Leclercq on German eurosport: "situation is perfect now for Meintjes, he has two man up front, his team is chasing, so he will surely attack hard soon, drop them all and win the Tour de France"

Remember when Gallopin helped Thomas a bit and Florecita started crying all day here :lol: :lol:

Pacing Froome when they have no reason to.

The Yellow jersey group's moving slower than I've expected.
Looks ever better for the breakaway group.

Movi should save their energy for betancurs big vuelta push

 

[deValtos]

I doubt Sky really care much about what UAE are doing. I think they want the bonus seconds gone. They were just making sure Contador didn't get a big lead accidentally.

 

[wouterkaas]

I think they waited in the front group because Mollema and Contador were the engine of the group

They are working for Meintjes, not Froome

Kwiatkowski gonna do all of the Telegraphe + first bit of the Galibier, he's not gonna bring that gap down by minutes I think

 

[DanielSong39]

Actually it's a ninja move by UAE if their intention was to slow the peloton down.

No but Contador will probably need clearly over 3 minutes on the foot of the Galibier if he wants to win the stage, considering the pace from the gc contenders will be very high on the galibier and that there is a false flat descent afterwards.

I'm sure he wouldn't get on a fishy bike on television.

 

[rune1107]

Apparently the chain was stuck so he had to change bike

Hmm... in that case it's not looking good
FFS, now I wish the finish was on Galibier
