Re: Re:

Valverde got his podium spot now.

Not yet. Contador is still dangerous.

Yes, I hope so. I'd much rather see AC up there. I was just stating the obvious.

 

[rune1107]

Tinkoff and Movistar now working together?

I get that Kwiatkowski is the world champ, but I don't think we need to see him dangling off the back multiple times on every climb...

The thing with Movistar is I think they've fully thrown in the towel in regards to Froome. On the face of it, it's obvious why. How can you stay motivated to attack when his second wingman is bringing back your attacks and you *know* Froomey himself will eventually go warp factor 9 and end up minutes down?

Re:

Contador at 80% would still beat Valverde in the mountains.

Re:

Why wouldnt Quintana and Verde go with contador and break froome

Because they have no interest in winning. . Valverde could win the tour or lose everything, but he might hurt little Nairo's feelings and is too scared to attack anywhere besides the last KM.

Re: Re:

I hope Movistar end up with nobody on the podium. It would be such sweet karma.

Indeed. Shameful.

I guess 2/3 are better than winning TDF. what an idiot. They could have burned sky domestique and isolate froome.. again vuelta happen again. Last time w/ valverde refused to cooperate now.. the entire squad working for sky!

[Sky'sthelimit]

Can sort of see why sky put two,riders up the road to provide support for Froome later on

 

[Irondan]

Movistar....

 

[TMP402]

Froome found an extra teammate - none of them are looking terribly strong though.

 

[auscyclefan94]

*Ride to heartrate Sky*...ignore attacks! ;-)

A'ight, I just lost my *** with that one.

This is the question.

I agree. But until today AC hasn't been 80% Let's hope he gets there..

Valverde is thick.

 

[pedromiguelmartins]

Wow, you are not even allowed to hate any rider on team, no matter how pathetic they are. Wow, what a great forum.

 

[Susan Westemeyer]

Please remember that ill-wishing is not allowed and brings with it an automatic 24-hour ban. Thank you.

 

[DFA123]

Movistar obviously have something planned for today with so many guys in the break. We should probably wait to see how the stage pans out before slamming them.
