[Pricey_sky]

Viviani back in.

 

[Jagartrott]

WTH is MS doing? Wasting energy just prior to three decisive mountain stages? C'est n'importe quoi.

Yates wants this one too?

I think they fear Poels in the break

 

[Jagartrott]

Yeah, Yates winning a mass sprint, that would really be the finishing touch for his ride so far.

 

[Carols]

Break caught again......

 

[MartinGT]

Looks like the break is about to get caught.................again

 

[SlickMongoose]

MS don't want sky getting a bigger lead in the team classification.

Nope they snuck away! Lulu!

MS tiring out all of the climbers before the big mountains so they don't attack 50km out

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Froome always look as though he's struggling to stay on the wheel.

If they manage to drop all the sprinters.

 

[Stella0596]

I thought MS said they'd ride defensively? Are they paid by Bora and QS or something?

 

[MartinGT]

This is like a Cat4 race

 

[Scarponi]

Lulu mad pissed at Poels

 

[RedheadDane]

Poels: Wait for me!

 

[MrTea1976]

A 40km Katusha/Martin attack? Maybe Bennett or Battaglin otherwise?

 

[Scarponi]

Shame there wasn't a small
Climb 10km out form the finish here. Could have been exciting

Not necessary. Yates is in prime form.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Why are they this afraid of Poels? Just let them go lol.

And you don't think this is exciting?

Where would be the fun in that?

 

[Red Rick]
