaining will be Paris-Roubaix, if it rains.

 

[Kazistuta]

To let us have some sane quiet time........

Beautiful effort by Quintana!

 

[Publicus]

I think this descent is why Andy abandoned.

 

[Unkown]

Could Cadel lock up the points classification today?

Don't really know how hard tomorrow will be but Gallopin should be able to stay with the bunch by the look of the profile.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Evans seeing red?
A bit daft to be that risky.

 

[goggalor]

Evans gets 10" on Wiggles. Good to see racing in the Dauphiné.

 

[webvan]

Nice descent by Brajko

 

[Walkman]

Don't really know how hard tomorrow will be but Gallopin should be able to stay with the bunch by the look of the profile.

Do you know how many points Cadel get for second today?

 

[Fetisoff]

OK, bring on the Tour de Suisse

 

[hfer07]

remember this !!
Only QUINTANA broke the UK postal engine
remember this !!!

 

[the asian]

Great win fir Quintana. Hopefully it's a preview of things to come in the future!

 

[Moviefan1203]

Evans to attack on every downhill section at the Tour?

Only way to beat the Sky machine.

 

[will10]

Great ride from Quintana, very impressive particularly on the descent.

That was truely UK Postal.
