Chris "cadence" Froome

electric motor malfunction
|
|
By:
Just looked like he had to unclip for some reason.
|
|
By:
Nibali is a bum!
 |
|
By:
froome up to 1,20 for GC. Gotto take some of that
|
|
By:
Nibali will increase his lead on the descent, currently about 20 secs.
|
|
By:
Nibali over 1km to go before the top
|
|
By:
How long does Nibali get before Valverde starts chasing him down?
|
|
By:
If this was the Mollard I would say Nibali looks good, but he will still have the Mollard and working by himself I think he is suspect.
|
|
By:
Quintana looks a good thing here.
|
|
By:
He nearly went odds-on there, Nibali.
|
|
By:
Froome sprints for KOM points
|
|
By:
Market showing too much faith in Nibali, I make him 3.5 at best so around 2.0 he is a big lay.
|
|
By:
Tricky descent...
|
|
By:
That's how long CJ...

By:
Not sure what Valverde is doing? Is Quintana struggling to keep the wheel?
|
|
By:
Quintana looks okay.
|
|
By:
...Keeping Froome's wheel, that is.
|
|
By:
Quintana looks great, think I'm going to get a monster payout here.
|
|
By:
Pinot rejoins on the descent
|
|
By:
Did Froome just give Valverde a clip round the ear then?
|
|
By:
Nibali will look to consolidate on the Mollard, it's 5.7kms at 6.8%, and if he keeps any sort of gap he will increase it on the long descent. Will need Rolland on the climb though, I believe. Has he looked like a beast on the climbs in this race? No. Can he win from here on good sensations? Yes. Will he?
|
|
By:
Probably if Nibali blows past Rolland than he is on good sensations and thinks he doesn't need Rolland's assistance -- makes him a more dangerous proposition -- but if he has to bury-mode on the final climb it might come back to hurt him in not using Rolland's assistance earlier. Locked in at 50 secs for Nibali, so if he is relying on the descent, than that's an issue, also. Nothing is jumping out, is it?
|
|
By:
Rolland pulling a big gear.
|
|
By:
Meanwhile Quintana has been in an armchair and will likely drop the hammer on the final climb. But for what? 2nd or 3rd place?
|
|
By:
Class by Nibali this.
|
|
By:
Class being 7+ min down so no one chases..still good effort
|
|
By:
Every chance Nibali gives this stage to Rolland.
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
If Froome or Rolland don't win this then I've made a packet.
|
|
By:
Bardet would be halfway across to Nibali/Rolland if it wasn't for this mechanical.
|
|
By:
Final climb 18kms at 6.1% -- that's a lot of climbing.
|
|
By:
Nibali on good sensations -- defending Tour champion is looking to defend on at least one significant mountain stage. Small advantage for him, now. Just gone odds-on.
|
|
By:
Can anyone catch Nibali, I'm not so sure.
|
|
By:
Don't think Nibali has enough if the GC boys go. Depends how good he is I guess though.
Bardet back in the group after a bike change. |
|
By:
1.50 secs for Nibali and Rolland on the start of the final 18 km climb.
|
|
By:
Kruijswijk gonna ride to defend Gesink's position on GC?
|
|
By:
Contador changes to his "climbing" bike
|
|
By:
Something dodgy going on at Tinkoff with these bike changes!
