A Gentleman like Froome(your words) doesn't make it, what's happened :lol:

He was taken a few picks after I got Armstrong. If he had been there for pick 19 I would have taken him (over Chicken)

 

[MartinGT]

Kittel 40s back!

 

[Arredondo]

You just knew it could be an interesting stage.

Actually, it has the potential to be absolutely epic!

 

[Samamba]

I think Greipel survived. I see a lot of teammates in the Kittel group, but not Greipel. Not sure though.

 

[rick james]

Glad I got my cycle out the way early this morning

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Yeah but 40s isn't much off the back of the peloton really

 

[Nin1388]

Gap almost 1 min to Kittel group which has Bouhanni and Groenewegen. Once they get to 2nd and 3rd climb gap will rise again.
BMC, Sunweb and DD riding in peleton.

 

[Alexandre B.]

Bennett is announced distanced.

 

[Nin1388]

Bennett also caught. Tough luck.

Re:

Kittel dropped already. Matthews' group should breach soon. Then ride like hell.

You have sastre, andy and nibali and not contador?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Chavanel moment!

Zabel has just won the mountains classification.

 

[Eagle]

Kittel blown, still in the group

 

[rick james]

Kittel a mess

 

[MartinGT]

Kittel dropped from his own group!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Kittel sKittled

 

[tomorrow]

Kittel absolutely cooked. He will be glad if he comes inside the limit today.Even if he wasn't disqualified, they would take some sprint points for sure.

Yeah, confirmed! His train is gone though. Only Benoot, Gallopin and De Gendt left and they all 3 attacked.

 

[Samamba]

Bennet must be ill or something?

 

[ontheroad]

Why are Quickstep riding in the group behind wasting energy over a very outside chance of getting points in an intermediate sprint especially given there is another climb for Kittel to get over. Bizarre.

Great quality but too many egos I reckon. Porte will happily bow down, and Schleck might too, but Nibali and Quintana and Rasmussen will happier force Armstrong to go cross country again than work for him.

Better unity on team "Les Forçats de la Route"

Kittel is such a one tricky pony. What a farce would be seeing kittel win the green jersey

What are they going to save energy for? Might as well try to get back on

Yes.
