Stage 19: Saint-Jean-de-Maurienn - La Toussuire-Les Sybelle

[MikeTichondrius]

Bardet descends better without power and while kicking his chain than Pinot will ever descend.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Nibali descends faster than the stock market during the recession.

Re: Re:

Yeah, because it's Sanchez chasing behind

Selling out to piti?

 

[sir fly]

I guess this means Bardet is the best descender in the peloton.

Re: Re:

Nibali is like 8 minutes down overall guys, it's not like Froome would have chased him down anyway...

He did earlier but thats because he's an idiot.

and why Nibali was so right to continue with his attack this time

Re:

Seems to me Nibbles and Rolland have an agreement.

They spoke when Nibali reaached him

Re: Re:

Everyone stop, Bardet and Kreuziger have mechanicals

No one is attacking them though are they

Everyone still pedalling their bike at max is attacking them.

Re: Re:

This is great reading how understanding everyone is of poor misunderstood Nibali! I have no doubt if Froome had done the same thing, that understanding would have been extended to the forums most beloved rider

I'm sure if you went back five years and Froome had attacked in these circumstances no one would given a hoot about him... if you're not in contention then why would you wait?

Five years ago Froome would've been half an hour behind

He wouldn't have even made the Tour team.

Edit: I mean - he didn't even make the Tour team, since its not even hypothetical but fact.

Re:

Somebody will crash on that corner.

Is Barguil in the main group still? If so I would be worried about him playing skittles with the other riders again

Re: Re:

Are they in yellow???

should we just forget about attacking yellow because its froome thats in it?

Nibali didn't attack yel--never mind. Think what you want.

Team Sky Persecution Complex.

 

[Big Doopie]

rolland's style is always like his out on a club ride.

 

[whittashau]

Nibali the family man. I do miss his younger days

 

[Rechtschreibfehl3r]

So Thomas apparently almost 10 min down. So that's it for his GC aspirations.

 

[cantalupe]

Rain on the finish line

Re:

Contador has been very quiet.

maybe he just doesn't have the leg today. He has been descending at the back.. did he loose his nerve after the crash?

 

[Tryphon]

Hope to god a new fearless attacking hero comes along when Nibali retires.

He has come. His name is Bardet

 

[phanatic]

How much time can Nibali put into them on the climb?
