Re: Re:

Moscon out of the race.

He did the least anyway, maybe after Poels. He'll barely be missed.

Maybe that's why they kicked him out. Sky complained, ASO took notice.

Apparently, he hit a Fortuneo rider.

Respect riders, guys.

Seriously? If that’s accurate, the guy seems to be a complete nut. It’s like he thinks he’s a wrestler and is trying to build a profile as a heel.

Re: Re:

Sad when golf is a better watch than a Sunday Tdf stage. Back to Carnoustie...

I kind of agree, but not unusual for Le Tour

In fairness, it would have taken a really good stage to beat Tiger leading a major on Sunday for the 1st time in a decade.

OT: at least Italians started winning in Golf

Re:

I think today was a missed opportunity, for some of the guys set back in the GC.

Martins attack could have worked, if he had gone away from the bottom of Pic de Nore, where it is steepest, and he then had 2 guys in the break waiting for him, half way up the climb, where the percentages drop.

Fuglsang could have done the same.

Obviously, in hindsight, Corts win is more valuable, than possibly climbing to 7th or 8th on the GC, but both Martin and Fuglsang taking 2-3 of minutes today, could have put them back in podium contention.

I think that was absolutely possible - Martin put a minute into Sky on half the climb, all by himself, had that been him and Fuglsang, with 3-4 of their teammates waiting half way up, they could have made stuff happen

It seems Fuglsang lacks courage, and Martin lacks a plan..... or maybe, it's a DS problem in both instances, with leading DSs, who are both very light on experience, in managing a GC contender in the Tour?

I miss Riis as a DS - he always made the most elaborate plans.... they didn't always work, but they always made for good racing

I think we've seen a lot of strategy problems from teams in this year's Tour. At least UAE I'll give a break to as they haven't had a GC contender before, but for the other teams they should have had better plans.

Quite the contrary, he's the perfect rider for a team that claims to be whiter than white

Jesus Christ they must love him in France.

He endangered not only Gesbert but all riders with his gesture.
