Re:

So nice to see AG2R doing what Movistar should have done for the past couple of years!

To be fair this tour though Movistar can't do really do much. There is 5 Ag2R guy to one Quintana right now. They also have 3 guys up the road to one Betancur. No contest.

 

[bassano]

quintana in ffront group anyway?

How many TDF's this decade has Contador crashed in. 2011 more than once. 2014 obviously, 2016, 2017. I think there was something in 2013. 2015 as well no? Its basically every Tour since he last won it.

 

[Rollthedice]

The peloton is regrouped.

 

[rick james]

steep road for the breakaway

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

AG2R seem to have a basketball player in the front of the YJ group.

 

[Publicus]

Chapeau to AG2R for animating the race

 

[ice&fire]

Majka abandons?

I 2013 he crashed twice. Stage one crash almost took him out of the race. And then on the descent from Col de Manse.

Wow, this is major. Buchmann still in?

Re:

What a shame. Has looked to be in fantastic form recently.
I really though that this Tour would be a great one for him.
Poor Bora, no Sagan or Majka

But that's because AG2R cleverly set up this race situation and moved their pieces into position. AG2R acted instead of reacting like Movistar often does.

 

[deValtos]

So Ag2R going to go suicide themselves on the next descent also?

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Bardet could make quite a nice attack if he drops some sky domestiques uphill and bridges to Domont, Bakelandts etc. on the descent for support in the valley.........

 

[Ruby United]

AG2R should lay off and force Sky to chase Betancur and Vuillermoz
