X-Man Posted July 12, 2013 Share 'Berto's back,...and he's coming,... Hard!. But the question ... Did Saxo give too much today? Hope they left enough gas in the tank for tomorrow and Sunday. Sure was great seeing Berto turning on the gas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaco-fiets Posted July 12, 2013 Share I missed the stage and highlights. Seems Contador took time out of Froome on a flat stage. Who would have thought? Reckon there will be some surprises come the Alps.................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtr1 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Awesome gutter riding today! That's tougher than a mountain stage. Saxo were fantastic when they split the field with 30 k's to go. Had 6 riders in front group of 14. Race on !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vetseun Posted July 12, 2013 Share You can count on Ten Dam to fight till the end. He is a tough customer. Here is a photo of him in the 2011 tour: And some people say that cycling is a sissie sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotSoBigBen Posted July 13, 2013 Share Just wondering if our man Chris maybe shouldn't have taken or at least kept the yellow so early in the race ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissVan Posted July 13, 2013 Share 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 Omega Pharma) might well be required. I told u so.... I told u so....just got the stage wrongMajor test coming up for Sky and Froome, did Saxo burn their matches??Time will tell SyncSA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splat Posted July 13, 2013 Share I don't know if this has been discussed yet, but does anyone else think that Cavendish has lost his edge? I mean, he left Sky last year in a big huff because their green jersey aspirations didn't match his, so here he is with a whole team dedicated to him and he doesn't seem to be doing any better. Are the other just better? Or has the whole team and lead-out not reached full potential yet? Your thoughts? Perhaps I spoke too soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zook Posted July 13, 2013 Share Contador served up a tactical masterclass. I love it when they do things I would never have thought of. SyncSA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyOldGuy Posted July 13, 2013 Share But the question ... Did Saxo give too much today? Hope they left enough gas in the tank for tomorrow and Sunday. Sure was great seeing Berto turning on the gas! Yah, hope so, but Berto is an old tour campaigner, he has seen it all before so I dont think he will make that mistake, today is a stage for the breakaway, so my guess is you wont see 'Berto or Saxo the whole day, unless he sees a chance for more time they will have an active rest day.
