I'm becoming a Movistar fan, while just a few years ago I was calling them Vomistar.Valv.Piti said:VAMOS SOLER

HelloDolly said:Movistar playing = very good
Ineos not so much
FDJ also dropped
He has a stage win in mind.staubsauger said:Seriously, is Bardet meshuga? He knows he needs to win the mountain prizes, is among the best climbers in the group, even has a decent kick to jump away and waits for the final meters to lose out in the sprint!
Trying the peloton out. Turns out no on who really mattered dropped. Maybe Landa got cold feet as well.Gigs_98 said:What on earth was movistar doing?

Martinstranger said:Finally - this year rides seem willing to invest for the glory of winning. I hope they all will stop racing for 2-3-4 or 5 place.
Fantastic racing by Movistar - at least they are trying to go for the win and I have the outmost respect for that!
I hope Pinot is on it and ready to try for the victory. He will be a big hero in France if he suceeds.

The appeal system times out a 11am. All the riders are now riding through the neutral zone prior to the start. Would the 2 riders start the race until timed out of the appeal and then climb off if unsuccessfull or would they have already been told that before the race start. Be funny if the appeal was successful and they had an hour to make up during the race. :lol: Seems odd that the appeal time finishes after start time.
They're 1 hour ahead in France if you are in UK.
