Re: Re:

Movistar needs to understand the longer Valverde and Dumoulin stay out front the better it is for Landa and Quintana when they attack.

Why would either attack whilst Valverde is out in front.

Because Valverde is not a contender to win the race and he can pull for them when they get there.

Dumoulin <3

The sky train is beautiful to watch (. Know that won’t be a shared view - but it really is)

Re:

Watching on German tv. The commentator just said - I have no idea why nibali helped Sky, makes no sense. Seems its not just all the (insert insult) here that feel that way

Thats the reality.

 

[spalco]

Dumoulin looks really fresh to me.

Valverde will be doing no pulling today after being out in front for so long.

Wohoo - one less.

 

[skippo12]

Dumoulin and Valverde are doing a great job...not for themself but for Quintana, Landa and Nibali.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Ok Movistar is a ***** team

Valverde will not work.

 

[Salvarani]

Poels don’t seem to be in the greatest of form...

Don’t need to be when Castro and Kwiat seems to be tho

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

lol lol lol

 

[Valv.Piti]

Sky is just so stupidly strong

Did you expect anything different? Gap now down to 30 seconds.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Valverde and Vomitstar are too afraid of Tom.

Big big shame

Re:

Maybe if Valve took a pull he would have a chance oh wait hes not even a GC captain hes not allowed

 

[ontheroad]

I think the peoloton may well take the stage victory today though it will be close.

 

[MrTea1976]

Martin and Yates might do something. They each have a team mate up the road.

 

[sir fly]

The brave move tired Valverde a bit, it appears.
If the breakaway riders could help, maybe there's a chance.

Re:

Big big shame

Afraid?

Valverde Is waiting for Landa or Quintana

 

[Eclipse]

Pretty obvious Movistar changed their strategy since the gap is not going to go out no matter if they both work.

Valverde will sit in and if they are still clear at the steep spot Movistar will try bridge to him

 

[HelloDolly]

So Castro stronger than Dumoulin ???

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

This is stupid. Now Dumoulin is destroying himself and Movistar and Sky laughing

 

[woodburn]

Nice ride for Daniel Martinez. Good they let him do his thing after Uran dropped.

 

[AICA ribonucleotide]

Time for Dumoulin to sit up

 

[GraftPunk]

I get the tactical aspect of it, but I despise negative riding.
