STAGE15: Cesana Torinese - Col Du Galibier (Valloire) 149 kms

[roundabout]

Lulz, a rather mediocre climber like Visconti starts a 25km 1700 meters climb 2 minutes ahead and still wins by 30 seconds

[SKSemtex]

Polish fans not gonna be happy with Nimiec. He takes the 8 seconds from Majka giving Betancur the white jersey

exactly.

 

[Bala Verde]

How could it be better? Apart from the retards neutralizing the stage in the beginning

The stage only got semi-interesting with 5K to go?

turd of a stage.

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

I don't blame the peloton for taking the first 60km slowly. I do blame riders like Evans and Uran for not having the balls to attack Nibali. I blame Betancur for being to scared to go for the win. (well, Betancur did at least attack)

Let's hope they will show something later.

 

[argyllflyer]

According to the perpetually poor DQ, it's congratulations to the "Spaniard" Giovanni Visconti on his win!

 

[burning]

Gesink lost another minute, that's definitely less than what was expected

Visconti in tears.

 

[the asian]

Good that an Italian won, but a pity the stage was such a farce.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Late 70's funk is the latest craze in the French Alps.

 

[Red Rick]

It´s pretty bad for the race that the most agressive minded rider got pink so quickly

 

[T-Nielsen]

AG2R really messed that one up didn't they.

 

[ILovecycling]

What a awful weather,they have to suffer like ****
Visconti impressive win,Betancur and Majka battle will be very entertaining.
Nibali looks completely in control!

Intxausti wasnt in the group,am I right?

 

[hrotha]

Good that an Italian won, but a pity the stage was such a farce.

You mean Spaniard.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

In fact Visconti wasn't the Sicilian on view there was Caruso & Nibali up there.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Can Betancur win the points jersey?

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.

Maybe that was all they could do?

 

[deValtos]

Well that wasn't the most enjoyable stage to watch

 

[Netserk]

Take another look.

[vcampbell]

Thank god tomorrow is a rest day, so the poor riders can make rest after todays non-stop attacking and insane pace.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Polish fans not gonna be happy with Nimiec. He takes the 8 seconds from Majka giving Betancur the white jersey
