Le Tour 2018 stage 10: Annecy > Le Grand-Bornand 158,5 km

[GraftPunk]

Thus far this stage has been disappointing. Almost 8 minutes the gap, ho-hum.

Re:

Starting to pick up the pace? 30sec off the gap in the last couple of minutes

A lot riders probably done with their assistance once they hit the bottom of the climb so they do what they can now

I think that Sky don't want Thomas in the yellow jersey by the end of the day so they have deliberately soft pedalled to allow GVA some leeway. The other teams are happy to allow them dictate and I think GVA could have a 3 minute + lead by the end of the stage.

Sky seems to be at the front of all the stages it seems, they're there in the sprint finishes, they're there at the cobbles, and of course they're at the front in the mountains.

If instead of the first, this was the third Alpine stage...

I don't usually complain about uneventful stages, but this is really spectacularly boring.

 

[Lequack]

If Kristoff is still in there which I saw him earlier, you know the pace can't be that fast.

They'd smoke the first two because of the third one; and the third one because of the Pyrenees.

It looks like we're watching the rest day ride on TV.

I doubt they’d do that with Alpe d’Huez

Nice place for a vacation, eh?

 

[b.broadhurst]

Sky ain’t going to have it all their own way it looks.

 

[b.broadhurst]

Poels, Rowe and Moscon gone for Sky.

Barguil
doing
an Anton
?

 

[woodburn]

Barguil lights it up. Everyone yawns.

 

[ppanther92]

Barguil "i will drop some time today, cause i am too close in GC" goes on an attack.

That is the nightmare scenario for them as Thomas might get ideas.

 

[Salvarani]

Gaudu great today

 

[woodburn]

GVA has dropped Alaphillipe on the Romme.

Edit: Looks like chase has regrouped.

 

[ppanther92]

I fear Izagirre will be of no help at all for Nibali at this Tour...

 

[Sestriere]

GPS doing Giro Things.

 

[Flamin]

GPS going crazy

 

[ppanther92]

Never seen a worse GPS. Barguil is apparently over 20s behind the peloton...

they are probably switched
