Yes, he can still save it. For today. Tomorrow, with these legs, there is no contest.benzwire said:I think Dumo can still save this. He's 3'13" back. Keep steady and hope Froome slows some before the finish. Great racing!
Hugo Koblet said:The gap is being kept steady right now.
How many seconds has he lost on the first half of the climb? 3?webvan said:Froome losing time as expected. Dumoulin to be in Pink tonight methinks, best sceario for tomorrow !
More Strides than Rides said:How much time did Froome pick up at the intermediate sprint over TD?
Not really. It's still around 3'15-3'20.MuskyOurSaviour said:Hugo Koblet said:The gap is being kept steady right now.
Going down every slightly
Dumoulin is doing a massive effort himself today, and Sky doesn't even do common senseGigs_98 said:If Froome gets pink Sky will just choo choo through the Aosta valley tomorrow. I still hope he'll pay for this effort tomorrow so Dumoulin can maybe gain time again.lartiste said:The best result for us will be if Dumo will keep small gap for tomorrow , then even the stage of tomorrow will be great!

In a pink pyjama maybe.webvan said:Froome losing time as expected. Dumoulin to be in Pink tonight methinks, best sceario for tomorrow !
Poeple make it out to be this transcendent reflection on character but it's physiology. On the hills if Lopez wants to win he needs to attack. Dumoulin needs to defend.Dekker_Tifosi said:No they should not but its funny Dumoulin is boring and Lopez is hailed as this godly attractive rider who wheel sucked almost the entire Girocarton said:So funny that people think Lopez and Carapaz should be riding for Dumoulin for some reason.
