Le Baroudeur said:Pretty sure it was Valverde that dragged the alien to the front group...
Saxo are protecting their leader and building for week three, while throwing jabs at sky in the process. Nothing wrong with that.

in the end this stage delivered just what it was supposed to. Either a breakaway win or a 30-men sprint.Libertine Seguros said:As it was, this stage promised much, but hasn't delivered enough.

Libertine Seguros said:If Froome hadn't gone with Valverde he'd have made it to the group thanks to Rogers, Roche and Kreuziger anyway as Valverde dropped the Saxo guys.
The real problem here was that nobody had the cojones to go on Azet, and when they got to Ancizan they were happy to sit behind Plaza until he burst, but he was running on empty for a while before that which meant that while Froome could get into a rhythm and have a bit of recuperation before Quintana commenced hostilities.
As it was, this stage promised much, but hasn't delivered enough.

Ferminal said:Pretty much exactly what I expected to happen in preview, the only difference being Porte and Kennaugh getting dropped made the fast start entertaining for half an hour more than it probably would have been otherwise.
