Re:

What a farce...

At least it will be fun how Froome can win now

Movistar beheaded in 1 stage. That was funny

Re: Re:

Sky, the worst thing to happen to cycling since, well... you know.

They might be literal worst thing after this tbh

The guy with one ball was a genuine talent as a youngster and would have been competitive anyway (not dominant though). These two could have been two decent soigneurs

 

[BlackWhiteEagle]

I was so mac after Richies crash. Now I wonder if he could have done anything today..

 

[phanatic]

Felt like I was with Nieve as he sat up for Froome and Dum after Geraint's blazing attack robbed him of the stage.

Re:

This was just impressive. Sometimes I get the hate but today we saw the two strongest riders of the day attack at separate times and just playing with the field. They're just better right now, like Contador used to just be better and Armstrong before him.

The gaps to Alpe d’Huez are going to be huge!

Re:

Kirby said Thomas was not racing Froome. LOL. He most certainly was.

I think he was and wasn't. Stage win was up for grabs and it would have been foolish not to take it.

 

[AICA ribonucleotide]

I was gonna criticise Nibali racing for 3rd place by chasing down Valverde. But Nibali is right. The race is for 3rd.

 

[ppanther92]

But at least we have a fight between Thomas and Froome (or at least i hope so).

Sure, but what do they both have in common?

Riding for the best team in the world?

Re: Re:

Thomas and Sky with boos ringing out. Tour over!

A couple of boos from idiots. The real cycling fans will have appreciated what they have just witnessed.

Not so sure about that

I am a cycling fan and I don't appreciate one bit what I am seeing.

...and pantani before him and riis before him and indurain before him :lol:

Makes tomorrow even better. Time for waiting is finally over now.

 

[yaco]

Dumoulin was my ride of the day - Attacked on the descent of the penultimate climb, rode most of the final climb in TT mode - The unfortunate aspect was he delivered Thomas the win.

'We were low on numbers' Yeah right Geraint

That for sure is a bitter pill to swallow, considering thats Froomes 4th GT in a row, possibly winning them all. I am sure Nibali, Bardet and Quintana had big hopes going into this Tour.

This is not cycling anymore

Your lack of knowledge of Thomas' junior results fatally undermines your incorrect comment.

Re: Re:

At least Froome cant attack G in yellow now... surely?


Dumo is our last hope even though he probably gonna have to pay for the effort put in today on tomorrows stage

Nah, Froomes ego won't allow Thomas to stay there

Probably more like Michelle's ego. She's smart enough to know that apparently the only thing that can kill sky, is sky itself.

 

[May0maniac]

That was a vulgar display of (Welsh) power.

Re: Re:

He is gonna attack tomorrow big time. I can already see that.

Nope he cant... which is a good thing. Rather G win, than Froome. They both the same thing... but rather G if this how its gonna be.

Froome can only go if G cracks big time or for other reason (crash, mechanical etc) falls behind and they have trouble bringing him back and Froome stays up front

 

[markene2]

Re: Re:

If anyone thinks for a second that Froome wont chase down Thomas if he becomes a threat for overal victory you would be wrong. Froome will do anything in his power to chase Thomas down, even if he is up the road solo. It's a Giro-Tour victory on the line

 

[Escarabajo]

Re:

Cue criticism for the other riders for not attacking.

When the reality is that reknowned mountain goats were simply struggling to hold on with the infernal pace set by Sky.

This.

That was the sad reality. Mountain goats hanging on for dear life for not to get dropped by the big guys!

Wait, you mean the camera was lying and Bernal, Poels and Kwiatkowski were still there?

Rather see Froome winning than Thomas. Just for the lolz and 4 in a row.
