[rick james]

Froome should work with bertie

 

[Valv.Piti]

I knew it, TJ. Ffs!

Re: Re:

Alberto Contador, King of Kings, Master of Masters will decide who wins and loses this race.

nearly as good as

Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, and Mother of Dragons

It's blasphemous to compare Contador to Daenerys.

Re:

Problem for Alberto and Froome is the fairly large chase group that was less than 30s back.

Nah at most was 15 secs.

Re: Re:

Kirby thinking Hansen was one of the ones who fell in the favourite group? :|

Jesper Hansen did crash

Obviously. But he talked about him as if he was involved in the crash in Froomes group.

 

[rick james]

Some said it earlier in the thread, but that hill should have been closer to he finish

 

[StryderHells]

Re:

He can't catch a break, I think he would fade in the 3rd week anyway but that was just bad luck

 

[Eclipse]

A lot of effort spent for 15s

chase group should really peg this back comfortably unless they get weird about working

 

[Pricey_sky]

Once again it appears the descent is going to stop losses for Aru, Nibali and co

It's just under 20 seconds according to gps

Honestly, TJ cannot catch a break. He's finally on great form, following Froome and he crashes.

Ah fair enough! We don't get Kirby on the Australia coverage

Think it was 15 over the top and I'm more confident in timings at the summit than trusting GPS on the descent when bikes are all over the place

 

[Climbing]

Can't stop the guy descending.

Great stage so far. Pantano really has to earn his salary now though.

 

[sir fly]

Pantano should lead the group until the road flattens.

 

[rick james]

froome no teammates?

When doesn't he!

Jesper Hansen did crash

I think him and Domont had already crashed in the same corner as TJ and Betancur. On the re-play you could see Domont at the edge of the screen.
Bit strange, though, that they focused on a random helper rather than the guy who was second in the GC.

Love Vuelta!!
Love Alberto!!

Nope! The choo choo train ran out of steam

Re: Re:

Think Poels is in the Chaves group

 

[rick james]

Froome never had a bigger train in front of him
