Voeckler isn't the rider he once was

 

[Afrank]

Skyborgs said they wouldn't give Quintana any room, I said they won't have a choice in how much they give him. Called it.

 

[TommyPlus]

Too early for a lightweight guy surely

 

[maltiv]

Quintana "The Skyborg Slayer" will win this easily

 

[Fight.The.Power]

I don't really see the wisdom in Quintana's attack, but ok.

Agreed. Looks too early

 

[cineteq]

Hesjedal gone too.

Talansky is the only GC hope for Garmin

 

[Gloin22]

Voeckler isn't the rider he once was

Yes. As riders age, that is usually the trend.



Still good enough to win a stage from break though.

 

[Marcus135]

Impy will not give up! What a legend.

 

[thrawn]

Top effort from Impey to hang on this long.

 

[Publicus]

Love this from Quitana. Valverde may rue sending him off (he may not get his leadership back)

 

[Cyivel]

Bye Bye Bobby.

 

[sultanofhyd]

Voeckler isn't the rider he once was

Voeckler at his best would be dropped like stone by a decent climber.

 

[uconnryan]

Quintana says bye bye Gesink

 

[icefire]

The Nazgûl chasing the Hobbit

 

[rainman]

WTF is Sherwin on about. The TDF has now begun.

 

[darwin553]

Quintana is John Connor

So is he our saviour from Froome's likely TDF win?









I think not. He is just another solider in the line of Froome's fire.

 

[roundabout]

No 5k for Riblon at this rate.

 

[Cimber]

Its a good move. He is a great descender

 

[The Hitch]

Voeckler at his best would be dropped like stone by a decent climber.

PDB, and Galibier 2011 say otherwise.

 

[gthx_gthx_]

Quintana is flying , that's a pure climber.

 

[xrayvision]

Nairo in yellow.

 

[Ramira]

Sky has only 2 guys left. No way Porte will already work.

I think it's a smart attack, and you've a descend so perfect.

Yup that's pretty much it. They're trying to break the Sky train. They tested this in the Dauphine and saw it could work. No guarantee for success but they will prevent Sky from controlling everything.

Behind the yellow jersey now. I rest my case.

 

[perico]

Talansky is the only GC hope for Garmin

Mehh... Danielson could be good for a top 15, maybe top 10.

He needs to shut up. No need for this verbal diarrhea at this point.
