Aaaand Padun is away. Will anybody catch him?

 

[Samamba]

Padun will win the Tour

 

[Vasilis]

I literally hadn't considered help being useful after Joux-Plane.

Well they didn't do it anyway but what I was trying to say is to use teammates to get to Joux Plane with an advantage and then charge up it themselves.

G. Martin, P. Konrad? Are they even climbers?

Padun looking sprightly after a quiet day yesterday.

Konrad is a sprinter right?

 

[Eclipse]

Nairo taking it up from a long long way

 

[RedheadDane]

This kid, Padun, is pretty good.

Porte is returning to his classic schedule:

1. Win a one-week race.
2. Become bookies' Tour favourite.
3. Lose a lot of time in one of the first Tour stages.
4. Muse about what could have been.

 

[F_Cance]

ridiculous stuff at Bahrain.

 

[bigcog]

ridiculous stuff at Bahrain.

Whatever do you mean ?

 

[Pantani_lives]

Nairo taking it up from a long long way

Good to see him coming out of the shadow. I don't know what he's worth at the moment, but he doesn't look bad.

 

[BlueRoads]

Has someone started the thread "Mark Padun is the new Chris Froome", yet?

Yep, didn't even finish in the main bunch yesterday.

 

[Salvarani]

Kruijswjik!

 

[Valv.Piti]

Lol, Padun with this performance jumps straight into the top10 of favourites for the Tour according to the bookies.

Ofc. When you show this climbing display, you have a larger chance than a lot of estaslished climbers.. its about potential to win, not about the ability to top 10.

 

[Faserr]

Padun is winning the Tour with this shape .

 

[gregrowlerson]

Porte is returning to his classic schedule:

1. Win a one-week race.
2. Become bookies' Tour favourite.
3. Lose a lot of time in one of the first Tour stages.
4. Muse about what could have been.

Except with a slight twist.

4. Hold hands with Landa for a 1-2 in la Vuelta.

 

[sir fly]

Really nice climb this Jeux Plane.

 

[Eclipse]

Padun's going to summit with a bigger advantage over the GC guys than he started with at the bottom

 

[gregrowlerson]

Has someone started the thread "Mark Padun is the new Chris Froome", yet?

If they have then always remember that you can start a second one.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Yesterday he attacked so that his mum could see him on TV; today she needs to have a word with him about being an attention seeker.

 

[limak_]

Joking about Kruijswijk's shoulders every time he appears on the front ever since he's become a pro cyclist is ridiculous.

 

[Rollthedice]

Ineos train casually catching Quintana.

Climb is about to get tougher and they havent started making any big moves yet, so unless he has paced himself and have more in tank... I think they will gain some in the second half.
