Wheelsucking? Voeckler? Never!

It will be quite the sight once the attacks start rolling on Manse and the group stares at Sagan waiting for him to chase. Up a mountain.

If they get there together, I think he should just pace himself well and ignore the attacks. He wouldn't lose much on the climb.

Sagan was too active since Cabre, he was practically inviting the others to attack him. He should learn to hide in a break better and let the teams with numbers do the chasing.

He's gonna slide off the descent, 2011 style, into someone's garden again?

Looking good for the break,with Sky at the front they are safe.Hopefully EBH will do it right this time.

It looks like MTN are going for Tekle or Pauwels, because EBH is doing way too much work in this break...

Bit off-topic but does anyone know which hotels the teams are staying at on the rest day?

 

[Taxus4a]

Today Nibali, Valverde and Contador are going to try. I am almost sure.

Planning to ambush the riders for autographs?

Wouldn't Alpecin's German engineering that according to Kittel causes big hair be not very beneficial due to weight gains at the scalp from the hair alone and not to mention the moisture retaining abilities not allowing for efficient cooling down and even more weight thus causing torsional flex?

 

[Ataraxus]

Hope the gap goes over 20 minutes. In that case we'll have full coverage of the top guns' descents

Basically I missed out in Utrecht and I doubt I'll be coming back to Europe in the next year or 2 so this is my only chance for a long time

By all accounts you won't have too much trouble finding the Sky one given the size of their entourage.

In Germany the slogan is "Doping für die Haare" which roughly translates to "Doping for your hair". So I guess the hair would reinfuse extra energy into the body to counter those effects.

Thanks Netserk.

Not sure what you mean by don't sleep on the bus

The Manse descent is luckily garden-free unlike the Pramartino descent into Pinerolo. Lots more room for going off the road with no harm, mostly. Just don't tell that to poor Beloki.

Gap up to 60s now. I still don't think it is enough time but the finale should be interesting for the stage and the GC battle.
