lol, I bet Valverde has never been more relieved in a race than to see Cancellara come flying past.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Fabian working for Reichenbach now

Re:

Spain with zero ideas really.

Spain has been Movistar'd.

 

[luckyboy]

lol, 50 seconds already. Spain screwed this up big time

 

[Red Rick]

I love how Canc is trying to bring everything back so Reichenbach may get 19th place instead of 25th.


I really don't

 

[SeriousSam]

50 seconds. Valverde and Rodriguez probably blew it

Re:

WTF just happened?

Valverde/Purito pushing...

No, they waited for Canc.

 

[Climeon]

52 seconds wow, Nibble's looking v.good

 

[carolina]

kwiat has cramps.

 

[woodburn]

Hilarious watching Spaniards waving Cancellara through.

 

[rick james]

Can't believe the TV shots missed the descent from Nibali

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

50 seconds with committed helpers pulling and fresh quality riders waiting for the last climb, looking increasingly like the winner is up front

 

[Fight.The.Power]

C'mon Yates !!!

 

[DFA123]

France a bit missing in action so far. Must think they can close the gap on the climb, or just haven't got it today.

 

[Pippo_San]

Crazy race man I tell you.

 

[SKSemtex]

Epic race. Gva ftw

 

[PremierAndrew]

Valverde needs to put his nose in the wind now if he wants to win instead of yet another negative, high placed finish

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

If it's really 50 seconds it's over for the peloton.

 

[Andy262]

Great ride Kwia chapeau

 

[nightfend]

This needs to be a yearly race on the schedule

Barguil has long abandoned and said in an interview that Bardet is not feeling good either.

Absolutely insane. Too bad he couldnt get to the bottom of last climb but still insane ride

Re:

It's not about the course, it's about the size of the teams.

He already did and was going backwards. Much better to sit behind Cancellara and hope he can do something on the climb

The "peloton" doesn't even look much bigger than the "breakaway" anymore.
