Hopefully he struck a good deal with Contador and get's into a good break in the next two stages and can go for the stage win.

We should take away Kruijswijk's first week too thenrichwagmn said:If Ryder hadn't had such a bad first week, he'd be in fourth. Gutsy rider. Great to see.
ray j willings said:Ryder going again today ,Awesome stuff. How the Fu$$ does he lose so much time.
Perhaps he should start riding a week before everyone else in order to peak at the right time.
I've got my answer so quickly.Anderis said:Is he doing TdF or rather Vuelta later this year?
Dazed and Confused said:If Cannondale allows him to stage hunt in the tour without looking after Talansky, he will add spice to the race methinks.
the delgados said:So Ryder says he's not interested in moving up a couple places in the GC, yet yesterday he burned a few matches to bridge up to Contador to gain a couple places in the GC. I know TV time is important, especially when you're pacing the race leader to the line, but c'mon.
He should have stayed with the Aru group yesterday and daydreamed the whole way home about a stage win today.
