Tour de France 2017 Stage 12: Pau > Peyragudes 214.5km

[ontheroad]

Absolutely horrible style of racing.

 

[Highlander]

Thank God that Thomas crashed out or the Sky train would never run out of riders. At this rate, Froome will have at least 1, maybe 2, teammates in the final few K

 

[Escarabajo]

Was Quintana the only one not taking food?
Lol.

Pity.

 

[DFA123]

Incredibly, this stage had managed to be even more tedious than the sprint stages.

Re:

It's good that Quintana rode the Giro at 80%, so he can ride the Tour at 60%?

He's just waiting for Froome to move... as in bowel movement.

 

[Cancelled]

I wish we could just pre-award the TdF to Froome and tell Sky to not bother showing up so we could get a real race.

Re: Re:

AG2R has 3 riders. They could've at least made some pace to make Sky work to get back.

1 rider and Bardet.
Gautier is dead and useless and Bardet probably would prefer to keep his one helper than make Sky work back up and lose his last dom.

For what exactly?

Good to see that Landa rode the giro at 80% so he is 100% in his dom role at the tour.

Where are Contador's teeth?

Power meters need to go. This is what you get when everyone has their w/kg or perhaps even a real time W' balance on the screen.

Quintana has to suck it up and focus on the Tour exclusively Armstrong-style if he wants to win this race next year imo.

I don't know if the Giro-Tour double talk was a bluff or a preemptive excuse or what, but it just isn't doable.

 

[Highlander]

Re:

I'm really impressed that Contador is still around. Bardet gonna give it some hell soon.

It won't matter as the Sky train will just catch him inevitably before the finish

 

[Brullnux]

Yay

Considering Dumoulin is doin Tour next year, Nairo should avoid it :lol:

Re:

I have no words for Kwiatkowski.

I always thought he wouldn't climb good enough to be a Grand Tour contender. I was wrong.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

If sky end up winning this and the Vuelta, all other teams will boycott the Giro next year. lol C'mon Aru n Bardet, do something FFS.

 

[Melo]

Kwiatkowski a freaking monster...

Totally agree.

 

[Kafviar]

Hope to see Froome crush these losers now.

 

[Rollthedice]

Usually on Nieve's pace attacks are possible, not Kwia's.

 

[Finn84]

Kwiatkowski gave 150% of himself seeing him after doing his work.

Contador looks like he's not dying. Fascinating considering the horrid last few days.
