Could be carnage at the last corner!!

 

[Cyivel]

Small main bunch

 

[willbick]

Ciolek!!!!! That was grippy

 

[Cyivel]

Ciolek wins, enjoyable stage.

 

[trevim]

Wow Ciolek

 

[Pricey_sky]

Great ride from Ciolek, that was a tough stage.

 

[The Hitch]

Didnt cav attack in the Grand Bornand stage of the Tour this year. Got in the break anyway.

Also I think he did the same in the giro 2012 on some hill stage.

 

[Cyivel]

Yeah him, Kwiatkowski and some other QPQS brer went on the descent iirc.

 

[theyoungest]

That was quite the final k from Ciolek.

For whom were Sky riding exactly? Sir Wiggo?

obviously, the poster didn't realize that cav does attack. the ref to 1853 was obnoxious though/

 

[Ferminal]

Funny field where the top riders are either steady climbers or sprinters. Ciolek was great though, like Quebec a couple of years ago.

 

[willbick]

I think sky are so used to riding on the front they do it whatever the race situation!

Yep, they didn't want anyone to gain time today. Wiggins was never going to win today but this race is often decided by seconds.

I thought it was worse than obnoxious. I found it positively offensive

 

[Cyivel]

Simon Yates in 4th

Simon Yates in 4th

isnt he the new kid in town who is pipped to take GTs in the future?

 

[willbick]

Quintana has already done more here than Froome did in US pro challenge!

 

[Cyivel]

His brother was the one that finished higher in Tour de l'Avenir recently but I'd be lying if I professed to have any expertise as to what they will do in the future.

Kirby might know...he knows some stuff about tour de lane

 

[willbick]

Ciolek has won the coverted golden sheep!

Kirby knows a lot. But i didn't know that the kid rides for team sky in france.

Ciolek is one of the most underrated sprinters from the HTC stable.

I think Simon is a very good all rounder, whereas his brother is a better climber but not as well rounded.

 

[maltiv]

I think Simon is a very good all rounder, whereas his brother is a better climber but not as well rounded.

Being identical twins they have the exact same genes, so one should think that they have approximately the same qualities, with potential differences possibly coming from weight (most likely) or training program (I assume they train together?).

 

[Grupetto1]

Adam Yates didnt get asked to join the GB academy so hasn't done the track/sprint work that Adam has as a result
