Re:

Leaving Poels, Nieve and Moscon...one of them is allways strong enough to stay with Froome. Poels seems to be the man for the 3rd week again.
Moscon and Rosa might be on the decline.

Re:

Aru should put the tempo for MAL

Aru is still almost a minute ahead so I doubt he'll be convinced to do that

I guess that's correct, loads of downhill sections here and there!

The stage profile in OP does resemble thei Eiger north facel though.

 

[Simurgh]

Froome's bluffing

 

[the_cutter]

I count 6 Sky riders in the main group, 'tis a failure.

Re:

Maybe skybots can try and drop him themselves.

The machine gone rogue haha

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Group with Yates, Bardet, Kruijswijk and Majka some 45s behind the leader Armee

Looking good Romain!

 

[wouterkaas]

Nibali about to get dropped.



Antonio Nibali

 

[portugal11]

The tempo is really slow in the peloton.

 

[skippo12]

Next Skybot done. Lopez is barely hanging on the group.

Still 3kms to go....

This climb is greater than the sum of its parts.

It's the anti Plateau de Beille or Etna

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Boring peloton, no action..

 

[Climbing]

Ah easy to spot Nibali today, white shirt, he's young... inside! (I know it's not youth classification) :lol:
