Martin about to catch Fuglsang? If so, no GC win

Re:

why the **** is Porte pacing Froome up the hill ?

You do realise that if Porte didn't keep riding he loses the race to Fuglsang. Froome is cooked and losing time.

Re: Re:

do you have eyes? Froome is spent if porte wants to win he has to pace

he finally left him but he should have just blown by him as soon as him caught him and not just move in front of his good buddy (lol) who tried to put him in the barriers and left him on the previous climb when he did all the work

Re:

Might've taken a bit out of everyone this, Quintana certainly wont be unhappy here

Is it really possible to draw inferences like that about your opponents' training plan?

 

[Carols]

Fly Birdsong!!!!

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Fun fact:

Fuglsang and Porte are personal friends and training buddies, they live practically next door to eachother

 

[Orbit501]

1:15 the GC gap from Porte to Birdsong. Assuming 10 second bonus then Birdsong should just take Yellow.

Re: Re:

So exciting! Will we enter a new age with the Birdsong era, or will Porte manage to retrieve the Porte era from the jaws of death?

They're both 32, the era won't really be long either way

LOL As long as the Pappy Horner Era!?!?

 

[The Barb]

Magnificent Porte albeit in defeat.

Valverde shut down early, as did Alberto.

Both will be better in july.

Re: Re:

Is Contador behind Porte/Froome?

Far behind. I wouldn't be surprised if he got in the car at this point. Looks like he warming down

he was distracted by the pretty flowers beside the road and decided to take a nap.

Honestly it was smart. He wasn't going to win stage and he's not going to win race, I would have shut it down too

 

[spalco]

So close, feel bad for Porte. But great job by Fuglsang.

 

[markene2]

Holy *** Jakob

 

[Andro]

FUGLSANG TAKES THE GC!

 

[dutchdescent]

porte got f**ked

 

[Broccolidwarf]

FUGLSANG WINS THE DAUPHINE!!!!!

I'm shocked

 

[Publicus]

Reminds me of the 2014 Dauphine and Contador losing to Talansky

 

[Cance > TheRest]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!

 

[Jelantik]

did porte arrive at 1:15?

 

[Carols]

Wow that was a Bike Race!!! I never thought Birdsong could warble like that! Kudos!!!

 

[IndianCyclist]

i think the era of the big 4 is coming to an end

 

[bob.a.feet]

When Froome doesn't have his teammates nobody is scared of him which makes for great racing

Not disagreeing with you. He wants July, not June.

You being serious?

Super win Fuglsang, great stage shame we only got to see less than half of it.
