[Poursuivant]

40 man break

 

[Netserk]

Colbrelli now satellite for a teammate to jump up to?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

No, that is just your way. Have a good day and enjoy the race

I know how I intended it. If you want to read it more personally or patronisingly, then by all means do.

Lol no he's going for both green and polka dot.

The Cav group is small and behind the main grupetto, bad news.

Where is that sourced from - showing as main (only) grupetto on the tour tracker and only 2 mins behind yellow jersey.

 

[Netserk]

Lol no he's going for both green and polka dot.

At least he forces Arkea to pull the group.

 

[BlueRoads]

Lol no he's going for both green and polka dot.

And the stage win today.

I saw them cross the intermediate sprint. At that point they were ~10 riders in the group.

Interesting little statistic on PCS:

The number of riders within 5 minutes of the leader after 8 stages.

This side of Saisies is cat1 and the longer side from last year was Cat2

I guess the "main" gruppetto caught peloton. Cav group is only 15 riders, so it may be very hard, if they don't get more company.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

First Barguil sighting....

The Tour is nothing like as bad as the Giro for this, but there are some strange idiosyncrasies in the GPM recently.

Hell, there are going back many years. In 1974 Mont du Chat was cat.2!!!

The last few years the categorisation have been less consistent than previously.

That's a very strong group. Could push some guys back into top 5 contention here if they gain a bunch of time.

Proving my point.

 

[ppanther92]

Why is Quintana attacking now? Makes no sense since the big group is given enough leeway from UAE.

Are you in France? Cheater!

Yup, good stuff so far. Long way to go on this stage still though.

4 of them are quickstep - presume they are riding to a schedule.

I know

 

[Netserk]

In any case, they can't ride faster than what Cav can tolerate. But good teammates to have in this scenario.

 

[Salvarani]

Colbrelli closes the gap to Quintana and Woods lol

 

[Big Doopie]

Colbrelli pulling everyone back up to mountain goats Quintana and woods.

Bahrain more ridiculousness.

 

[Salvarani]

I know
