Tour de France 2015 Stage 15: Mende-Valence 183km

[Punkan]

What the hell was that TS?

Mads Kaggestad from TV 2 Norway has talked with the Lotto DS, apparently, and was told that once they are over this climb, they will assist Katusha, because they don't believe that Bak can win from this group. That's why he is not working in the front group.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Why do they keep showing the laughing group ?

Grupetto now at 10m10s

Riding without Vandenbroeck hasn't made them any more adventurous, has it...

By accelerating like this, they could destroy Lotto and Katusha's teams if they are lucky. That would favour Rogers and Sagan. I'm not sure it will actually work, but maybe that's why.

Just trying to hurt some of the Katusha and Lotto riders before the chase.

This, is it Tinkov logic again?

 

[Arnout]

What a complete farce, a stage like this in the last weekend. No wonder cycling isn't taken seriously.

Yeah, with 1k to go of the climb.

 

[JRanton]

The time limit will be about 20 minutes today I think. The Cavendish group will have to go full gas to the finish to make it.

Break is doomed partly thanks to TS. Jesus...

 

[Punkan]

Hesjedal with another pointless attack that will lead to absolutely nothing.

 

[DFA123]

Saxo angry because their tactics have been awful again.

Wasn't Sagan in the break?

Yup

Re:

Break was doomed either way. And Sagan got what he went into the attack for.

 

[Devilen]

The tactics for Saxo haven't been bad as much as they didn't except Katusha pushing so hard.

 

[Stelvio]

TS mechanic threw a bottle on the cameraman. Commisaires not gonna like that.

 

[Punkan]

Sagan with a vicious low kick. Dude can do it all.

 

[saganftw]

it was because the moto was braking right behind him when he was about to change the bike

Faustino Muñoz, he got thrown out of the Giro in 2011 by the race jury because he car-doored a "fan" who was trying to hit Contador during the uphill time trial

Was it not dimwit Sean Yates that chucked the bottle? Edit: on twitter Race Radio says Nino Berto.

 

[Linkinitouille]

RIP breakaway, and even worse than I expected.

30 *** kilometers from finish. Gonna get some sleep.

Tinkoff-Saxo employed Sean Yates as a mechanic?
