Le Tour 2018 stage 15: Millau - Carcassonne 181,5 km

[Salvarani]

Really hope a team try to race hard on the climb coming up, just make the stage really disorganised for Sky to control

 

[glassmoon]

[Flamin]

All back together.

Too much shelter for echelons atm.

Re: Re:

Anybody bored this afternoon?

No, great non-stop racing so far.

They're giving all, no question about it.
Knackering themselves for couch potatoes.

 

[glassmoon]

OK. It's settled then. Good job Sagan for getting in.

 

[Flamin]

Amazing how Sagan just bridged to that break _O_

 

[Salvarani]

Sagan is there

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Dragged Majka in.

 

[Rollthedice]

All Bahrain seems to be in the break. Who are the Movi guys?

 

[spalco]

1 Sunweb, 1 Movi I think. No Sky?

edit: 3 Movis.

Pauwels is 3rd in the king of the mountains competition on 63 points, 29 behind Alaphilippe. Barguil and Alaphilippe have both missed the move, chance for Pauwels to make some progress

 

[MatParker117]

Everyone in the break is more than half an hour down, Sky will give zero fucks.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Damn, I had hoped Valverde would be in the break. Sagan will be incredibly hard to beat today I think.

Terpstra will nick in in front of him to grab the points

Yep, makes a lot of the UK look a right dump

Thomas and Froome having a chat, at least they're still speaking :lol:

Parcours reminds me a little bit of the stage Thor won into Lourdes in 2011, with a single big climb in the second half, a long descent, and a flat finale into town, although with a harder first half.
