DJ84 Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Saxo and movistar might do they yea ol tom and jerry on froom, but I think porte will have fresh legs then... I hope that they can break Porte on the first section of the climb,Will then be damn interesting to see how Froome protects his lead especially if the teams work together like you say. Yep, its going to be riveting stuff...hopefully. So far no one has come up with a formula to beat Sky or Froome however stage 9 (also coincidently on a Sunday) has shown how it could be achieved...by attacking Sky early in the stage and not leaving it until the last climb. Teamwork between the various teams (Spanish speaking ones plus a one or 2 others like Garmin) might well be required. I'm nervous in anticipation, can you imagine how Froome and Sky must be feeling? I think Froome will be vulnerable and wont be able to just work his way back if Conto and Quintana can make a quick gap.Just hope Valverde doesn't miss the chance.Will surely make the last bit of the tour a lot more exciting.

Vetseun Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Froome really has a shitty riding styleJa terrible, but he will still kick my ass, shitty style and all.
SwissVan Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Froome really has a shitty riding style Hmmm shitty is a bit harsh, he looks uncomfortable imo....but hell its pretty effective

GaryvdM Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 What's up with Thomas Voeckler? Any reasons for his lack of performance?
'Dale Posted July 12, 2013 Author Posted July 12, 2013 Who said a flat stage is always monotonous?Throw in a crosswind and BOOM!
'Dale Posted July 12, 2013 Author Posted July 12, 2013 What happened to Kittel ....a crash ? Split peloton in the crosswinds.
Tankman Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Nice work by Cav. If you cant outsprint Kittel ... outfox him!
'Dale Posted July 12, 2013 Author Posted July 12, 2013 What happened to Kittel ....a crash ? Split peloton in the crosswinds.And OPQS applying pressure by charging the main bunch forward.
Jaco-fiets Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Hmmm shitty is a bit harsh, he looks uncomfortable imo....but hell its pretty effective Yes shitty is bit harsh! He looks stocky, uncomfortable and it looks like an "uneconomical" riding style. It sure works for him though
