Re:

So Quintana still losing time to Conta, Froome and Tejay at the moment.

Quintana a few seconds up on Contador at the second intermediate.

 

[l.Harm]

I think they want to save Basso for the climb. De Jongh said before the TTT they would save one for the end.

 

[Irondan]

TS not going so good. Cmon Alberto!!!

 

[sir fly]

BMC vs. Sky.

 

[the sceptic]

well this tour is pretty much over now

Re: Re:

Basso has been dropped

Shouldn't have been on Tour squad as I can't see him doing anything in the mountains

Well, he should never even been hired in the first place.

With all the respect to his past results, he has shown nothing in last few years and should have never been hired by this team.

So they are saving their weakest guy...

 

[goggalor]

Yesss Quintana catching up!

 

[Campervan man]

Sky might win this. Just the worst thing for the Tour

Re:

going slower than Movi

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

AG2R with a decent finish. They rode a stronger 2nd part than many teams

 

[LaFlorecita]

Tinkoff lost Bennati and Tosatto, that's terrible...

But you don't understand what he brings. He is un faro.

 

[Pantani Attacks]

Lol @ Froome doing everything

 

[Arredondo]

Froome vs Quintana the next two weaks

 

[No_Balls]

Re:

Froome to pull for 29 km.

 

[Publicus]

BMC is literally flying. No way Sky matches this.

 

[Punkan]

Froome looks really strong.

 

[Campervan man]

Froome pulling for ages. Absolutely making a joke of this race, he's so strong this July. Flats, hills, cobbles and soon mountains. Let's hope he doesn't kill it on stage 10.

Re:

I would think that would be who you would use up in the first part if you were Tinkoff, no? Guys like Valgren and Sagan will be good engines for the grinding climb at the end, and Majka, Kreuz, Rogers are good climbers who can shelter behind them. Seems like things are doing okay.
