[Samamba]

If that's the full group, it's gonna be hard to catch the front group. The French guys needs to step up. Also no Frankiny.

Re: Re:

A quelques kilomètres du sommet du Cormet de Roselend

nous avons 5 coureurs détachés :Michal SCHLEGEL (Rep. Tchèque), Maximilian SCHACHMANN (Allemagne), Lucas HAMILTON (Australie). John RODRIGUEZ SALAZAR et Miguel Eduardo FLOREZ (Colombie)

Le peloton est pointé à 1'00''.

Le maillot jaune à plus de 5'00''.

Colombia putting pressure on USA (and GB), Denz already dropped 50 minutes ago.

Do you have a feed?

Thanks.

So sad that Mas isn't here, he would've had a great team.

And a bit disappointed in the Tao's teammates, where are Davies & Knox?

 

[Samamba]

Au bas de la descente Le Turnier, Madouas et Vincent (France) sont rentrés sur la tête de course !
Peloton pointé à 1'

France is trying something, but Gaudu is still in the Costa/Bernal group. Vincent is a great climber though.

 

[DNP-Old]

Powless gone, Costa all on his own.

 

[Samamba]

Don't think there are more than 10 riders in the 'peloton' if Powless is dropped.

 

[Samamba]

It's going hard. Rodriguez is going for his second win in a row, in the Costa/Bernal group Martinez, Tolhoek, Sivakov, ... are dropped.

 

[Samamba]

Costa/Tao/Bernal group is losing 1'50 to Rodriguez, Schlegel & Hamilton. That's a lot.

 

[Brullnux]

Bernal bike change.

 

[Samamba]

And Costa attacking.

 

[Brullnux]

Sporting.

Re:

Nah, but it's a winner's mentality.

It makes sense too, maybe Costa felt that Bernal could help him in the chase, but with him having to have a bike change he went, so Costa thought it better to go alone. Didn't work as Tao is still with him, 1:45" behind the front trio, who have almost been joined by Ravasi-Gaudu.

 

[Samamba]

Gaudu (what a talent) & Ravasi are gonna be the winners of the day. They have more than a minute on the group Costa (Tao is dropped). The Belgian Vanhoucke is doing impressive stuf too (after winning a stage in the Savoie and almost winning Alsace).

EDIT: Gaudu & Rodriguez in front now. I think Gaudu is gonna win, he was already impressive in the Tour de l'Ain between the pros.

 

[Samamba]

Gaudu solo! I love his style. He's the real deal!

Massive gaps.
Don't think anyone can beat Gaudu if he doesn't have a bad day like in Isard.

DNF and 23 minutes down, respectively.

Yeah, i see. Pretty bad, but Tao wasn't that good either. Same with guys like Frankiny, Powless, Martinez, Narvaez, Carboni, ... who were really disappointing.
