Are the farmers protesting because there's no tractors left in the race?

7/10

 

[Rollthedice]

This flat terrain doesn't help forming a decent break. It will be hard.

 

[Laplaz]

And now also rain

 

[Bolder]

Roads will be extra slick. Hasn't rained in weeks.

 

[Salvarani]

That region has seen regular rain events the past weeks.

Well this may be good to help clean out any troubled eyes.

As far as the prognosis, I just hope something happens on these climbs. At the absolute least the GC is shaken a bit on the Portillon. After this stage there's only two 'shake up' stages, the short explosive stage 17 tomorrow and the ITT. Hopefully something happens today. Tomorrow could very well be epic, but at the moment I don't see Thomas losing the tour.

Loving the flying camera work and the scenery.

 

[DNP-Old]

Egan is in the break.

 

[bigcog]

Valverde in break as well ?

 

[MrTea1976]

And Kwiatkowski apparently.

 

[glassmoon]

Still goin full gas

 

[spalco]

Really powerful break, too powerful I think.

 

[Flamin]

No established break yet after 80k?

 

[Eclipse]

slugfest today

 

[muppetkokken]

I actually like this stage.

 

[sir fly]

Well, they did have time to recuperate while the riot was on, but no real reason for this kind of control.

 

[bigcog]

I can see problems for Sky. Thomas may explode in a later stage if he has to do a lot of work.

I didn't watch earlier, how long did they stop?

What work? All he has to do is follow Dumoulin
