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

[Scott SoCal]

Kelly saying same thing. If you wait till the final climb you wont put any time into Froome, probably lose it too.

So wtf are you doing.

This exactly.

 

[Bakhjulet]

The Skyborgs are coming.

Skyborgs getting tooled by Movieborgs.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Gutierrez gone s bad for Movistar.

 

[Poursuivant]

How far are Sky behind??

 

[RedZone]

Movistar to keep the pace up and eliminate all of sky bar froome.

It's still 85 km though. Movistar wants to kill Porte.

 

[Poursuivant]

ES said gap going out. SKY are not coming back.
Froome has to be really smart now

Believe we could see some action on Louron-Azet. Still a far way to go.

 

[sultanofhyd]

How far are Sky behind??

Agreed, very silly.

Evans is labouring big time.

 

[Cinelli64]

1:20 behind froome group

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Bakelands doing a Schumaker this year?

 

[sjonnie]

How far are Sky behind??

Minute and 20 seconds now

 

[virandociclista]

How far are Sky behind??

There is no more sky, only froome for now....

 

[auscyclefan94]

Which group is TJ in/ how far back is he?

Porte group.

 

[Adam.S]

Wow crazy stage. Someone from movi, saxo or belkin should attack now or maybe valverde will on the descent. Looks hard for team sky to get back, just two at the front and porte dropped back. Should be over for them

 

[Gloin22]

What is Movistar trying to achieve by pulling Froome to the finish so far?

 

[auscyclefan94]

If they don't start drilling it, all of the early effort and isolation of Froome will be for nothing.

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

Shame so many people have said they will not watch cycling this year esp. this Tour because it has got so dull. This stage has some real promise.

 

[sjonnie]

De Gent back on with the 4 leaders.

 

[GroupDK]

moviestar infront need to push the pace some more..

it aint going fast enough to keep the sky-status quo..

 

[maltiv]

What's the point of isolating Froome if they just give him a new train?

 

[The Hitch]

i think the problem is Contador and Valverde's egos. Neither is willing to risk their own placement for the teams success. The ds's should just say - if one of your teammates wins, its still good, and send rui costa and Kreuziger up the road.

You can then attack to them anyway.

 

[Bakhjulet]

85k left, only half of the stage done! This is just crazy.
