Ban of radios and powermeters would be perfect...

A Sky ban would be better.

Everyone is really just playing into Team Sky's plan

I get more worried for Contador based on the amount of teeth he shows. Still 10km to go. Hope he has some energy left in the tank.

Money is playing into Team Sky's hands.

A walk in the park...

 

[DNP-Old]

This is so boring.

Those guys who hope to get that precious podium have to do something, right?

Sometimes it looks like there is a small gap between the Sky guy (Nieve?) and Froome, as if Froome struggling to keep his wheel.

It's an old track trick .

What else should they do? Do you think not attacking will break froome

Re:

It won't be the last try today, more altitude is coming. He looked comfortable. This is not over yet.

Nibs caught....at least he had the B*lls to try!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Only 45s now. Calculation

 

[portugal11]

When froome attacks... no one will follow

Re: Re:

this is sick of yates, he would have won the vuelta if he had ridden like this every day.

Yeah, and Majka would have won if he had ridden like he did yesterday everyday. Surely the only reason he is riding like this relative to everyone else, is because he has been taking rest days on most of the mountain stages in the last week.

This is much better than majka yesterday

Yes. But It would not look that superb if he spent 150km in the break working

Yates is going to win this. The guys need to work with Bertie...

Nibali saved energy and was smart enough not to blow up. No rider in the world can attack the sky train on this typ of climb. Wide roads and a steady gradient of 6%. It is hopeless for him without anyone interested to go with him.
Kelderman and Zakarin are even more boring than Froome...hanging on and hoping for a top 3 GC place. I wonder what happened to Zakarin after the Giro...he was really agressive in italy.

Why, the 400w train pulls them and it's impossible to stau away from..nibali showed why it's pointless

 

[Forever The Best]

Nibali should have attacked in Monachil.

there was no 400w train in Italy. That's why Zakarin could attack. It's really simple actually. Surprisingly nobody wants to understand.

Is there something more disgusting as Froome staring at his computer every 2 seconds?

 

[bob.a.feet]

Froome sits so upright compared to everyone else. Doesn't look good aesthetically

Yes, his fishnet bibshorts.

I think that's what Nibali's attack was designed to do. It was never going to put Sky under serious pressure, it was just to force them to up the pace a bit and control the gap to Lopez and Contador.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Gap going down. Skymcan easily close this
