I hope Valverde will get a stage win,at least something u know...

 

[TANK91]

ahh jesus more freaking ads at a time like this fk ITV

Tell me about it, why don't they show 2 or 3 every 10 minutes and then leave it on for the rest, Yday after having to really quick breaks on the HC climb and 1 on thedescend, you would think AX-3 would be shown in ull but no ITV decide to go or break with 6kms to go absoloute joke. Do Eurosport have less adverts anyone? As I only watch it on ITV4 because I don't have Eurosport and its better than putting a stream on. Come on Gesink you legend

 

[l.Harm]

Well Gesink is actually gaining time

Consistent with the observation it's his climbing that has declined since he broke his leg.

 

[Scott SoCal]

You gotta be kidding....

 

[Descender]

Too bad he has a ball- less leader.

Rui Costa has two leaders, but that wouldn't matter, since he doesn't know what the word leader means. Unless he is the leader, of course.

 

[Escarabajo]

I'm half-expecting Froomie to get on the Movistar bus at the end of this.

LOL.

Made my day!!

 

[Aditya]

How good are Mollema and Ten Dam in the TT's?

Follow the yellow helmets

I hope he doesn't, otherwise everyone will think Movistar had a good strategy.

 

[Ferminal]

Sucks if Martin doesn't at least survive to have a chance at the win. Garmin the best team performance by far today.

 

[Hugo87]

Gesink ruining the party.

I don't know how many breaks ITV has, but breaks on ES are fairly frequent, but short, and they usually try to avoid them at crucial moments and towards the end of the stage.

 

[GroupDK]

saxo get of the front..

 

[l.Harm]

How good are Mollema and Ten Dam in the TT's?

Ten Dam pretty bad. Mollema average I'd say.

Came out to play today for sure.

 

[saneguy]

Man, I wish Nibali were here...he wouldn't have let this chance slip.

Exactly my thought. He wouldn't have let this chance go. Would have nailed it totally.

What???? Andy attacking on this descent!!!

 

[vcampbell]

Man, I wish Nibali were here...he wouldn't have let this chance slip.

I just hope you understand, that this is not the Giro. The downhill was almost totally straight, not technical where people can create a gap.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Movistar really rides a *** stage.

Find a Eurosport feed, the American/ITV TV program sucks balls. Dutch coverage is the best IMHO, the commentators manage to just shut the f*ck up and watch and they actually say something vaguely intelligent when they chose to open their mouths.

I cant remember as break on ES for about half an hour.

 

[ILovecycling]

Do you still want to "see Bailsford now"?

Do you think he is happy with this stage
I think he is not,his team didnt do a good job,only Froome did...and Porte is out of GC,so if Froome falls or mechanical Sky havent got anyone to grab victory...definitely not a good stage for Sky,it could be worse but still..

This basically.

 

[spalco]

Yeah, I have been wondering about that while writing my previous comment too, but that's what they usually do.

 

[Gubby Allen]

These two have it.
