Tour de France 2015 Stage 17: Digne-les-Bains-Pra Loup 161km

[cipurian]

Quick pace so far.

 

[Frosty]

Lanterne rouge Bennett dropped again - gonna be a very tough day for him if the break doesn't go soon.

Has got some company with Haas also dropped.

 

[Arredondo]

We would have had a great Tour, if they would broadcast the first hour of these stages

 

[del1962]

Seems like Sam Bennett is having a tough time

Re:

Aren't they broadcasting earlier today? I thought there would be live pictures in 20 minutes or so.

 

[Jalgratas95]

It seems that breakaway forms on the wrong side of the peloton. It seems that there are already people left behind by peloton.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Astana going all out for a Nibali win today then?

No, live pictures in 40 minutes. At least in Holland/Belgium.

 

[Arredondo]

Group of 37 (!), again with Peter and Purito

 

[cipurian]

Sagan just doesn't give a damn.

Re:

Hopefully this is final breakaway. 3rd cat climb maybe helps their cause as well.

 

[Sasquatch]

Now *** is happening. Damn this needs to be televised.

Re:

if they cooperate, then at least 3 teams would have to join to chase them back.

 

[Sasquatch]

The break was starting to get established, sort of and then Quintana attacks on the first climb. Yes. Good signs.

You can count on lotto to protect gesinks 8th place

 

[Devilen]

Rolland might be just that few minutes to close for that break to get a long enough leash for funny things to happen.

Names of the group

sagan with majka, it could get interesting

wtf is degenkolb and mathews doing there. I honestly sagan can't win it unless he gets 1 minute headstart on pra loup thanks to crazy descending.

 

[Sasquatch]

All back together thanks to Quintana.

 

[The Hitch]

Re:

For real?

I'm getting cautiously optimistic for a great stage. Only cautiously because I remember that day in the ps 2 years ago when movi had froome isolated and didnt even try.

 

[wirral]

Quintana Dog!

 

[infeXio]

[BeagRigh]

[sir fly]

Quintana partybreakawayker.

It is a positive sign but I'm certainly not going to get ahead of myself for that reason.
