dracs Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Break could succeed today with the cat 2 & cat 3 climbs so look for Voeckler, Rolland or Pinot to have a go. I think the favourites will sit back and wait for tomorrow.Yes - Pinot! Now you're talking jcza 1

jcza Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Sky has no incentive to get EBH into yellow tonite. Their mission is clear, Froome to win the tour and everyone else will do as they are told to achieve this. Cant see starting in yellow tomorrow being part of the plan.

Cant see starting in yellow tomorrow being part of the plan.I agree - BUTÂ Froome's approach with his team is different to Wiggo. If the chance arises he will be keen for other guys to get some glory I reckon - builds team morale and loyalty...

GrumpyOldGuy Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 I have a feeling we might be surprised with Contador's form come the mountains. Really hope Froome can keep his wheel and hand out some pain. Can't wait for a epic battle. I hope it is brutal Yeah, I think 'Berto is nursing some brilliant form but I dont expect we will see much of it yet, last week he will come out and it will be make or break time. He is not going to ride for second, thats for sure so now he will just limit his losses and save his energy - or at least thats my opinion, usually however I am completely wrong though.
eeeek Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Seems Orica were happy to let the break succeed, Cannondale not so much. Think Sagan has this one earmarked.
