Re:

I'm so angry! Idiotic racing from the favorites!

At some point one has to accept Froome is a worthy winner.

Re: Re:

A group of favourites could've put atleast a minute into Froome today, but they are afraid to work together. Uran, Bardet, Aru and 3 others could've left their doms and go all out....

Of course but they are all concerned about their beloved podium chances. Froome wins this TdF being something like the fifth-sixth climber in the race.

Get a grip.
Landa is better because he dropped Froome once, in a steep 300 meter finish?
Aru was let go in the beginning while Froome and Porte were watching each other.
Uran has done what? Nothing but follow wheels and gapped Froome slightly at the steep finish?
Froome's attack was certainly the most powerful on the stage where Porte crashed. Dropped all of the remaining contenders bar Uran.

Congrats froome for your fourth tour!!

Good lord...

Allez Thibaut!!!

 

[DenisMenchov]

I understand the tactics to have a whole team against Froome on the decent, but once they saw the gap was coming back, they needed to start working together... Surreal

 

[Jelantik]

Froome just dodged the bullet. AG2R can't finish him off... too bad.

 

[Matteo.]

Froome has made an extraordinary comeback, not many would have succeeded. But his opponents have run like cowards, without offense. They had to cooperate with each other to break froome but instead ...

Re:

If anything blame this stupid farce of the parcours putiing 20-30 k of flat downhill after a climb

Perfect route for Bardet, blame him for not winning on it

 

[Forever The Best]

Ths is so much like Dumoulin's Giro win.They had the opportunity to finish Froome but wasted all of them, just like the Giro. (against Dumoulin)

More like a Bazooka Bomb..

 

[perico]

Re:

Wonder if that had happened to Aru, Bardet or Uran if they could've closed down that 50 second gap on the climb ...

If they had a team that strong they could've.

I think you might have accidentally posted that to the wrong forum......

 

[Poursuivant]

No one is dropping Uran this race

 

[DenisMenchov]

Attack on the 4th category climb? :lol:

...but it will enbolden the other GC guys. "If it bleeds, we can kill it" .

 

[Nin1388]

Mollema will win. No cooperation in group behind.

 

[Benotti69]

BMC will be embarrassed not to win this stage.

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

C'mon Bauke

 

[DenisMenchov]

On the bright side, Ag2r might take the lead in the teams classification, they're only 19 minutes down on Sky, they have a man in the breakaway, and 3 more in the malliot jeune group.

Re:

Lotto had 3 very good riders so them too ?


Mollema,Barguil or Gallopin ftw

Pinot or Caruso are fast

Get to the chopper!

 

[perico]

They should put the foot down and eliminate Nairo where he can't come back.

 

[nuvolablu]

It's hard to understand BMC and Lotto tactics...

Isn't it just the teams' three best riders' time from each stage that counts towards the team classification?
