[luckyboy]

FroomeDawg dropping

 

[ferryman]

Gap already. Froome out of it!

 

[Aristarchus]

Froome out the back with Gesink.

 

[Pulpstar]

Saxo have lost a man for sure there. It is going to be a long long ride for him up the mountain now.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Contador does not look super again. Who knows though.

 

[meat puppet]

hats off to majka, hope he develops into a contender himself.

 

[ggusta]

I think Contador just asked them to up the pace.

EDIT: JRod looks cool as a fan.

It looked like he wanted to crack a whip over their heads.

 

[luckyboy]

Wow that group fell apart in a second

 

[Jelantik]

hoaaahh.. the waiting game... is killing me!!!!!!

 

[MartinGT]

Has the Dawg dropped?

 

[Publicus]

Either JRod has the best poker face or he's not in trouble at all.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Purito looks good. No problems. Valverde also good.

Pires is a workhorse today.

 

[No_Balls]

And off he go!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Contador fires his first attack..but to no avail

 

[Cyivel]

It begins

 

[GroupDK]

cadeau for saxo,

c´ mon alberto finish it

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

The battle begins now.

 

[Publicus]

Also, Quitana is going to be a star.

 

[Parrulo]

Purito looks good. No problems. Valverde also good.

Pires is a workhorse today.

wasn't it hernandez?

contador goes but is only setting a high tempo. i think that's the way to imo

 

[webvan]

19th attack from Bertie apparently !

Froome teaming with the Rabos, not too bad.

 

[hfer07]

Mi man Quintana hanging with the best!!

 

[goggalor]

That wasn't Contador's best attack ever. He should try riding tempo.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Quintana is better than Valverde

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Valverde looks iffy....

 

[Publicus]

Contador fires his first attack..but to no avail

I think he's upping the pace, but not trying to blast away yet.
