Until 5km of the finish, the peloton was still 60 riders big. Of course they can go faster than that. If you have a team like sky, you should at least try something.iZnoGouD said:Maybe that was all they could do?
Even if that were the case (which I doubt, but ok, for the sake of the argument), that wouldn't keep the stage from having been ****e.iZnoGouD said:Maybe that was all they could do?

Just three 2nd places more...Waterloo Sunrise said:I'm working on the assumption Cav takes 25 more points. On that basis Betancur needs to take 56 points from the remaining stages, and as I say, I'd be surprised.

Waterloo Sunrise said:If Cav misses the time limit, he has a chance, but if not then I'd be surprised if anyone other than Cadel or Mauro catch Cav.

Yeah,that was stupid but he probably didnt know what is the time difference between them.The Hitch said:Polish fans not gonna be happy with Nimiec. He takes the 8 seconds from Majka giving Betancur the white jersey
It wasnt,but are you surprised with this weather?deValtos said:Well that wasn't the most enjoyable stage to watch

Vini Fantini is the kind of team that couldn't, er, perform abroad.Jelantik said:TDF should have invited Vini Fantini team. This team is full of fire crackers. They seems to get bored and can't sit still .. rain, snow ATTACK.. ATTACK..

The Hitch said:I would have thought 2nd 2nd 3rd 2nd, and with 2 hills and 2 mtfs still to go, Betancur would be right up there.

Waterloo Sunrise said:If you think that wouldn't be a surprising result from the 4 remaining stages he has a serious shot at, then you live on another planet.
He needs to average 3rd on those 4 stages. It would be a surprise.
