Bardet said that it was too far from the finish to attack!!
So you know what to expect in the last two mountain stages.

Re: Re:
Well most on here all year have been trying to convince us in the know that Martin is not a climber ....
If he had a team he would have a great chance of wining this ..He has been bounced off a wall and still ahead of the mighty Landa
But as you were...go back to the hype

Re: Re:
Not any more than Martin, Aru, Uran or Bardet to be hones
He has the strongest team by a mile
If he had no team like Martin , Uran or Aru then I would concur without a doubt ...as it is your statement is too premature

Re: Re:
Obviously Froome is a worthy winner, but they didn't try to kill him today. All they did was ride a hard tempo. Not a single favourite attacked when he was behind.
They were cowards, they could've broken the strongest rider, but were afraid to go all in because they could lose their GC spot. If for example Bardet, Uran, Aru and Martin managed to jump away from that group and worked together Froome most likely would not return, but they also most likely had Landa sitting in their wheels chilling.
Either way they didn't even try which was dissapointing. Froome is not going to lose minutes in the last week, most likely I expect him to gain time before the final TT.

Re: Re:
The million dollar question. Martin seems to be the only one who is willing to take a risk. Uran gives the impression he is riding for a podium.

Re: Re:
Yes, but frankly speaking, any contender would've had huge problems if he had punctured at the most inopportune moment as froome did today. yes, landa and nieve saved his as$ but that's the reason why there were taken on sky board for the tour.HelloDolly said:dacooley said:no guts for it for really enthusiastic fans.TMP402 said:

Re: Re:
That's never going to happen while AG2R have about six riders. When Bardet starts taking turns, the other GC contenders can be expected to join in. AG2R just didn't go hard enough; their weakish climbers needed to force a pace above what Froome could do - even if they could only hold it for a minute each.can3478 said:
Re: Re:
Well it is a team sport and Landa played the role he is paid to do today. It doesn't help that Astana and Cannondale are pretty weak at the moment.

Dan Martin has just said in the interview that they were going really fast when Froome had his puncture and he doubts anyone else would have gotten back on.
Bardet/AG2R really had the hammer down, and for Froome/Nieve, a spent Kiry and an out of form Henao to gain 40s or so on them is pretty phenomenal. Not only that but Froome looked immediately comfortable after the massive effort of getting back on.

When the teams check who the GC leader should be, they not only should look at the VO2 max, but at the testosterone levels as well. They are equally important!!
