Re:

Why is Team Sky working so hard? It would be good for them if Pauwels or Roche took yellow.

few days not in yellow won't really matter imho, they will still be present at the front of peleton all the time as usual, yellow or not

And they arent working much, steady tempo

 

[GuyIncognito]

Gotta love Calmejane. Would spank everyone in this group easily in a sprint. Still attacks over and over.

 

[Carols]

Calmejane, I may be falling in love

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Go Callmejane ffs...............

 

[markene2]

Gesink is the ultimate disel climber

 

[rick james]

Calmejane has had a good first week

Re:

Gesink looks like he could drop dead any minute now.

That's the Gesink we all love and trust!
Gesink for victory today!

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Great tenacity by Gesink here.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Interesting job for the jury to choose the most aggressive today. Pauwels?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

who's Alberto's companion?
Pantano

 

[rick james]

Pantano brings Bertie to the front

 

[Jelantik]

start to get yawn with the GC group. Sky just snubs any excitement now with the tempo ride

 

[Pantani_lives]

The problem for Gesink is the flat/descending finish. It will be hard to win.

Aru proved the train can be attacked

 

[bassano]

Yeah from interesting started stage became again boring day like usually on Tour

 

[Dazed and Confused]

The speed of the Sky train is soft......

 

[ice&fire]

The train is neither closing the gap to the break nor dropping Betancur

Re:

I think the lead riders are matching them, tells you the sky pace isn't strong

 

[SlickMongoose]

Yeah, any lack of action is not sky's fault here. The pace is not so strong to prevent attacks, the other teams just have to take a risk.

 

[TomLPC]

Uran or someone at least should have a try

Re:

It's not the train that's the problem, it's just that they don't feel like doing anything. They'd rather save themselves for tomorrow I guess.

Disappointing but not surprising.

 

[rick james]

poor road surface

 

[RattaKuningas]

Can't blame Sky indeed. They have the yellow jersey.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

There was a stage win for grabs but no one from the peloton had balls.

 

[alspacka]

Time check on Demare anybody?
