Re:

Wish we saw this more often as I love watching the break trying to establish.

And he's still active near the front with Teklehaimanot. Gaviria must be interested in sweeping up the maximum bonifacations (in my best Kelly accent) today.

Anyone have a live feed? My free trial for fuboTV ended.

 

[Eagle]

Can Teklehaimanot even catch Gaviria by winning every intermediate sprint for the rest of the race? He is 229 points behind currently

Re:

I guess he still doesn't understand the points jersey scoring if he's chasing down Tekla

Yeah, and on quite a lot of stages it's the best bit! :lol:

If you want to discuss the clinic background of Pantani, or the morality of his adulation or whatever, please take it to the clinic.

Re:

20 minute effort suit Dumoulin, a bit like that Vuelta finish where he beat Froome.

If Quintana/Nibali win time at all it will be < 20s

I thought the same but according to the link below that effort was less than 12 minutes. There's some difference between 12 and 20.

To be fair, does anyone actually understand the points jersey scoring in any GT. It seems to change nearly every year and from race to race. Gav probably just playing it safe :lol:

well dumoulin himself says that in team tests he is the best at 20 minute efforts

 

[Orbit501]

Looks like this is finally going to be our break:

Poveda, Berhane and Lagutin

 

[Valv.Piti]

Good post 46 and two wheels, Pantani is just so much more... what a legend, hope the riders do him justice today.

 

[portugal11]

I really think dumoulin will win this stage.

 

[Koba80]

Yes! Seryozh! Go!

I'm glad somebody else too sees Pantani under a different light, without reducing him to a freakshow
sorry mods, it was off topic

 

[Andro]

FDJ leading the peloton. Good signs. This 3-man break shouldn't stand much chance.

 

[klintE]

Lagutin shall win this stage

 

[Valv.Piti]

Teams have to spend close to nothing to close this down, I reckon Movistar + Bahrain will help FDJ, maybe even Sky.

Definitely magical, especially with the excitement of all those people watching on the side of the road.

RANT SNIPPED

There a subforum for your rants....

 

[Climbing]

Pinot feels confident, and I agree the finish should suit him.
