Descent will be vital for Geschke. If he arrive the bottom of Pra Loup with 1.30 on Pinot, he's got a chance.
He will have more than that on Pinot after the descent ;)

Majka not going for the stage win. Will wait at the bottom of Pra-Loup for Contador.

Lol, nope. That is ridiculous. Contador would have to drop Froome and Movistar before then, and even if that was a case he wouldnt pull 4 minutes off of them. Better go for a stage win
very unbiased when you are Polish :rolleyes:
He's right though.
he said he is gonna work for Contador in this Tour, so no, he is wrong ;)

Astana come to the front, a little late I think.

I thought they would drive the pace to set up a Nibali win. Surprised at how they rode.

Same here, I was hoping they would set it up for Nibali to have a go at taking the stage win. :(

I will never be able to see Majka as a simple domestique. He has much more of a KotM challenger or Vino/Rasmussen style mountain free-role.

Why not a Grand Tour contender in a few years?

See, he can be our new Rodriguez, Samu or Sastre IMO. If he gets to lead a team he'll always be there or thereabouts. I do believe there are better all-rounders suited to win GTs. But oh yeah, he'll challenge and I'll love to watch. Like his style.

So that's why he already has a stage victory? Clearly it would be ridiculous to let Majka drop from the front group when he's the big favorite to win the stage.

That was before Contador proved to be too weak to do anything though. Priorities change during the race

Astana and Movistar have really been disappointing thus far. Still a way to go, but where are the balls?

I am prepared to give Astana benefit of the doubt here. They have been **** this whole Tour and all this "i am going with Contador"-thing public addressed at Sporza by Nibali was most likely balloney. He doesnt seem to have the form to do a long term assault on Froome and probably only tried to force Contador showing his hand. After this he knows he cant count on Astana/Nibali either until its too late.

The real disappointment here is Movistar who have a stong team through and through but are too afraid to burn their overall to make a serious move.

Good points. I can't blame Sky for making the race dull since they are leading, but yes Movistar are screwing up today fighting for scraps.
