What the heck was Movistar doing especially yesterday and today. Makes no sense at all.

Re: Re:

I think Quintana would have had a decent shot at the podium if he would have been left to ride his own race in the last couple of days. These stages were way more suited to him than to Valverde.

No.

He lost his chance.

No, he still had a chance. The competition is so weak, Yates aside, that he certainly would have had a chance to gain the 30 seconds or so he would have needed.

Making him lose minutes waiting up for and pacing a clearly cooked Valverde is a terrible decision.

They were trying to win the important team classification

When V was strong, they backed Q.

When Q was strong(er), they backed V.

But ultimately, they had a losing hand, and they lost, so hard to blame tactics.

Kruijswijk needs to close 45 seconds to save his podium now. Not gonna happen.

Odds of Yates winning the stage?

Riding as if they had the legs

Re:

He can overtake Quintana and Pinot,. Maybe even Valverde as well at this rate.

 

[Rollthedice]

Uran attacks, the stage keeps getting weirder.

 

[bambino]

Uran is winning Rigo today

 

[Escarabajo]

Uran remembering the Giro days!!!

Re:

Uran is in the race? I thought that was Woods.

There strategy made no sense pretty much from the start of this race, well from the start of this season and this is just another example of it.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Yates gifting a stage to the duo upfront.

 

[Red Rick]

Plez Mas win stage

 

[LeChuck]

Uran forgot how to Zubeldia

 

[Escarabajo]

Really, this what was expected. The two at the front were the stronger at this point.

Tour riders are dead!

 

[burning]

At least Movistar wins the biggest prize of all, the eluded team classification
