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

[One Eyed Aussie]

Who cares about attacking the yellow jersey BS? It's a race FFS!
Otherwise please list how far down the GC list people are supposed to stop for the yellow jersey. Make sure you hand a copy of this to the peloton at the beginning of each stage while you're at it.

Re:

nibs not pulling back more time on rolland.

He looks fresh though. And there is still a long way home. He looks solid to me.

Re:

I'm pretty sure Sky doesn't give two *** about Nibali attacking, with or without mechanical.

If anything, it helps Froome as Movi have to ride; and from the way Astana rode the climb, NIbs was gonna go anyway, so no biggie.

Poels looking better

But that doesn't fit with the 'hate Nibali' narrative...

Nah video showed Nibali looking back, seeing Froome in trouble and then going.

MoviSky are protecting their entire podium.

Yes but why wait until froomes mechanical. It could have led to a chain reaction of attacks, it was classless, disappointing too because he looks strong enough to win the stage anyway

I'm not 100% sure he realized it was a mechanical. He probably thought it was just Froome unable to keep the pace

It's irrelevant. Movistar didn't attack, and Nibali attacked Gesink.

Setting two historical precedents today:

The first team of 18 to line up at the Tour, and
the first team to sweep the podium

You can show anything with data

TBH it looked like he attacked when he saw Froome in trouble.

 

[Poursuivant]

55 seconds Nibali to make up.

He looks strong I think he will

Re: Re:

Froome has no place chasing Nibali who is way down anyway.
And Froome is the guy that took food from the car 2 years ago. **** him. He cheated.

Froome took nothing from the car

Indeed, he ordered his teammate to cheat

is taking a gel the same as attacking the yellow jersey under a mechanical??

He didnt attack the yellow jersey. He's way back on GC.

A lot of people being exposed as hypocrites.

 

[TI-Raleigh]

Nibs not really pulling back much time on the climb...losing it (to Rolland) if anything.

 

[mspgrandi]

Still 40 km to go, with an 18km climb... Nibali pacing his effort.

 

[maltiv]

Nibali looks empty...Rolland is waiting and yet he is barely making up time.

 

[Rechtschreibfehl3r]

Does anyone know how far back Thomas is?

Re:

He is, maybe he is Froome's main man for this and tomorrow's stage.

So what? Sky/Froome wouldn't be arsed if he did a regular attack as well.

How am I being a Hypocrite?

Nibs won't win this

 

[hfer07]

gotta love Rolland's style grinding that gigantic gear-almost looking like slow motion pedaling
