[Pippo_San]

Man this race is brutal. Awesome.

 

[spalco]

There's a lot more people on the road than at a bunch of the other events I've seen today.

 

[SlickMongoose]

There's Yates, sat on the back of the peloton.

 

[Finn84]

Gilbert and EBH in trouble.

 

[mspgrandi]

this is super hard. 240km ... onli Long diesel survive. We never have these stages at the tour. would be nice to have them

 

[hfer07]

Damn - Gilbert & EBH out

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Rui Costa also gone, wow

 

[Gigs_98]

Who would have thought that the last rider of this break who gets caught will be Koshetkov

 

[Rollthedice]

On the last lap climb there will be less than 20 riders left.

 

[Punkan]

Damn, some brutally steep sections.

 

[Tyke1968]

It must be all for Yates or Froome as Thomas has gone IMO too early.

 

[luckyboy]

At some point I was gonna ask why they didn't use this climb from the other direction so it is constant but that way it looks even steeper than this. I guess this is hard enough, yeah.

 

[Billie]

Caruso, GVA, Thomas attacking

Spaniards have to react.

 

[GuyIncognito]

Somebody tell the BBC morons that a 1 at the end of the number doesn't mean team leader

 

[nightfend]

And they do these big climbs three times. Brutal.

[doperhopper]

[Ikbengodniet]

Re:

that was josé mendes, not costa.

 

[rick james]

what a climb

 

[trucido]

Kwiatkowski using the Sky train tractor beam.

 

[Tyke1968]

Small teams plus great course = great race.

 

[GuyIncognito]

Re: Re:

that was josé mendes, not costa.

the numbers are sequential here, they don't advance to the next decade by team.
74 can be on one team, 75 on another

 

[postmanhat]

Thought Belguim would have sent Wellens up at this stage
