Re: Re:

When are the other GC contenders gonna attack?

One kilometer from the top of the Izoard

And then claim that they did everything to win.

 

[wouterkaas]

No surprise, because he was apparently ill as well: Daniel McLay abandons

This is pretty dull. Why have AG2R and Astana not done anything to mess with Sky's train earlier in the day?

Re:

If and when they get the word that Froome has cracked (as opposed to a yo-yo).

Translation: never.

Re: Re:

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

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.

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

He will have 4 minutes, this one is for Berto.

Oh how I wish Contador keeps gaining time.

Astana has nothing; let's not blame them.

 

[bob.a.feet]

UAD setting a weak pace:
1. Benefits Contador (the man they're trying to catch)
2. Benefits Sky
3. Negatively affects Aru (their leader next year)

Great job guys

AG2R could of tried something but not Astana, they simply don't have the team to cause any trouble to Sky

 

[Ikbengodniet]

Wow Mollema is really pushing it hard here.

 

[Eclipse]

Quality bit of self-burial from Bauke today

 

[sir fly]

Can't help noticing similarity to the Peyragude stage.

 

[Red Rick]

GPS going more crazy than Froome in that last DL stage

 

[fauniera]

5 minutes suddenly?

 

[rick james]

Mollema putting some hurt on

 

[Vasilis]

Haha gap supposedly going out from 3 to 5 minutes in a minute.

 

[staubsauger]

Fuglsang really is badly missed today. Sitting 4th or 5th on gc he would've desperately attacked 5 times while Froome always would've been forced to react just for Aru to move away in the end.

 

[MovistarRider]

Mollema with one hell of a demolition job

 

[DNP-Old]

Contador is going to win the Tour looking at the GPS.

One kilometer from the top of the Izoard

:lol:

 

[Rollthedice]

5 minutes? Contador for the podium.

Well, you are seeing the answer on the screen.

 

[Forever The Best]

Lol GPS went full *** :lol:

Re: Re:

suppose the showman had to do something to keep the glory hunter fans happy

Still bitter about Formigal? :lol:

not at all, I'm just glad bertie fans get to see him dance one last time at Le tour

Can't pass up a chance to pee on the parade. Just sad.

Re: Re:

Yates very far back

That's usually how he rides.

He/they are the Cummings of the GC group.
