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

Re: Stage 19: Saint-Jean-de-Maurienn - La Toussuire-Les Sybe

Much respect to Contador, Valverde and Quintana for waiting. Nibali goes down in my respect, he may be no threat to the yellow but he has taken advantage of the others sportsmanship.

Astana does a great job isolating Froome, and they are not going to attacking after a mechanical? THAT WAS THE POINT!

Re: Re:

Phil with righteous indignation on the Nibali attack. What about when they attacked Nibali when he was caught behind a crash?

Meh like they waited for Contador when he crashed. Nibali was obvious today though.

Everybody attacks others when there is a problem. I'd rather they didn't but signal out Nibali, especially after he lost time to similar situation and isn't a threat to overall.

Really not that hard a climb if Lotto still have a domestique left.

 

[SoigneurNL]

Kruijswijk looking strong today..
Also 4 Dutchies in the group maillot jaune

 

[SeriousSam]

Froome probably angry now. I think he will make sure to drop everyone but Quintana.

 

[mr. tibbs]

Dutch Lottto. What the hell is wrong with these guys? Let Sky do the work.

 

[Irondan]

Nibs is in 7th, he's not really a threat. Settle down with the madness...

 

[Red Rick]

1 rider showing class right now, he is called Lo Squalo

Re:

That was disgustng from nibali

Man, I'm glad you guys don't watch/play basketball or American football.

 

[slim charles]

Well, don't know if Nibali knew Froome had a mechanical, but... It's not like Sky ever chased Nibali when he attacked, he's not anymore dangerous than Bardet

Sky is not going to chase Nibali, he's too far down.
If you want Sky to chase, try to will Valverde into an attack

Nibali is a better rider than having to rely on another rider having a mechanical to rideaway. That was not the point of their work and you know that....

Re:

hold on...

did ulrich wait?

Yes.

 

[Miburo]

I hope tinkoff is chasing for a stage and not to secure contador's 4th spot

 

[webbie146]

Quintana should have followed nibs, dumb man

 

[Arredondo]

Why is Tinkoff riding ffs?

Re:

Exactly. Nibali isn't riding for victory and has no obligation to wait for the MJ

Re: Re:

Kruiswijk proved to be a great climber though

 

[Aristarchus]

The yellow jersey isn't really at stake, so whatever Nibali had in mind isn't really Chaingate II. Besides, he could still end up well behind Froome by the end of the day.

 

[Marco Pantani]

Oh no...

 

[Lyon]

At least Movistar got an excuse for not attacking now. Good day for them.

Re:

nobody waited for nibali and quintana in the second stage.

Exactly, they should've waited for the reining TdF champion

 

[Publicus]

Re:

I'm pretty sure he wasn't in the maillot jaune on Stage 2. It's of no consequence though. Movistar will defend their maillot jaune

 

[vanderbob]

Not impressed with that Kazakh Nibaliev!
