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

Re:

@TheRaceRadio 9s9 seconds ago
For the Euro folks, Steve Porino just told @NBCSNCycling that he talked with Movistar and they said Quintana is not 100% today.

I never trust a word Porino says. How he talks about pulling up to team cars on a motor bike and talking to the managers reeks of bs. We'll see.

Re:

Someone should attack Contador one day when he goes for a bike change.

Astana, Giro, Mortirolo

Re:

Now we'll see if two minutes is enough for Nibali against Froome and Contador.

Yeah, like a real ceteris paribus, like.

Gear ratio? No brake track on the wheels to save weight?

Marginal gains.

I'm giving Nibbles the benefit of the doubt and that he wasn't aware of Froomes mechanical. If he was I believe he would not have attacked the MJ.

But immaterial to the Situation IMO. The real chapeau for me goes to Poels and what he is doing to support CF.

Mech doping talk is still doping talk. Save it for the clinic.

What would be the benefit of changing bike?

 

[Jelantik]

contador changed his bike... does he has the leg today? or let nibali get his 4th position..

 

[sir fly]

Quintana needs to attack as early as possible.
Poels can hold this tempo.

Re:

Motor time for Pistolero. ROFL that's hilarous.

Why does he change bike?

 

[Big Doopie]

gap coming down.

Perhaps different gear ratios for descending and climbing.

 

[mr. tibbs]

Frank feeling yesterday, it seems. Those IAM kits are sharp, though.

[Moose McKnuckles]

Sure wish I could pedal like Rolland.

Contador has a serious case of OCD. Only reasonable explanation.

Nibali goes

Nibali drops Rolland!
