Le Tour 2018 stage 11: Albertville > La Rosière 108,5 km

[ontheroad]

Moscon done now for the day.

 

[woodburn]

2:15 gap. GPS right?

Edit: Now showing 1:05

Soler should have waited a bit longer. Chances are he is now wasting all his energy on the climb where it doesn't matter as much.

Bala wins the tour.

That would make Sky's collective head explode.

I wouldn't even be mad

Side note; according to the live tracker Cavendish is all alone 20 minutes back.

Commentators said he is soon to be quitting the race.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Go Valverde, dont look back for Landa and Quintana.

 

[yetiyeti]

Good move by Movistar....had to try something and this strategy might work. Doesn't seem that Sky are interested in burning everyone up to shut it down.

The Tour GPS is extremely bad this year? Why though? They always had it rather well.

He has about 7 minutes effort to the top, can give Valverde that extra pull to the top where he needs a decent gap.

Valverde flying the flag of Contador.

 

[Finn84]

Valverde is now virtually ahead of G.

Over a minute now, this is getting real.

I hope you are right (and it seems like it).

Magnus Cort patrolling the front of the peloton. Very impressive (and good for Bala).

 

[sir fly]

Valverde in front will make the matters behind exposed.

Waiting for Palpatine (Brailsford) to give the command to execute order 66

 

[Valv.Piti]

Sky way, way too arrogant, their usuals selfs.

 

[Walkman]

Reminiscence of Andy Schleck. Nice to see something happening!

 

[ppanther92]

Should be around 1:15 (hand timed)

 

[AICA ribonucleotide]

Tracking has Valverde up to 1'40" now

 

[tobydawq]

Two minutes!?!?

What is happening??
