Quintana riding for Froome.

Re:

Way too large group considering the stage so far.

I was just thinking the same thing. Once again, they've failed to effectively gut Sky or fatigue Froome with a tough pace when it mattered.

 

[Irondan]

I'd like to see Rolland recover and get back with nibs.

 

[AICA ribonucleotide]

No one will attack until after the flat part around 8k to go.

 

[woodburn]

Nibali gaining ground on Lotto.

 

[sir fly]

Movistar is so lame.
Step up to the front, Jumbo can do their pace from the back.

 

[Arredondo]

Nibali deserves the podium.

 

[PremierAndrew]

Odds on Wout Poels dropping Froome followed by a twitter feud between Mrs Froome and Mrs Poels?

Re:

i'd like to go back in time and give pou pou a yellow jersey.

 

[Punkan]

Froome has won the tour. Quintana hasn't even attacked yet. Wonder how he thought he was going to take over 3 minutes?

Re:

Nibali deserves a better looking bike.

I know, it reminds me of a bike I had once as a child, bought from a supermarche!

 

[Sky'sthelimit]

When will Quintana really put pressure on Froome? Tense very tense.

 

[Escarabajo]

I Froome going to do a Landis here?

Movistar are a pack of frauds, this is a joke...

He is waiting for the train to arrive.

Never, he is cooked.

 

[maltiv]

Quintana has gone from one of my favourite riders to one of my least favourite riders during the course of this TDF...

 

[Irondan]

Paul saying Nibs not the sort of rider that will crack...

What race has he been watching..

Re:

Yep, same for me

 

[sir fly]

If Nibali gets to the 10k's mark with two minutes - he'll get it.

 

[One Eyed Aussie]

Re:

My stance on attacking has always been to quote Sastre 'It's a race not a tea party'. But Nibs is one of my favs and this just isn't sitting well. I should be happy he is winning this stage. But I'm not, I had higher expectations of him. Granted Astana has always attacked on others problems. Vino must have warped Nibs sense of honor.......

Yes that 15 sec mechanical made all the difference .

 

[bassano]

if Nibali will crack tomorrow after today, he will crack with honour, not like more others

 

[fungusbear]

Surely if Nairo was feeling alright he would have attacked. He might lose time to Froome the way this is going :/

Remember when he took a minute during the neutralisation of the Giro he won.

Perfect ending would be Quintana and Froome catching Nibali with 50m to go
