I'm pretty sure many riders will not finish within the time limit today.

Pretty sure it's gonna be in the range of 50 minutes

 

[DNP-Old]

Dennis in difficulty.

What are Sky actually trying to do here... there's no one for Froome to bridge to, unless they're relying on Poels to be stronger than Yates which is definitely a possibility

Happy seeing Sky on the front of the peloton... wait, that sounded weird. Well, there is a first time for everything I guess....

But they're not riding that hard if Sanchez is still pulling out time

Then let's rather say some riders instead of many. But that peloton looked like it was already reduced quite a bit and I wouldn't want to start the finestre a few minutes behind the peloton after already having worked on the flat for half an hour.

Sky seem to have knocked the pace off a bit. I wonder if they see LLS as a potential ally later in the race, and would quite like him to get up the road.

3km done on the Finestre, peloton is 30 man big.

Hoping anyone between Yates, Dumoulin, Pozzovivo has a bad day and drops already? It's not impossible.

Hello again to the best climb in cycling

 

[Salvarani]

This is brutal

 

[DNP-Old]

Haig dropped as well?

Dawg is so hard to read, he looked in difficulty then!

I think his subjective feeling of suffering gives the struggling outlook, but the numbers he's relying on allow him to push on. He's cracking only when the numbers and subjective feelings get in line.

 

[Ivan_Basso_77]

Yates has only Nieve with him?

 

[Forever The Best]

Why is Puccio pacing? He is no climber. Henao should already take over.

Because Sanchez is probably riding on the limit to stay away. Make or break.

Are you even watching the race and how fast the peloton has decreased and that people are dropping? It still 15km to go of the climb!!

Training viewer patience for Rafael Nadal's serve games.

He's dropped most of the peloton.... Not bad for "no climber".

Re:

he did, according to RAI moto

 

[wirral]

Sanchez going for KOM jersey?

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

This is poor from Haig, Kreuziger and Chaves. They've done a lot of resting up recently.

 

[DNP-Old]

Yates and Nieve dropping as well!

 

[Laplaz]

Yates already bad...

 

[Inquitus]

Yates going backwards?
