I guess they changed the plan. The fact that Anacona is coming back to the front...

 

[capuldemetal]

ten dam chased anacona and is overcoocked.

Good for TJ. He could sulk and go home after all the piss take he gets, but no, he stays and attacks where he can. Chapeau I say.

 

[hoolaparara]

Call the stewards I smell a substitute scandal at BMC

Quintana not strong enough today?

Re:

have you seen that reddish house the group passed by some minutes ago? In case somebody might wonder:
They're called "case cantoniere" (Cantoniere Houses) and they are disseminated throughout the peninsula. They are abandoned and they were used as temporary homes for workers in charge of road maintenance

they're are basically part of the landscape.

Interesting. Thanks for your insight.

No attack from Quintana?

 

[rick james]

what a ride from Deignan

 

[MartinGT]

Has Winner dropped off the back? He's not off the front is he?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

They put Porte in a TJ costume?

 

[Velolover2]

People are coming back to the GC group. Hmmm.

 

[Rollthedice]

Winner will catch the break just to collapse later.

 

[staubsauger]

That Baggio guy has to be from South Tyrol. Already saw him at Alpe di Siusi last year.

He dropped off ages ago, then attacked the group he was in and is making his way back up. Nearly there.

Edit: I'm assuming the original plan was for Quintana to bridge to him, but they changed their minds.

Yes he has :razz:

Contador would have attacked by now

Re:

Movistar called him back to get ready for Quintana attack.
Quintana said lol of course I'm not going to attack, get back to the front.
So now Anacona is chasing the front break again.

Good point.

Quintana once again showing great agressiveness

 

[Velolover2]

White as snow.

 

[sir fly]

What the hell... Quintana should give it a go near the top.

 

[Escarabajo]

Re:

No. Just like I predicted.

It will be all left to the last climb.

They will rely on the next stages. Might not be enough because Dumoulin has to crack.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Werid, I expected a lot worse by now.

 

[webvan]

Wow, walls of snow ! Must make it pretty chilly...Capechhi riding for Jungels ? WTF...

 

[MartinGT]

Aye he's just got back on

Re:
