Meh, poor break.

Re:

Not a good break for those hoping for plenty of action. Most of them aren't good climbers at all.

Well, maybe Ulissi. I had him in my team, but didn't select him today

Re:

Kittel in the break
That's like his third attack ever

Matthews must be delighted

Congrats on Cummings winning Stage 12

Can't see it today somehow. Not with that lot, this far out and this parcours. I'd have thought tomorrow suits him better.

Well at least he can consolidate second...

THomas deGendt

 

[del1962]

Things might change on first climb, will there be a new break forming then?

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Froome wants the stage win

Contador and more riders caught behind a railway crossing. The producers apparently didn't want to show it.

Actually one of the few circumstances were waiting would be fair if the race status allows it.

Yeah, I'd say circumstances that aren't part of the race cause differences are a valid reason to wait.

That was to be expected with the flat start of the stage.

Cant see this break making it ....and now SKY have killed the race .....Tour parcour fail again ...needed an uphill start to get a strong climber break

 

[Rollthedice]

Berto is back, in the back of the peloton.

Re:

ASO will never understand this.

[sir fly]

Speaking about the weather... The Pyrenees never let down.

Agreed.
And Sky are not even using any of their mountain doms.

 

[sir fly]

Something's telling me there'll be some action already on Port de Balès.
Doesn't make much sense considering tomorrow's intensity and Sky's strength, but hopefully...

 

[loge1884]

*** break, will definitely fall apart on Col de Menté .... Thomas de Gendt maybe to continue, but I can't see anyone there able to offer any support ....

Re: Re:

They went uphill in the first 100meters of sundays stage...

 

[Ruby United]

It looks like Sky will slowly let the break grow out and let them take the stage.

Bardet will attack on the descent to peyragudes
