Re: Re:

Talk is cheap. I'm curious to see how things go for Froome with Contador at his best. I hope we get the confrontation, if not here, then down the road.

you mean on this stage or this season as a whole? i think the chance of froome being able to keep up with contador today is minimal

With Froome , you never know. He may smash everyone

On some stages he seems to be struggling and then he beats everyone. Froome is very unpredictable

He only beats everyone like that, when the others are not really good. I think Contador is too good now for Froome to yo-yo and then launch a decisive attack. If he drops off, he's done. This isn't 2015.

in 2015 froome was never yo-yoing to make a decisive move. i see what you mean who whom winning you'd like to see, though.

Yeah it's live. I'm watching here: http://live.shwidget.com/static/freematches/3626321634376640.html but it's really more like listening to it, as most of the screened is obscured by a box saying I can't access the content.

i'm using this, but it's in french and you have to wait for 30 sec to close the ads. try to hit the grey one cause the other opens some f***d up sh***. then you can close the other too. good luck !

Apart from this, I simply call it as I see it. If I thought AC was too weak, I'd say so. This year he's at a higher level, which is Froome's problem, not mine.

I think Contador is too strong right now, but, like others, nothing Froome could do today would surprise me. I think he could yo yo back on Contador even if Contador is supremely strong, as Contador like to attack in bursts and wear people down by breaking their rhythm. He usually only goes all out on sustained attacks out of desperation, not when he's locked in a tight battle. I see him closing down attacks, throwing in some quick ones to thin out the field (or ride the Sky train, which will do the same), then kicking away in the last couple km for the win.

Alas, he's not as explosive as he used to be.

That's not because of high peak wattage, that's because of great recovery after an attack way of such an effort during a climb

De Gent is alone!

 

[CheckMyPecs]

40 km to go with Thomas alone at the front.

 

[Taxus4a]

No good this pace of the group, it is looks than SKY protect Thomas.

Re:

Is he? The pictures I'm watching have him and Erviti together, with Weening about to join them (38 km to go).

Re:

I see the live and at the front are De Gent, Weening and Erviti.

Where is Phil? Tsatevich pushed him down the ravine?

Re:

Good idea to use Thomas now. He didn't look as strong yesterday.
