Re: Re:

The current conditions on the descent in Collado Bermejo are very poor.

Seems perfectly fine to me.

Re:

I feel like Nibali crashes a fair bit when he attacks on wet descents

He crashed in the Tour last year but he wasn't attacking

BMC seem eager today, TJ & Roche to try something?

 

[klintE]

Hopefully, Nibali has no intention to use voodoo things today. Could be disaster for GC contention.

Still no break. Any one knows which team(s) is leading to prevent any breakaway ?

I don't think wet weather is the best for them...

Thibaut Pinot FTW

So according to the live images there is a second peloton. Wout Poels was in there, who else?

Edit: Meintjes too. Atapuma.

 

[Arredondo]

Meintjes, Poels and Majka in the wrong group

If there is rain the descent can cause carnage

Peloton split - ambush!

 

[bob.a.feet]

Cycling News live commentary says it's 13:05 - which means they are in either Accra or Reykjavik. What's up?

Re:

They caught out the wrong Sky rider though

 

[Eclipse]

Amusingly the break goes clear the second the TV cameras switch on haha

 

[sir fly]

I guess they've been waiting for the live broadcast to treat viewers with the breakaway battle.

 

[Climbing]

Will catch, bio break in the main peloton.

 

[Arredondo]

Trek, Orica and Astana should ride tempo to keep Poels at bay. If they manage to do that, Froome will be isolated early on Collado. Or at least there will be much less Sky-control in the final.

 

[Armchair cyclist]

LottoNL rider just took a right turn that no-one else took. Doing a Dumoulin?

 

[klintE]

El Pozzo in the break to El Pozo

EDIT: mistaken, no Pozzo in the break

 

[Rollthedice]

There are 2 Bahrain guys in the break plus one future comrade, something is cooking

 

[HelloDolly]

Nico Portal talking about rivals riding for the podium !!!!

P.S>. He is always on ES...cant they talk to anyone else in SKY

Agnoli is a great descender. He was able to follow Lastras, Nibali and Sagan in 2011

Re: Re:

He crashed in the Tour last year but he wasn't attacking

Froome crashed in front of him, no way to avoid.

This stage will be boring... really a shame

 

[Jagartrott]

Disappointing break, I think.
I'll never understand why guys that will definitely be blown out the back on the climb try so hard to get in a break like this.
