[woodburn]

Astana has a lot to learn - Lance

 

[webvan]

So thanks to the Astana idiots Froome gets a 4" bonus, well done guys!

 

[el chava]

Tissot fail. Let's have Festina back

 

[rick james]

If froome didn't do all the pulling on the flat he would have won that sprint

 

[hoolaparara]

Wow, I know what I don't want to see ever in cycling, Aru and Latour Putting in 100% effort next to each other.

 

[DanielSong39]

And Richie Porte is out as well. Double yuck...

Re:

wasn't Uran stuck with his shifting???

Yes, the guy managed it masterfully.

Like he's gonna need those four seconds

 

[Akuryo]

Well, Martin only lost a minute. I still think podium is possible for him if he is not hurt.

 

[Alexandre B.]

Astana, I so hate you.

You gained nothing on Froome after this stage, you're already racing for second place.

Uran's gone back in time with his performance today. In fact, I don't think he was ever this good on such steep climbs. Great performance.

Re: Re:

Was this one of the greatest tour stages ever??

For people following cycling since July 2012 not even close

Correct.
Nothing can beat Wiggins TT'ing to victory :lol:

 

[MikeTichondrius]

Barguil *was* in front of Uran just before the finish. But the bike throw was mistimed! Incredible.

Winner of the day: Dan Martin!
Losers of the day: Froome and his fanboys on this board.

I think that Rigo putting himself on the board was the biggest winner

 

[DFA123]

Landa omniously looming in the top 10 GC. Sky using him well, he could be on for a top 5 overall here.

Re: Re:

The most amazing thing today is that El Pistolero has not been banned for trolling yet. How much more can you try? :lol:

When will you get banned for baiting?

You guys are hypocrites. You insult Aru for not waiting, but don't do the same when Froome waits for no one (he never does).

And trolling.

Everytime i come to this forum, gloin is having some kind of personal attack on posters and deliberately provoking, yet the second anyone says anything he doesn't like, he goes crying to the mods.

Like a cycling SJW

You guys are being completely unreasonable.

Martin had terrible luck, hope he's not hurt, but how could Froome have possible stopped there when there are others further up the road, and what would that have accomplished?

Only Barguil was further up on the road then.

Oh and did Froome wait for Nibali when he had a flat tire at the base of Alpe D'huez in 2015? Did Nibali whine about it to the media? Answer is two times no.

Exactly. In fact, he was going so fast compared to Uran that he would have won had he not thrown his bike.

I hate any idea of waiting in any circumstances. What a nonsense.

Actually they did well not to lose more ground. I'm sure Quintana, Martin, Contador, and Porte would have liked to have lost just the four bonus seconds.

The Tour will not be decided by four seconds.

Unbelievable for Aru and Fungsang taking turns for Froome.
Most stupid thing....

Same to you man, same to you. Constantly bitching. Check yourself in mirror. Where do I attack posters? :lol: :lol:

Pointing out blatant trolling is attacking now. Good to know Hitch, noted :lol:

You still bitter when I said Contador should retire or hes not gonna make the podium? Which one was it?

Yep, one of the positives of the day for sure (apart from it being a really entertaining stage of course). There had been promising signs all year, but I didn't expect him to be this good.

Chapeau Dan Martin, ride of the day
