Re:

Riding the fastest ever time on Croix de Fer and then being dropped by a former ski jumper seems to crazy.

He went deep on that climb though

Considering Nairo did the giro, they would have been stupid (though admittedly they have been stupid in the past) to make valverde work for him

I cant imagine Piti working for anyone if he thought he had a chance himself.

Re:

I didn't know Robert Millar had had a sex change

Story broke last week, even though the rumours have been kicking about for a while, some of the stories you hear from the local cycling clubs about Robert when he was younger are crazy, very much a lone wolf

 

[Frankschleck]

navarro making comeback, i would love to see him win.

Come on Sky, drop Meintjes

Re:

tell you what, I'm ready to signup for that bloody marathon, the advert has brainwashed me

I fell asleep and fell off my sofa watching the Sky train .. I think I'll phone a claims lawyer

 

[woodburn]

Navarro back so Alberto has a teammate.

 

[deValtos]

It's a shame Thomas crashed out. Could make a longer train if he were here.

For Berto fans, good news favorites won't catch him, bad news he doesn't win the stage.

 

[Forever The Best]

Contador cracked.

 

[MovistarRider]

Come on Pauwels!

So only bad news

 

[Rollthedice]

Kwiatkowki is Wouter PLUS.

 

[dgodave]

Yep.

All tempo.

No attacks.

Makes sense.

 

[jsem94]

Contador dropped by Pauwels?

Re:

...and Poels, Bernal, Nairito, etc

 

[burning]

I definitely can see them not winning the stage, the gap is going down quickly

 

[TomLPC]

Cadel is going to have to chase it down himself I reckon

 

[Jspear]

Re:

Contador cracked.

No he didn't. He looked back, he didn't want to be the only one chasing.

 

[loge1884]

if the guys start attacking now, their chances will surely diminish ....

 

[StryderHells]

Re: Re:

imagine Valverde wouldn't have crashed and would have had to work for Nairo, giving away his own chances .... guess he would have been pretty upset by now .....

Bala doesn't perform well in high altitude climbs

And we haven't gone to those altitudes often in this race, plus looked at the riders who are all grouped together and I think Valverde would of been with them if he had not lost it in Germany.
