Seriously, Froome's drinking game is an area of improvement.

I know you have cried a bit yesterday LaFlorecita.

A bit?? I was bawling my eyes out at the finish :lol:

So Angliru never was so tough and so long for you like it was yesterday.

The info gives this stage has 72,4 kilometres from the start to first pass of the finish line. Tour this year had 48 kilometres - big difference and in this case Tour is much better.

 

[Frankschleck]

Any one believe in modolo. He should be the fastest i guess.

I think I would have suffered less if I had climbed it myself!

Also, this stage is sooo long...

Karsten Kroon on Eurosport about Tinkov: "man oh man, what is wrong with that guy"

Tune in 24,4 kilometres later and you should be good.

Voodoo Coffee...

Poopgate all over again, wait for it.

Re:

What if they spiked that coffee :lol:

 

[LaFlorecita]

"How's that coffee, Chris?"

 

[RedheadDane]

Things going so slow they had to get coffee to stay awake?

The Int Sprint is too close to the finish line. It is only 30km away.
If Trentin goes for it, he won't have the legs to win the stage.
Cavendish often speaks about how tiring Int Sprints can be in the Tour (as a reason why, until 2011, he didn't go for them), and the Tour's sprints are generally not that close to the finish.

On the other hand, who will go for it? If Quick Step can control any attacks, I don't see any sprinter trying to snatch points. Only Trentin and Froome are in the fight for the points, so if Sky doesn't care for that classification, no one will get in his way.

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

Yeah but no one will contest it with him. why would they?

 

[wwabbit]

Haimar Zubeldia will win this bike race.

Froome got drunk, that coffee might save his Vuelta.

Re:

Did anyone know what happened to Aru in stage 20 TdF last year? Probably something similar.

Well Trentin is not a Cavendish type.
