Re: Re:

Polka-dot dreams crushed for Fuglsang. I laughed so hard, but it feels so wrong to laugh at this situation.

LOL me too

Haha same here

 

[Sky'sthelimit]

Froome taking responsibility for winding nibali in.

 

[Jelantik]

nibali should go with contador early... now he can't get away...

 

[Big Doopie]

everyone trying to defend their top ten position.

Re: Re:

Contador just looking to defend his 5th place from Gesink. Sad to see.

Lol. Contador has literally NEVER ridden to defend a position below first. And I think, at this point, he (and Froome at last year's Vuelta) are the only ones who can claim that. Contador is trying anything to win this race, not to place in it.

To win? I don't think he's saving 5th place but neither do I think he's going for the victory. I'm more in the middle, seems to me like he is going for podium, challenging Valverde

yes, to win.

as lafluer's signature line reads: "the second place is no good."

this attack might work. it might not. the point is contador rides to win.

 

[TI-Raleigh]

Nibs part 2!

Re: Re:

Just tuned in, have I missed anything?

Nothing of consequence.

Just tuned in, have I missed anything?

Contador has attacked.

Thanks guys! Figured so much so I hit the gym instead of watching more dull racing. Hopefully we get some nice action on Montvernier though!

Quintana

 

[SoigneurNL]

Guys with Froome are trapped, should have gone earlier with Contador, Gesink et cetera.

 

[MikeTichondrius]

GC action? Wait, is this the 2015 TDF?

Re:

Froome taking responsibility for winding nibali in.

He let Nibali go, only reacted once Valverde jumped across trying to join him.

 

[Ruby United]

Quintana is gone? Froome losing on purpose to silence doubters?

 

[Rollthedice]

Ha ha, Quintana follows Nibali. Thomas does not love Quintana.

 

[the sceptic]

if only quintana had a track backgrund

 

[Jerkovin]

Time for some epic Nibz descending.

 

[Big Doopie]

talansky did demon descent yesterday. can he catch bardet?

 

[Sky'sthelimit]

Thomas what a super team mate to have.

 

[TI-Raleigh]

Valverde and Mollema cracked.

 

[PremierAndrew]

Piti cracked

Please please please Bertie and G

 

[TommyGun]

All these attacks are condemning Contador's break

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Quintana drops Valverde. Nice tactics.

 

[Eagle]

Quintana's attack drops Valverde
