Yes, Jetse Bol, he is 4:56 down and his group has approx 6 minutes on Froome's group

Re: Re:

I think the fact the stage turned from well controlled affair to one for the breakaway means there's something going on with the train.

You mean Froome not feeling great or confident?

Or maybe they want Bol to take the jersey

I would imagine they wouldn't want to defend all the way to Madrid and this would give them some break from it without potential time losses to other contenders

More like this.

 

[Vasilis]

I really hope Kudus takes this

 

[Vasilis]

I hope it'll be a sprint between Kudus and Gougeard, I think I'd win a bet against Kirby

 

[dgodave]

Go Eritrean guy!

 

[del1962]

Kudus FTW

Re:

Anyone from the break can take the red jersey?

Yes, but they would need to not lose time on the final climb.

M. Kudus Ghebremedhin @ 8:15 is the danger

 

[markene2]

real technical and narrow roads just before the climb, wonder how the peloton will handle those

Not Bol?

 

[Krokro]

This is indeed a weird change of behavior from the bunch, or actually Sky.
Edit: Bol has been dropped and is nowhere to be seen.

 

[burning]

Vino jr. is looking good to win this

 

[markene2]

You can do it Lutsenko!!!!!

No cause he got dropped a while ago, he's supposed to be several minutes back.

 

[rick james]

these roads to the climb are going to be hell for the main group

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Kudos Kudus for the effort!

 

[burning]

Peloton already looks thinned out because of the narrow roads, this might get interesting

Ah, I'm at work reading race reports, I didn't realize he was that far back.

Now I got the answer Failed to find him in the first three groups, and I don't understand Danish commentary.

 

[portugal11]

This climb doesn't look too hard

 

[rick james]

BMC hammering it

 

[Rollthedice]

Sky dissapeared?

 

[burning]

Where is Froome and Sky?

 

[portugal11]

Wtf is tejay doing? He really thinks he can win the red!! This guy is a joke
