Re:

Nibali is still there and looking fresh.

he is out now

Good to use Anacona and even Carapaz now and Amador later if he is able to survive.

Amador would be more useful on the softer gradients.

Oops

 

[Velolover2]

QUINTANA ATTACKS!

 

[Flamin]

Now Nairito goes

 

[Valv.Piti]

Nice

 

[Lexman]

Quintana !

 

[Flamin]

Bennett, Kruijswijk and Quintana with a small gap. Mitchelton obviously not caring much.

 

[Rollthedice]

Nairo quickly found two wheels to follow.

What's up with that Quintana attack?

 

[Eclipse]

Really good situation for Valverde

 

[Velolover2]

Come on Nairo! Help him!

 

[glassmoon]

pathetic quintana

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Way too early, lots of climb where you want to be drafting here

 

[Rollthedice]

They are going nowhere.

 

[GuyIncognito]

It's not about gaining a gap, for Quintana. It's about burning up Yates' domestiques on a climb where the draft is important

 

[Velolover2]

Quintana is riding cowardly. The steep part is almost over.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Good tactics from Movistar here

What on earth did nairo expect? That MS would just let him go?

That would defeat Movistar's tactics. They want MS to chase, as they're doing.

 

[Velolover2]

Nairo taking a micro-pull. Should have helped Steven long time ago to make the break stay.

 

[Eclipse]

Nairo literally can't win with people. Go at 12k out and people complain that not only are you going too early but also that when 2 riders from one team jump on your immediately that you aren't the one towing them lol. All despite clearly riding for Valverde (barring accidentally being let go for a couple of mins)
