Re:

Why isn't Quintana in the polka dots ? It's supposed to go in order of yellow, green, polka dots, white

Because he's the best younger, and not the winner of the KOM classification.

 

[SeriousSam]

Just saw a light blue figure going backwards. Nibali dropped?

 

[Jaaanosik]

Sagan should have got the most aggressive rider of the Tour.
Well, french...

 

[McLovin]

Was Nibali in front to congratulate Froome?

 

[sir fly]

Why they aren't attacking?!
I'm disappointed...

Re: Re:

bardet voted most aggressive rider of tour.

sagan should have attacked more. or was a breakaway or two short of being REALLY aggressive.

Poor Sagan, bet he came 2nd in that vote too...

always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

Re:

Confirmed that 1st passage is the effective finish.

But riders still need to cross the line all ten times (without being lapped?)

By no means wishing for it for anyone, but how bad a fall is possible before withdrawal in such circumstances?

So the 3 km crash zone is 3 km before the 1st passage?

Zubeldia on the front

Movistar protecting Valverde's podium of course

Re: Re:

Bardet won the Super-Combatif. Not that surprising, he is French after all, but I don't see how you can not give it to Sagan, other than saying he already won the Green.

This.

I would agree that it's because he already won a prize, and Bardet is a deserving winner.

But Bardet has a prize which Sagan would trade his for.

contador will attack on cat4 climb with sagan on his wheel forming two man breakaway. this breakaway holds until last 20 meters of race where, in a furious sprint finish, sagan is nipped at the line by farrar.

you read it here first.

 

[sir fly]

The ninja is from Movistar, actually.

Re: Re:

what language does quintana speak with froome?...i never saw a english interview of him

Nibali only does Italian interviews as well yet he and Froome talk.

People are often not comfortable interviewing in non native languages.

the way the cycling world holds every minor inconsistency to be an admission of some sort of wrong doing, can you blame them?

Movistar protecting Valverde's podium of course

now they should really attack

 

[Pricey_sky]

Froome dropped!!

 

[PremierAndrew]

Re:

Froome dropped!!

Time for Nibali to attack

 

[Irondan]

Re:

Froome dropped!!

Not really surprising, it's happened a lot the past few days...

 

[etymology]

Re:

Froome dropped!!

froome riding back to peloton not looking at stem!

 

[PremierAndrew]

Do the riders need to finish the race once they've crossed the line once?

 

[wirral]

Richie Porte almost falling off.

 

[McLovin]

Preud'homme looked anything but happy when he was shaking hands with Froome. Or maybe he was soaked?

Re: Re:

luckily only by Quintana. And not the other 160-odd riders!

 

[Ramira]

Gotta love that Sky put all this effort into yellow bars, and then they have to wear the rain jackets with blue bars anyway. Not to mention Froome started with a normal black jacket as well.
