Re:

is there a minimum amount of riders a team is allowed?

No, but if there's less than three the teams gets removed from teams' classification.

Is it just me or is Mollema not in the AC group?

Edit: He was just getting bottles

Re: Re:

Contador on a long range attack in the Alps, he must be terrified of Sammy Sanchez and Rolland catching him at the end.

2011 on the Alpe!!! That was a great stage to watch

Bit of an anticlimax though.

Andy Frank and Cadel held hands all the way up the Alpe.
Cadel I undersrtand why but Andy and Frank were idiots and lost the tour.

Maybe if Cadel hadn't punctured after Contador dropped him the 4 would have stayed away it could have been a GOAT stage

Andy was running on fumes after his efforts on Galibier and the solo effort the day before. Understandable. But Frank was outright disappointing that day, I agree

The way to beat Sky is by creating chaos, not by falling in line.

You can't beat the team anyway (with Kwiatek, Nieve, Landa). But Froome is beatable.

 

[perico]

Wow Contador's time up the Croix de fer.

The way to beat Sky is by going back in time to July 16th.

I wasn't talking about the GC fight but more that the race was on as soon as they hit the Télégraphe and we had action for the rest of the stage. I couldn't care less about time gaps with the GC.

So that's why Quintana couldn't follow.

 

[DenisMenchov]

Kittel abandon!

 

[rune1107]

Kittel abandon

 

[Forever The Best]

Kittel DNF

 

[sir fly]

Awful news.
So sorry for Kittel.

 

[staubsauger]

[RattaKuningas]

Didn't expect Kittel to abandon.

It was on, but then it neutralised after a point as it became obvious everything would come back before alpe

 

[Eagle]

Kittel abandon, disappointing

 

[Winnen]

abandon Kittel!

 

[wouterkaas]

That's a big blow to this TDF: Kittel out. I was looking forward to the battle for green in the last week.

 

[MartinGT]

Ouch, unlucky Kittel

 

[Nin1388]

Kittel abandon
