Re:

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

I don't think any of the GC contenders care about him

Hes clearly regressing in form

 

[Arredondo]

With Valverde and a really good Contador, they would have profited from that mechanical.

But Bardet, Uran and Aru don't have the same racing mentality. Serving the Tour-victory on Chris Froome's his plate, really. Quite sad to see.

The most dangerous man in the race.

 

[jsem94]

Quintana may not be as strong, but he has morale. He's hoping he can come good in the Alps, but probably not, but he won't give up even if he's not at his best. Respect.

Nairo is cooked. He won't be a factor in this tour (for the podium of course)

Re: Re:

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.

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

It is, but Sky only has 2 in the maillot jeune group.

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

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

I think you might have accidentally thought that was witty.

Yeah, but then it doesn't matter that there are three Ag2r riders in the GC-group. The Ag2r rider in front would have to beat the 3rd best Sky-rider by 19 minutes.

Valverde?! :lol:
Only contador and nibali would have profited.

 

[jsem94]

Damn Mollema is strong today.

Re:

No one is dropping Uran this race

Let's hope he attacks some day.

Don't think its happening anyway

 

[Sestriere]

Don't get why anyone is chasing. They should attack Froome one after another and try to form a group without him. He's almost isolated. That doesn't happen too often.

Frosty(Nieve) is with Nairo...8 minutes down on the leaders

Re:

Yes, but he won't win the race by following wheels. He looks incredibly strong, i really don't get why he didn't attack there.

 

[IndianCyclist]

Mollema will win this

They are simply riding against Quintana at this point.

 

[bob.a.feet]

The favourites should have taken pulls themselves instead of hoping that AG2R domestiques would go faster than Froome.

nobody questions that. But he hasn't won it yet.

 

[jsem94]

Any lip readers can interpret what Froome just said to Landa?

Probably the one who is to blame least...

Barguil is in some form!!!

Not pulling too hard if riders are getting back into that group.

Mollema stronk
