Re:

I think we are seeing the downside of Froome taking yellow so early and having to ride hard in the Jura. All except Landa and Kwiat are exhausted. Froome not looking great either.

Well Kiryienka is coming back to the MJ-group and Nieve is still with Froome, so don't think the entire team is "exhausted".

Pace too slow in the Aru group with so many riders coming back and yoyoing.

Re: Re:

Porte would have destroyed this tour, such a shame

nope.

What like Dauphine

 

[ontheroad]

Pure racing here today, no power meters, no riding tempo and total unpredictability. Contador the man to kick it all off again.

 

[meat puppet]

The question is can Walsh enjoy this? I can, on many levels.

Re:

He'd have been interesting but he's a naive leader, has a weak team and can't descend. He'd have got eaten

Yep

 

[ontheroad]

Whats the gap from Quintana to Landa, seems to be about 25-30 secs. Would make things interesting if they joined up.

Re:

This is why I like Contador. He can't win this Grand Tour, but he can decide who wins it, again. What a rider

But he isn't deciding who is gonna win it. He is irrelevant in this race now and is being allowed to go otherwise he wouldn't have got away from the front. At least he's trying and getting Trek on the TV.

Re:

After he said he was feeling sick when Landa was at Astana to nothing when he first joined Sky, I asked if he was feeling sick when he was pulling the Sky train.

I was blocked.

I hope he's fuming :lol:

 

[cadence]

Waiting for the incoming Landa Giro/Tour double next year debate haha

 

[Rollthedice]

Bardet and Froome attack Aru on the descent.

 

[jsem94]

Bardet goes, Froome follows.

 

[Brullnux]

Froome chasing down Landa

 

[8472]

Wow Kwiat bridging to Contador group to work for Landa, and now Bardet attacks with Froome. Need 7 man teams please...

 

[MartinGT]

FFS ITV ADVERTS!!!!

Re:

Froome chasing down Landa

:lol:

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Aru finds himself in the position of Dumoulin Vuelta 16. Weak team, everyone attacking him. Closest challenger has strongest team.

Funny.

 

[portugal11]

Froome isn't good. If he was, he would have wait for the final climb to drop aru and bardet

 

[sir fly]

What a stage!

 

[Rollthedice]

Action is over in MJ group.

 

[Forever The Best]

LottoNL wants to defend their 9th at all prices I guess...
