Castro I believe

Poels is back!

Re:

Completely forgot he is in the race

 

[ice&fire]

Is Barguil attacking to get tired and lose more time?

 

[b.broadhurst]

Sky tactics obvious like always, Castro rides this whole climb then Poels, Kwiatkowski and Bernal year *** up on Colombiere.

It's incredible that enthusiasts on a cycling forum were expecting >100km GC attacks on the first mountain stage. "If only Contador were here" :lol:

Doubt Poels will take single pull. Kwiat is next after Castro if he ever tires.

I don't think the conversation was about expecting that to happen. The conversation was about what needed to happen.

It would be nice to have some time gaps between the leader and the peloton

Another year, another borg train.

I guess it's not Sky fault if other teams don't want to win. I mean realistically Sky have G who has over a minute advantage over everyone else, and G is not going to lose a minute in the timetrial. So if any other team has any ambition they have over a minute to gain.

Remember when smaller teams were going to lead to less Sky domination? Actually it's the opposite.

Sky rode with 8 riders for many Tours in the past so they know how to deal with that.

And aside, this is arguably their best team ever, literally all world class riders.

Soler gone already.

 

[b.broadhurst]

Who said Movistar would still have Soler?

 

[Salvarani]

Expecting more for tomorrow

Today was always gonna be like this, don’t know why some are so stressed

 

[happytramp]

Wow... Pretty small peloton and I'm 90% sure sky actually have one more rider than they started with.

Expecting? On the contrary, I expected (as I wrote in the first pages of the thread) that probably nothing will happen between the favorites. What I need is, yes, 100+ km GC attacks, or at least some testing of the SKY train, because this is boring as hell. But to expect such a scenario...do you take me and like-minded people for being fools?

Yaaaaaaawn

 

[Bot. Sky_Bot]

Yes, please don't compare Soler to Kwiat, as sb was trying yesterday

 

[GraftPunk]

I think a lot of us are just hoping that someone takes a chance win or lose. I'll take an ill-fated suicide ride over a procession any day...
