Sky is imploding?

Re:

No they always ride this way. Ride a negative split and use up the two weakest in the first half of the course. I expect these 6 to finish all together.

Sky 4 seconds quicker than Mitchelton at 2nd check point.

 

[DNP-Old]

BMC 14:13 too.

Sky are latching onto Froome, who will lead the group solo to the best TTT time.

Froome doing the whole climb by himself :O

TTTs should have a handicap system like horse racing
you add weight depending on the team budget.

I love this.

Looks like Mitchelton’s time is very good.

+1

 

[b.broadhurst]

38:55 for MS

Movi bleeding time in 2nd part

 

[SafeBet]

Only 5 left for Movistar now.

 

[b.broadhurst]

Movistar 27s down on Sky

 

[LaFlorecita]

Movi 5 men: their 4 leaders + 1?
Hmm

 

[b.broadhurst]

This is going to be very close!

 

[LaFlorecita]

Actually if Sky wins it's not going to be as bad as expected

 

[DNP-Old]

Bravo Egan!

 

[b.broadhurst]

Sky 5 seconds quicker. Finish with 5 and Castro 50m behind.

Superb job to stay with those riders at the end.

Bernal gonna win this Tour

 

[bajbar]

Even FDJ is not going to lose more than a minute and a half to Sky. Movistar will be around 40 seconds. Not as much as expected.

Re:

It would be amazing, but Papa Froome will be schooling them all.

Re:

Egan can only be second to Valverde

 

[DNP-Old]

Bardet is ***. 14:44 at P1, that's even slower than UAE.

 

[Rollthedice]

49 sec lost by Movistar. Very good.
