Re: Re:

Sure you didn't

3rd time in less than 24hrs you twist my words then pretend that's what I meant all along. I suggest this is the last time.

Read my post again, I said sure you didn't, meaning I agree with you. The smiley was meant to be conciliatory.

I think that's Kittel and others. Demare apparently 21-22 minutes.

Re: Re:

The last climb looks promising, better than on paper.

Maybe we'll see a lesser GC contender lose time but with the final 10km being flat I don't see anything major happening.

Last 10KM aren't flat. Undulating. Stage has been ridden hard someone might be able to get away. 15" gain would be great for anyone in top 10

Maybe I made a mistake then. My bad.

Can't be. Less than 10 min ago it showed that Kittel group was around 7km back and Demare 12km back. Demare has to be well over 12 minutes back according to this.

Mike Flowers has certainly earned his pay cheque today.

It's not flat at all.

Okay, it's (false) flat with the exception of one short little downhill and one ramp that's a little bit steeper than false flat or call it "rolling". Doesn't matter, the point stands - no lone GC contender is going to hold off a group led by the Sky train - well except Froome.

Seems we'll get a rerun of the Giro stage, after all.

The hell did they pour in the river??

Poison. The green colour gives it away.

 

[silvergrenade]

With Domestiques starting the climb 1'30 ahead of their leaders...
The big GC guys can put a lot of time..
I can totally see Porte, Aru or Froome putting the hammer down.

Cannondale Team Kit.

Landa and Henao back to their duties.

 

[rick james]

Shirley Kittel will miss the time cut

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Well if you have the Milan San Remo winner and the Paris Nice winner working for you.. then such a gap is ez game to close

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Astana amassing
