Watch out for Pinot at the Tour, great victory! Fuglsang fails; 1'14 behind

Re: Re:

E3 winner stays with them who call themselves climbers

Thomas did pretty well in Paris Nice this year too remember..

he finished 1-2 on a climb with Porte

It's still a day/night transformation for the new season considering he is 29 and never shown anything like this.

He was leading Paris-Nice last year too.

Classics parcours though. I'll stop here.

True but the innuendo that he can only do cobbles and everthing else is suspicious is silly. He couldn't even do cobbles until he was 26-27. I repeat what I've said before - he's a second-rate Kwiatkowski with no sprint but better at cobbles. And he just cracked in the final 500m anyway.

Dumoulin ...................................

Nice win by Pinot.

I guess my man Lopez was at his limit and unable to do a damn thing after all. great ride anyways

 

[Amsterhammer]

Astonishing climb by Dumoulin!

 

[classicomano]

Omg Dumoulin beasting the last part of the climb, incredible.

 

[Rollthedice]

Dumoulin in front of Majka.

 

[Escarabajo]

Is that the leader????

Wow!!

 

[MatParker117]

G now favourite?

 

[woodburn]

Dumoulin finsihed ahead of Majka.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Wow Dumoulin could still get a good GC considering the TT to come!

 

[Escarabajo]

Chaves and his poor recovery arrive together!

 

[woodburn]

Dombrowski at about three minutes.

 

[Inquitus]

Thomas does enough to win the GC with that climb?

Lopez is still too young!

Thomas 2nd in GC, 47 sec behind Pinot

 

[b.broadhurst]

Can Thomas put 47 into Pinot in the TT?

I wasn't really thinking cobbles, rather hilly classics. But as I said, I won't keep on here. Cheers.

Dumoulin finsihed ahead of Majka.

There was a shot when he actually dropped him IIRC.

 

[phil-i-am]

Dumoulin to win overall?

Re:

Realistically it's between G and Spilak for the overall. G should at least stay on the podium.

Thinking Spilak for the overall win
