Do you see any chance that the powermeter discussion will be reanimated?

Dawg in the fun bus already?

He was the last rider of the peloton over the mountain pass but he was dropped on the descent. He is not far behind the peloton at the moment, so maybe he'll make it before the start of the last climb, but he'll get dropped again eventually.

Valgren:

"Screw you guys, I'm going home".

 

[Valv.Piti]

Excited to see how Valverde will play this, obviously theyll use Verona first, but then what?

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Interesting to see what teams are showing up today, when it counts.

Movistar, Ineos, DSM and Jumbo are all there in force - the rest are only 2-3 riders.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

The back door is open.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

DSM, Astana and Jumbo melted away - only Ineos there in force now, as per usual - everyone else is 2-3 riders.

I guess Mas since he's further down on the gc than both Valverde and MAL.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Rolf Soerensen declaring his love for TGH (they just showed a short into interview with him).

Calling him a rebel and a jack in a box - and saying he is ready to pounce, if the older guys fail at the tour.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Did you see that logic?

Then INEOS, there's your answer
Although Verona is still there.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Great ride by Rolland catching Valgren.

They will both get caught, but nonetheless.

 

[perico]

Steve Bauer and Vinokourov- the ultimate odd couple.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Disappointing that Vingegaard is not there for Kuss and Kruijswijk today, especially after taking it easy yesterday..... he is definitely struggling with stability.

According to Rolf Sørensen it will explode into four groups.
Not three, not five. Four is the number of groups into which the group shall explode.

When's the last time a very long finishing climb really delivered?

I'll hand you a tissue, when it breaks up into exactly 4 groups

We've got Brian on Eurosport telling us he hasn't really bothered to look and think about who might win today.

I love Verona. He’s grown into such a great domestique.

Very surprising that G.Martin is already dropping

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Martin dropping is not a good sign, but hopefully he'll then be better in the third week of the Tour compared to last year.

Holm? Commentating? He's in France!

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Movistar looking very good.

 

[gregrowlerson]

I love GT's sunglasses.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Lutsenko just keeps on keeping on - can he make it to the end?
