It looked today like Tom suddenly had the edge on him uphill as well.woodburn said:So Tom gained seven seconds on Froome. Somewhere Froome is going to have to drop him significantly on one of the mountain stages because Dumoulin has edge in TT.
To be fair, he's the same size as Robo Basso.Logic-is-your-friend said:Jalabert 2.0AICA ribonucleotide said:Former track sprinter sprinting to win on D'Huez

Yes, but he still caught Roglic and finished ahead of the other guys.ppanther92 said:Nibalis fight back was nice, but lets not kid ourselfs. He only came nearly back because others didn't go full.
Boy, when I started watching this sport the guy on my avatar was racing. I've seen worse days and for sure I won't stop watching because of a bunch of white robots.MuskyOurSaviour said:franic said:Great stage?

Congrats to the riders.
Great stage.
Switch sports if you dont think that was exciting.

Instead, I'd say Dumo needs to drop Thomas. He's got a substantial lead on both and has been the strongest guy in the race.woodburn said:So Tom gained seven seconds on Froome. Somewhere Froome is going to have to drop him significantly on one of the mountain stages because Dumoulin has edge in TT.
