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

[Sylvester]

Croix de Fer will be really, really interesting.

Froome still has Thomas, Poels and König with him but Thomas and König look weak today.

Re:

Did Purito (and other) gap Froomes group? Graphics says it's 15 seconds between them.

Purito + Rolland - not sure if they will bother to push on or not though

ufff.....
the extensive annoying coverage of bardet has started.

Think Richie Porte is having a bad day. Hopefully Nibali/Contador/Quintana will go crazy on the next climb

 

[AICA ribonucleotide]

What are Rolland and Uran doing?
I understand Bardet and Purito want the mountains points at the top of the Col de la Croix de Fer.
There isnt a chance of this staying away.

 

[sir fly]

This is like a good edition of a classic.

 

[fungusbear]

Hopefully the pace stays high in the main group on this flat. Keep the race difficult

 

[Sylvester]

Gautier chasing Rolland

 

[fungusbear]

Re:

He must want a contract with AG2R.

 

[46&twoWheels]

Rolland doing a "tony Martin"

 

[Sylvester]

Koren, Oliveira and Sanchez among others are with Sagan. No Sky riders there.

 

[Volderke]

Sagan is back for the sprint!

 

[Frosty]

Adam Yates chasing with Sagan as well

 

[Sylvester]

If one of the main contenders forgets to eat / drink we might see some gigantic gaps today.

 

[Pulpstar]

Looks like a decent start to the day !

 

[Jelantik]

i hope it continues...

 

[TMP402]

Please let Mollema finish half an hour behind Bardet...

At least he is good to watch especially descending, unlike Clown Pinot and reckless cowboy Barguil

 

[glassmoon]

Sky chasing Sagan. Wtf?

 

[Sylvester]

They don't listen to Froome today.

 

[fungusbear]

We need Nibali and co to go ham on the next climb otherwise this stage will become the borefest we are used to.

 

[Punkan]

Should be huge gaps to today.

 

[Eagle]

Sky chasing everyone that tries to go now
