Rate this stage - 10: Mácon → Bellegarde-sur-Valserine

Maybe we should do one for every mountain stage.

All points are due to Voeckler, dont think that I would have given any points to gc guys

 

[auscyclefan94]

Nibali's attack was interesting and so was JVDB's attack. Jens' ride was inspirational but in general the stage was boring. 5.

 

[Netserk]

only vdb2 getting time
radioFAIL protecting 6th place in GC
Evans only attack with 150 meters to go

= 3

 

[roundabout]

It well exceeded my expectations.

very fast average speed
jensy delivering the pain
voeckler being awesome and rolland too.europcar is alive!
nibali as always riding with huge balls
jurgen being agressive but in my opinion he should have went straigt at the foot of grand colombier


as disappointements:
grand colombier ridden very slow
cadel and the shacks waiting for tomorrow

 

[Warhawk]

4. 2 points for Voeckler, 1 point for Jens, half a point each for Nibali and VDB.

The 5 of the break were great.

Nibali and VdB did good things but they were beaten by Sky helpers

And Evans confirms his bad TT two days ago.

There is nothing quite like an old fashioned slugfest to the line

 

[marioni]

0 for all GC riders, except Nibali. Less than zero for Evans, if possible.
Voeckler, Jens and Nibali the only riders worth mentioning in positive sense.

I still hope for fireworks tomorrow. The way Evans has been riding so far, he'll wait tomorrow too for last 10m of the stage to attack.

 

[LaFlorecita]

El Chingon really liked the stage

 

[cineteq]

El Chingon really liked the stage

DT and Zam hated it, wow. I wonder what would be a good stage for them?

 

[vcampbell]

VdB gained time, Wiggins, Froome with no work and still 1-3, so it was perfect: 10!

 

[Forunculo]

There is nothing quite like an old fashioned slugfest to the line

Well as latest fashion we have SKY and it's cutting-edge methods

 

[Progsprach]

Well, it's a 7 for me.
Positive:
Battle for Stage win
Mountains jersey
Green Jersey Sagan vs Goss
Nibali, VDB attack
Negative:
No other contender really did anything(except J-Rod Light)

 

[goggalor]

The profile is awful, we saw in the Dauphine that you can't drop Sky on this stage. But I suppose ASO couldn't know Sky would morph into US Postal when they designed it. If Nibali got away and Wiggins had to chase himself, instead of a tireless Porte, we could've seen gaps at the finish. I gave it a five because the battle for the stage win was good entertainment.

 

[H2OUUP2]

I'll give it a 6.5.

VDB, and Nibali showed some heart. Went at it pretty well.

Stage win was awesome to watch as well. Not taking anything away from Voeckler, but I thought Voigt should have got the combative rider.

Sky, and Evans, well, were just bog ordinary. Sky only have to mark one man really, and that's Evans. They could give Nibali the Yellow and a 30 second lead and still win on the last ITT. it's almost like they dangled him out there for a while to tire himself out on purpose.

Stage 11 please!!!

why dt and me?

Hahaha - that is becoming the status quo.

 

[cineteq]

why dt and me?

You rated it 1, when the average here says it's a 7.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

oh I hate the profile and voeckler won.

 

[Netserk]

You rated it 1, when the average here says it's a 7.

LOL! do you even know what average means

 

[SafeBet]

7 for me.
Would have been 8 if Voeckler hadn't won.
