Do you know if some tv is showing images of the race? On Rai, they are doing the usual pointless talking

20 second gap to Paulinho.

Well, I guess they aren't making stuff up for fun.

 

[Velolover2]

1 minute for Paulinho now.

 

[rm7]

Paulinho now with 1 min gap. I guess it's better to have him out in front rather than he get dropped.

 

[HelloDolly]

But TCS tried that at the 2013 Tour and it didn't work

Maybe Contador is launching an attack? Astana have already Tiralongo up there.

Please don't remind me of that...

Paulinho has days where he's a really solid rider. Like once every 2 years.

2013 =/= 2015 form

And like somebody above said, better he is in fornt than behind

 

[Miburo]

2013 saxo was actually really really good, contador was just trash.

 

[mrhender]

Prolly Tinkoff that wouldn't hold back for Astana.

If they have a guy out there -so will I....

 

[Sasquatch]

After this climb I expect Lampre, OGE and Trek all on the front to bring the break back for Ulissi, Gerrans and Felline.

Alberto without helmet for a while!...Looks brutal!

Gerrans and Felline will definately not survive this day. Well atleast not in the first group.

They should still be in the peloton at the moment. Felline especially was confident of his chances today.

Naaah, dont think so. He is just giving Astana and Sky something to think about, maybe they will hold a little back if they know he have someone out there to pace him.

Actually Paulinho was solid the other day when Basso was dropped, it Contador only had him, Rodgers and Kreuziger.
