Tour de France - Stage 8, 195km - Castres / Ax 3 Domaines, July 6th

[Ramira]

This is getting quite interesting. If he can take a minute or more on the top that could well be 1:30 starting the final ascent. And considering he's riding against Kyrienka at the moment I doubt he's wasting that much energy to do it, seems to me he's just riding on pure class not effort.

 

[petiagos]

Rolland in the front ... of course

 

[perico]

Shades of Lucho

 

[Jelantik]

oh my.. quintana looks like he is riding on the flats!... such ease... o my.. sky got their hand full now. GO QUINTANAAAAAA.....

 

[woodburn]

Rest of favorites comfortable? Schleck?

 

[hfer07]

now Rolland...... Sky Alert-Sky Alert-Sky Alert-Sky Alert

Belkin should seriously consider revoking gesink's contract. He is useless as a GC contender.

 

[Ramira]

Why are sky letting this go?

Because in order to catch him up they would have to sacrifice both Kyrienka and Kennaugh, isolating Porte and Froome by the time they reach the summit. They don't see Quintana as enough of a threat to risk being weak to attacks from the likes of Contador.

 

[Ferminal]

Lmao at that hand wave by Quintana. "Get behind me if you want."

As good as Contador Fedaia 2011?

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Reminds me of a young contador...

Good Point. Well Made!

 

[perico]

Rest of favorites comfortable? Schleck?

Million dollar question there. Where is the Schlecklet...

He's not here as GC leader though.

 

[Kris13]

Still Kiryienka

 

[all_in]

Anton goes!

 

[The Blues]

Great racing at the moment!

 

[Eshnar]

GPS couldn't handle the awesomeness of Quintana.

 

[Red Rick]

Quintani sush a boss

 

[perico]

He's not here as GC leader though.

But is he paid as one?

 

[bangnz]

wow Quintana is gaining time quite fast now..

 

[the sceptic]

This tour is already much better than last year

Said that for years now.

 

[meat puppet]

Still Kiryienka

guess they want 3 for the final climb?

 

[Broth3r]

I don't think I've seen Rui and Piti move an inch the whole climb.

 

[cineteq]

Why are sky letting this go?

Because they're bluffing, they've been exposed.

I love the way you said it with so much certainty..

Brailsford said quintana will be seen as big of a threat as Contadtor to sky at the Tour
