Tour de France - Stage 9, 168.5km - Saint-Girons / Bagnères-de-Bigorre, July 7th

[DHammer]

This was brilliant move by Movistar.
Froome cant responde to everyone.
We will loose himself somewhere in the stage.

What's Froome doing?

He doesn't know what to do. Confused.

 

[Donkey]

i dont get the criticism of movistar, valverde is riding for his best result at the tour ever and will have plenty of opportunities to attack froome, today and in the coming 2 weeks.

Movistar is Froome's help-team now, this is stupid.

 

[Gloin22]

What happened?

Let Valverde and Froome go, and join the break.

Now they have to chase the 20 ish rider break by themselves.

Plus Contador doesn't look strong imo anyway.

 

[Scott SoCal]

Not at all. Not wi 100km to go.

Then Valverde is far dumber tactically than I ever gave him credit for.

 

[Ruby United]

wTF is kirby on about. He keeps saying that Froome is riding all on his own.

So that's why i'm all confused. Is he with valverde?

 

[zlev11]

seriously, what the hell is Movistar doing? they're just towing Froome around.

 

[saneguy]

Totally confused...what just happened? What is Movistar doing? Where is Froome

He only needs to respond to Valverde from that break though.. all others are not big threat.

 

[maltiv]

Lol even Simon Gerrans is there. Seems like he's a better climber than the rest of Team Sky

 

[LaFlorecita]

He doesn't know what to do. Confused.

Think the froomebot crashed

 

[Cimber]

So dumb of Saxo and Movistar to ride against each other

 

[Yingge]

What's going to happen to all of these attackers when they hit the foot of the Peyresourde?

Stupid by Froome and Sky. Not sure why the're trying to close gaps with 110km to go.

 

[Poursuivant]

Movistar should get Quintana in Froome group, then work him over

 

[Hayabusa]

Contador group bridges across.

 

[sjonnie]

Movistar attack after the group comes back together but Froome decides to stick with Contador this time and let his Saxo boys bring it back together again.

 

[thehog]

What's going to happen to all of these attackers when they hit the foot of the Peyresourde?

That's the idea. They're trying to kill Froome and Sky before the climb.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Ok Valverde, Froome caught now

 

[Forunculo]

Unzue letting Froome escape alive

 

[Scott SoCal]

He doesn't know what to do. Confused.

He's getting towed from a rival team. Expect one of the Movi's to give him a wheel if he needs it.

 

[Red Rick]

Valverde should get Froome a restraining order

 

[Sophistic82]

Movistar is Froome's help-team now, this is stupid.

they are riding against saxo and belkin, it isnt like valverde has won the tour several times and 2nd place would be a step back, distancing conti would cement his 2nd place and still gives him the chance to attack the yellow jersey.

 

[ILovecycling]

Peyresourde will be interesting,maybe Froome will attack by himself

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Now **** Mollema
