Mitchelton has been naive in the way they've tried to infiltrate breaks - With Bora chasing green jersey points, you need to be patient and play off Bora - Get in the break after the intermediate battle or observe closely if Bora don't have the firepower, then you fire up the road.

The GC teams are saving it for tomorrow.
Chris Anker said earlier in the commentary, that he believes Col de la Loze is arguably the toughest mountain in the history of the Tour, and that is from a former climber.

Absolutely true. If two teams of big lumps are predictably going to be knocking seven shades of *** out of each other for the first hour, the smart thing to do is to use that as a launchpad not waste your energy trying to ride away from them.

They should make it illegal, somehow, I dont know how though. But commentators are just noticing it and feels its the most natural thing in the worlds. Its such a stupid thing to do, it really hampers the racing and since Prudhomme in theory should be all about exciting racing, thats something he should look into, no? Or is it such a big part of the sport that its impossible at this point?

Always some hyperbole and him being a climber doesnt mean dogshit IMO
I think a climb like Portet is at least as hard, most likely harder. 2018. Thing about Loze is only the 5-6 kms are hard.

Your anger management issues are not my concern.

Obviously Chris Anker Sorensen knows more than anyone on this forum but the profile does look easier than Portet.Your anger management issues are not my concern.

I have absolutely no issues with anger or whatever, but I have yet to meet such an arrogant, know-it-all and just flat out annoying person on an online forum. And do you really need to post these stupid emojis after your every god damn post? Holy *** bro...Your anger management issues are not by concern.

Vaughters set up can be a great situation for a certain type of rider- Rolland was not that type of rider.

Dude, I am merely relaying what he said, that's all.
Fact's are:
He is a former World Tour climber, who rode as a mountain dom for the Schlecks and Contador.
He rode the climb yesterday.
He said, live on TV, that he thinks it's the toughest climb the Tour has ever seen.
The contrary position:
Random dude on an Internet forum, who looked at a stage profile online, and says Chris Ankers experience is "dogshit".
I don't understand why this is even a debate

It depends how they ride the cat. 1
If some of the heavier guys make it across the top of that, the final climb is a Cauberg type thing (albeit a little longer), that they can win on.
The lighter guys will have to force a selection on the cat. 1.
