Re: Re:

Mountains classification is gaining in contenders by every pass. The Pyrenees are going to be interesting in several ways.
Beautiful area, but you can never be sure about the weather, it appears.

I missed something but what happened to Mate? Injured in someway. Mr. Breakway De Gendt, King and Mollema closing him on the KOM jersey.

Mate's still on top of the ranks, I think. Might be saving himself for the final week by staying in the bunch these days.

Edit:
And now I see he's experiencing some health problems.

Not sure what their source is but commentators on norwegian tv2 is saying that he is sick.

Re: Re:

Kwiat collarbone?

looked more like a rib

Either way not good for WC.

Unfortunately. Really dissapointing.

 

[Sestriere]

I think Quintana and Pinot are going to be very good today, one of them will win the stage.

He was seen yesterday at the race medical car getting puffs to improve his breathing

More than they have. Maybe if mollema has a great day he can win this with only a bit over two minutes but I think he already wasted too much energy

He said to Danish TV that he feels very bad and that he has bronchitis.

Contador still not over the fact that valverde and purito didn't help him to distance Froome on covadonga in 2014 :lol:

Neat reminder on a great stage. It was an example that it's not just about the legs.

 

[GuyIncognito]

Almost the heaviest guy in the pro peloton, solo on the final climb

Don't see that every day.

I don't think Contador is still bitter about it. After all he won the race while Purito lost his podium spot

 

[Red Rick]

Peloton is thinning very quickly

 

[Rollthedice]

Cortina riding like a man possessed.

 

[Red Rick]

Kelderman rekt

Dare I say I told you so?

 

[Laplaz]

Bye bye Wilco

 

[Vroome.exe]

Wilco "I know i can stay with the best" Kelderman

 

[Rollthedice]

Wilco at the back. His GC ambitions should be over.

 

[Red Rick]

Is that Adam still there?

 

[GuyIncognito]

Re:

Wilco "I know i can stay with the best" Kelderman

He's staying with Viviani

 

[Red Rick]

Gotta give it to Cortina. Brave, brave ride

Re:

His first race since crashing out at the dutch NC, and he was fourth last year. Let's give him a decent preparation before putting him in the grave.

This is strange though. He looked superb last week. Also I don't want to admit you were right
