Ye, he got some help. Literally everybody does. It wasn't that scandalous.

DSQ? This stuff is always blown of of proportion.

 

[portugal11]

There are still a chance for contador!!! Vamos!!! He will go bananas in stage 6

 

[Dazed and Confused]

The Hotsteppers are back.

 

[TourOfTexas]

Our eagle eyed announcers just realized Ion got dropped.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Should get a penalty of sorts. But DSQ is too much

Aye, as long as it isn't a taxi ride, magic spanners are fair game.

No but he should get a time penalty of some sort.

Gap not getting as big as I feared. This will be a pain in the legs the next few days though

Re: Re:

All depends on how big the gap is at the end. If the chase group keeps it together and manages to limit their losses within 2-3 minutes, we'll have one hell of a race on our hands later next week.

Lol. This is a race with one mountain stage.

Likelyhood of pulling back such a gap is low, but riders like Contador or Bardet won't go down without a fight and we, the cycling fans, are the winners as a result. Porte isn't likely to initiate anything himself, but he is a valuable ally to have for those who actually do try something. And there is lot more than one stage, where it is possible to try something. Your Contador-fandom makes you see things in a far too dark light at the moment.

 

[rune1107]

Tactics in front group. Hope it will end around 40-50 sec gap

 

[portugal11]

The panzerwagen is killing

 

[Akuryo]

Wow, they are seriously stopping at the front ... what a chance wasted if this continous.

 

[Red Rick]

Contador can count his lucky stars that Zakarin missed out

 

[Velolover2]

I love this.

Henao's chances just got a lot bigger.

 

[Flamin]

Katusha really saving the day now for those in the 2nd group.

Re:

Bardet should be DSQ

He's french good luck with that

I think it can only be good for the race, it's not hopeless at all, so the chances the opportunities to attack will actually be used are quite good. Plus: Contador having to do stuff is always good for any race.

 

[Popchu]

Is Kruijswijk back in the second group?

EDIT; the answer is yes

Re:

Tony saved this race for a lot of GG riders. They are not happy with hip in QS right now.

 

[BigMac]

When they start playing for the stage win gap will come down even more.

 

[Jungle Cycle]

[kingjr]

Coquard to win this

 

[Scarponi]

Now these groups are so small how much will that little climb affect it

Re:
