Re:

So these crashes of Contador really costed him the GC again.

Begins to look like it. He seems very strong now at least. Perhaps he just mistimed his peak

 

[markene2]

Astana got Zeits, Kozhatayev and Valgren, the two first can keep it up for a bit, especially Zeits if they have saved him, then he will be gold worth

Re: Re:

Looks like Contador may be working for Mollema/Pantano.

Destroy enough of the domestiques so that the two guys up the road won't be chased down.

This is funny. Almost as funny as guarantees that Dumoulin was gonna lose six minutes in last week because Nairo was untouchable on the big mountains.

Well, I guess Dumoulin only lost four minutes in the mountains the end.

Mollema in particular seems on great form though, has barely worked so far, and the descent is perfect for him. Surely he is a better bet than Contador for today.

Contador flying?

 

[wouterkaas]

I was expecting Rolland to be in the front group today. He's riding a very anonymous Tour so far.

 

[deValtos]

Astana suddenly top climbing team again. :lol:

 

[MartinGT]

Should Sky have let the break get a larger advantage this morning?

Just like Pinot. Basically non-existent in this TdF.

Matthews is a monster

I looked wrong

Fake news it was

 

[jsem94]

Contador will catch the escape group soon.

 

[Yingge]

Alberto might not win the stage, or even gain time in the GC, but he is sure as hell going to liven it up, just like he did the last time the Galibier was on the Menu in 2011.

Re:

Gogl will be good in valley

Yup, he can't help Contador at the climb at all, but if he survives it, he will be a tremendous help in the flat.

 

[KyoGrey]

GRAND cycling epic.

Re:

No still cycling. Evolution has not done its work.

Whats the situation in terms of groups and timegaps?

Re:

Being waived past the cars already. He's grabbed them. He can chill until the bottom of the Galibier if he wants then have another go.

Re:

3rd week Astana never ceases to amaze

There's 3 + Aru in a group of 25. Big improvement over last week.

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

so the template for this year's Tour stages is

"supposedly epic mountain followed by 30 km of useless descent that prevents people from attacking and/or neutralizes every advantage gained by climbers"

I mean,If Bardet doesnt' win this tour made exactly for him, he can retire

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

Contador 30-odd seconds behind chase group. They're 90 seconds down on the front two I think, yellow at 4 minutes-ish.
