Seems like everyone is scared about tomorrow’s stage, very surprised nobody at least attempted something apart from Landa’s half hearted attack.

Most likely nothing is going to happen tomorrow as well

Re: Re:

Tv coverage knows the GC men are weak as piss these days and never attack. This is the worst tour ever

Don't know man, lot of competition in that regard this decade

2014 was actually amazing

2 main favorites who didnt make it to the first cat 1 climb and somewhat of a fight for 2nd place I guess?

Congrats to Alaphilippe!
I liked the stage very much.

Short response, 'cause I'm in hurry.

Tomorrow could be rated the best stage of all
Time and I'm still giving this tour a 2/10

The grid start tomorrow will be a massive failure mark my words

Nah no way, this one is even worse than 2012. 6 man sprint on alp huez. One 5km attack in the mountains has a rider in the lead

 

[Rollthedice]

Nothing will happen tomorrow, not even a break.

The first week was amazing and there has been battle until Bertie left. And Nibs was actually attacking even in yellow jersey. Also 2011 has been nice.

Depends on Sky and the Movistar trio.

Yeah, in hindsight its become apoarant that all of the GC guys are content to wait for the TT..... Zero chance of anything happening tomorrow either and to be fair I can understand it.

Hmm let me think. 2011 and 2014 are the TdF's not won by Sky - yes?

65k Team SKY Time trial until the last K when G & The magic Kenyan unleash the final blow.......

this Tour is bvllsh!t

 

[yaco]

Mitchelton Scott have never found the key to the TDF - Managed twice to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory - Timed that the peleton took 51 seconds from the leader on the final climb.

 

[arvc40]

Need some steep climbs ! Like Vuelta.

 

[Scarponi]

Why wouldn't Yates who was the best climber in that break attack from further out and get a bigger gap for the descent ?

 

[Finn84]

Bahrain-Merida took the lead in team competition.

 

[YavorD]

Well, I thought Sky don't have that good climbing team this year (apart from Bernal and Poels).... Well, I was wrong.
Or maybe they were just left to ride with their tempo instead of proper testing.

 

[Escarabajo]

I know this Tour has not been as good. I give you that. But what were you expecting out of this stage GC wise????

Seriously. This type of stage never delivers!

Not expecting, more living in hope ! Accumulated boredom. Would be nice to get a surprise !

 

[movingtarget]

The French have adopted the mountain jersey as their yellow jersey. Good for them............
