Re:

LOL @ Tinkoff buying Sagan and Basso.

To add to that Roche will drop Contador repeatedly at the Tour.

Re:

Live ticker says split in the chasing group? Who is in the front one and who is in the back?

There is 10+ guys in the lead group, Including Kreuziger

40km to go and they are 5:45 ahead

Re:

Who's that other SKY rider in Astana group? König?

There are 2, I presume its Nieve and Konig

Re:

Indeed. Sagan...ok, allthough I wouldn't have given him a huuuge contract. Last year showed that he wasn't a sure big winner. Still a good rider, but not worth the money he gets now.

Basso... What were they thinking?

Just look at the first page.

Re: Re:

Whatever happens it seems that Kreuziger will have about 5 minutes on the favorites. Can't understand why Sky and Astana let the margin grow so much. Sure they had guys in the break, but not someone as strong as Kreuziger.

maybe they wanted to check if olga will command his troops to chase. they should have, and tinkoff did ride.

but it beats me how kreuziger was let go to begin with. peloton now at 5min30. is that a reliable gap? it was 7 and a half just a moment ago.

Yes Astana was chasing hard and the gap was coming down, but now just 38 k left. 6'23" currently

Konig and Nieve.

 

[Velolover2]

Please Kreuziger, take a rest and stop pulling for a bit. I want you to win the stage. One giant attack on the last climb.

 

[Flamin]

Reading those comments, I think I might watch the full 3h+ coverage tonight.

I reccomend Eshnar's analysis.

 

[CatsNK]

Contador w/only one teammate.

Re:

Sure i seen Nieve in there

 

[Mozart92]

MM lost 5 minutes. Bye bye pink jersey.

 

[Jancouver]

Pink jersey already 10 min behind

 

[Carstenbf]

fgs, it's Puccio and Siutsou. Pay attention!

 

[damian13ster]

Hmm, it all might come together before the finish. Brillinat from Sky, not spending energy of any of their riders (and looks like they have 2 in the break and 3 in peleton so thats not bad) Of course not Astana-good but looks same level or better than TS

 

[the sceptic]

my god Astana are insanely strong. Everyone else almost isolated and they have 5 riders + 2 up the road

 

[Rollthedice]

Re:

Contador w/only one teammate.

The other one capable to ride such a stage is in front trying to win the Giro.

 

[spalco]

So now the "Gruppo" lost a minute again? Or was the timing incorrect?

 

[Jancouver]

Re:

Astana still absolutely drilling it. That descent, wow!

Not really, the gap is growing!

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Astana shows thier immense strenght.

 

[rhubroma]

Spectacular scenery!

You think they will make up 6 minutes in 40 k? No chance at all.

Re:

Yeh when the stage gets raced like this then it's mayhem and only the strongest survive.

Re:

I'm not trusting many of the on screen time gaps right now. Astana seem to be drilling it but losing time to the breakaway?
