Not sure why he didn't try going with them. Try to win instead of try to protect 2nd.

Fair point -- no legs or inattention -- now it just looks desperate.

Well done to Plaza never thought he'd get anywhere near the finish on his own.

180 kms solo for Plaza is a massive effort -- there have been a few long-range wins with Oliveira on stage 13 and yesterday on stage 19 Gougeard.

When they say it was a team effort, it's normally so second-hand -- but today it was a team effort with an exclamation mark for AST -- dominant effort -- went perfectly to plan!

Dumoulin looks convincing but it will be all hands on deck tomorrow for Astana. Not many teammates for Dumoulin tomorrow. |

I think if Majka would of contributed a bit more in his group he could of got 2nd...

118 kms to go for Plaza, that was, my apologies.

Slight tear in the eye watching Dumoulin i/view I have to say.

Dumoulin had deserved a better team, with 1 teammate assisting he would have closed the gap of 12", not sure what would have happened on the last climb, but at least he would have defended top 3 I suppose.
I hope Landa can win a GT with SKY doing better than Porte. |

I do hope ex pro Dan Lloyd managed to cash out/ lay off as he had £20 e/way on Betfair Sportsbook Domoulin @ 500s!

They've already done the first climb and we have: Break of 10 out front --- Huge group of 25 chasers including Zeits and LL Sanchez @ 46 seconds --- Giant-led peloton @ 6 mins 32 So it looks like Aru's tactics will be for Landa to attack with Aru in the wheel on the steep ramps of the second climb of the Morcuera then bridge over to Zeits and Sanchez in the break/chasing group. This could be a decent plan they've hatched here. Just watched it. Didn't find out result in advance but feel totally gutted for TD. Astana handed Giant a lesson in tactics there. And TD just didn't quite have enough. |

Starting to really dislike Astana. And Tinkoff.
