Re: Re:

Ligget on Geraint, "he's got a new pair of white sunglasses after that crash where he lost them."

um, okay, that was random.

In an interview yesterday G seemed more concerned about losing his white glasses that they don't make anymore than the actual crash.

Ah okay, so it's not just him being senile.

It's surprising he can remember it!

Re: Re:

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.

Me neither since, well, they race as Tinkoff did during the Giro and Astanas approach was the best to isolate the leader back then. Having said that Sky is clearly stronger then TS here why the importance from the likes of Movistar putting the pressure early so that Sky's key riders have more to do then just protect Froome over the last climb.

 

[Afrank]

Nairito goes!

 

[Vino's Mum]

Vamos Nairito!!!

Question is: who will try to follow Nibs on the descent

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Go go Quintana! Nice acceleration actually.

This was the Great Vomistar plan we were told about 3 hours ago?

 

[Ruby United]

Things have lighted up!

 

[Escarabajo]

Gesink dragging the two Sky riders.

 

[the sceptic]

Dawg answering all attacks with ease.

 

[Eagle]

Richie is back

 

[damian13ster]

Poor Pinot :/ He actually conquered his fear and went for it just to crash

 

[Sky'sthelimit]

Sky tatics now coming into the fore.

 

[Eclipse]

Sky are like roaches. Just when you think you've dealt with them another pops up

Re: Re:

Majka not really saving himself for Contador ... embarrasing teams in pro cycling...

He's there to win the stage.

he won one, thats enough, he should work for a rider who won 9 GT and is trying to attempt Giro-Tour.

Contador is riding for second
Of the GC contenders only Quintana still believes he has a chance of victory... oh yeah, and Froome

Uhm no he isn't lol
