[HelloDolly]

A conceit by Contador today ....Molloma could have won that stage ...but I guess we have to have a 'great' show

Barguil is top 10 by accident

Great win by Roglic.

 

[loge1884]

battle of the underdogs:
Mr. Invisible Meintjes gains 1:30 on the white jersey .... guess 2:28 should be enough for Yates though ....

Re: Re:

Bardet losing time to Uran and Froome. Sad.

He lost the race in stage 15.

No. Froome is stronger, have to accept it.

Of course but he is not invincibile ad he was. Stage 15 was the only chance to try something.
Now it's over and tomorrow he'll go for the stage.

Re:

I think the same. Mollema was surely the stronger card to play once he had made it into the break, but had to waste himself for a move that had very little chance of working.

Not by accident!

He has been superb!!

Re: Re:

It's quite a weak Tour in terms of calibre. Probably weakest since 2008? Or 2012 actually, outside of the top three

It's not weak, this is modern cycling, get used to it.

It's the modern Tour de France, at least

 

[movingtarget]

Great win for Roglic. Kittel goes home. Yates could be in more trouble tomorrow. Can Uran rediscover his old TT form ?

 

[Gigs_98]

Re: Re:

Another top 10 for Contador. He's gonna win the most top-10 without a win competition.

At this rate, it looks like Froome will, unless he can salvage a stage tomorrow or, more likely, on the TT.

Aren't you maybe forgetting a small win he could get on Sunday?

Re:

I dont think Bardet will be on the podium in Paris

On which basis?

Re:

That was bound to happen with how Sunwebb is riding this year.

Re:

without the work Molloma did the breakaway wouldn't have gotten the time needed for one of them to win

Just think he will lose the spot to the other contenders in the TT, hope im wrong, i like Bardet

Re: Tour de France 2017 Stage 17: La Mure > Serre-Chevalier

I wonder how would Kwiatko do being in another team. He is so amazing this tour.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

LottoNL have a realistic chance of winning 4 of the final 5 stages.

 

[IndianCyclist]

Bardet has won a stage
Aru has won a stage
But Froome has not won any but he is going to win the GC. Very clear Objective from the start

Purely by winning the stage tomorrow, Bardet would reduce his deficit on Froome by at least 4 seconds. And with all the mechanicals Froome's had in this Tour, the TT can't be a foregone conclusion...

 

[webvan]

Yeah Roglic can say thanks to Mollema !

I wonder if Uran can find his ITT legs in Marseille, could there be a spectacular upset ?

Re:

While every idiot TV commentator was talking about the KOM jersey he had won ages ago, he was after top 10 as soon as Caruso and Quintana were dropped.

What's that Landa's drinking?
Beer?

Re: Re:

Dropped by a handful of seconds tomorrow, loosing a lot more in the ITT? It's a possibility, no?

 

[DFA123]

What a disastrous race this is. Kittel, Valverde, Sagan, Demare, Majka, Gilbert, Cavendish, Izagirre, Porte, Gesink, Pinot and Thomas all crashing out or DQs. Contador, Quintana and Chaves all physically in pieces.

So we're left with a bunch of crap sprinters and a load of 2nd tier GC riders who seem content to battle amongst themselves for 2nd place. All of this taking place on a terrible route.

This is right down there with the 2012 edition.

 

[huangho]

So tomorrow Aru has to attack, it's now or never and the profile suits better to him...

But I have a strange feeling about Uran's shape, he can have something left in the tank for tomorrow.

Uran ? I doubt it..
