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

Re: Re:

You think Movistar are ready to work with others against sky? no signs of that so far, as long as Valverde can chase down Conti and Nibali Froome has an extra helper.

Contador and Nibali are no threat for Froome at all! He's letting them go every time. They are threat for Valverde so he naturally chases them. Why don't they pull Valverde when he bridges? What do you think? They stop every time, you know why? Because it's him they are attacking, not bloody Froome! Froome is light year ahead of them!

Why doesn't Valverde work with them and put the pressure on Froome?

valverde only rides for himself... don't care about working with nibali or contador even if that's benefit him.

Re:

some of you act like they have never watched TDF. why are you guys bashing lotto. how are they doing work for sky? sky was setting a very low pace, gap was almost 3 min. Lotto is pushing now which gives sky no rest and the gap is 1:30 now.

right.. then lotto domestique will blow up right in the beginning of the climb. Then sky will soft pedal again..

The reason why people are pissed is the majority of this forum hate Sky. The only people that like Sky are the sky fanboys who are annoying as ***.

And when he had a chance, they stop every time, why don't they work? I'll tell you why, because it's him they were attacking in the first place! And Froome/Sky is on his wheel immediately by the way...

True, but Valverde + Quintana are

because valverde is no threat to froome.

 

[mspgrandi]

I just dont get it...

1) the organizer for designing stupid stages...
2) the teams , trying to get on big breaks on the first climb, then they stop riding until the last 2km

 

[glassmoon]

Sprinters back in peloton. Pathetic.

Nibali/Contador attacked at the start and all of SKY bar Froome dropped like a stone. Everything came back together on the 30km of flat

So you think Contador and Nibali are riding to gain 3rd spot on podium? nonsense, when Valverde closes so does Sky.

 

[Frosty]

There is a flatter section in a few kilometres climb, followed by some steeper kilometres (10%) - that could be where the big attacks start?
