Porte to attack on his namesake, take the stage, and yellow.

That would be too sweet but I live in hope.

 

[sir fly]

Tight gap allowed for the breakaway.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Tony Martin always has the facial expression of a man possessed, when pulling in the mountains

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Asgreen at the back of the peloton.

He said in hos intro interview, that he was looking to take it easy today, citing the Tour and Olympics to come, and saying it would be unwise to go deep every day, it he is to time his shape right for those goals.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Jumbo now tightening the screws.

Seems they want today to be a GC day after all.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Martin looks in good form
Hopefully nobody puts up with his hall monitor act in the tour

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Vingegaard saying in his intro interview, that the team has told him he can go for the stage win, if he is feeling good and still with the front group with 3-4k to go. - Until then he is to stick with Kuss and Kruijswijk.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Jean-Francois Bernard Jr. trying to go it alone.

Jean-Francois Bernard Jr. trying to go it alone.

Hes a solid rider. Always on the move and in the breaks. He’s no Jeff, but he has his own style.

 

[Escarabajo]

Rojas and Movistar playing for Valverde like the have done in the last 18 years!
No changes there.

LOl, you got Verona protecting Mas, Rojas protecting Bala, and Arcas and Irviti protecting López.

 

[Escarabajo]

Tony Martin, not what he used to be.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Postlberger at the back - Astana sticking the knife in.

 

[Escarabajo]

What is going to happen with the peloton when Aranburu and Izagirre start descending?

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Tony Martin, not what he used to be.

You should wait for the Tour, before determining that.... this is a preparation race.

But in a general way you are right, nobody is what they used to be - that's life

 

[Broccolidwarf]

What is going to happen with the peloton when Aranburu and Izagirre start descending?

Aranburu got dropped I think, just after Colbrelli.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Craddock grinning ear to ear over the move he just pulled

 

[ice&fire]

What is going to happen with the peloton when Aranburu and Izagirre start descending?

Lutsenko might have a stop at a traffic sign

 

[Escarabajo]

Froome is still there!!
Tour is in the bag!

 

[JosefK]

Craddock should get some kind of tenacity award, even if his move is doomed.

 

[WKA311]

Holmes isn't really the best descender, is he.

 

[Escarabajo]

Wet roads and shady roads. Dangerous descent!

I'm afraid we're gonna watch some saving-legs-for-the-weekend kind of finish

The last 2-3k stuff will happen, a lot of teams will have told their climbers that they can have a go, when the captains are home safe (close to the finish).

 

[Escarabajo]

Apocalypses coming!
