2014 Tour De France

[Frosty]

One things for certain, Tony Gallopin's other half is better looking than some significant others

So basically they rode along while Astana had to do all the chasing. Got it. Thanks

Astana weren't really interested in closing them down.. more.. a case of.. let a other team take over defending duties for a bit..

Podium for Spartacus :thumbup:

To write at the at the bottom of his palmares? I wonder if he was instructed to sprint. Team Trek must be a getting a bit desperate for results. With the Schlecks not looking like winning anything, Cancellara was their best chance for a stage win, but here is not a lot of stages left for him to target, except the TT. That is also going to be a tough ask, TT route looks undulating, should advantage riders like Conto.

Nibs and Co kept their powder dry

Looking at Tony Martin's today i wonder if Fabian will even make the TT podium.Hope he is saving himself for the TT and gets a win.

Quite a risky move letting the yellow go, thinking you can take it back tomorrow.

I dont doubt the yellow will switch hands tomorrow, the question is to whom I guess! Gonna be interesting!

With a difficult stage coming up.. letting the yellow go was a good move by them. . Now up to a couple other teams to work and chase a bit and Nibs can follow.

Still has a lot of power in those legs.

Seems to me that since you don't ever see an OPQ rider with a baseball cap on (we always see them wearing cycling caps), they must have some sort of team policy about it. Personally, I really appreciate that nod to tradition, and I know 'Dale does too.

 

It would be a serious pity if the traditional cycling cap ('casquette') goes the way of the dinosaur like the merino wool jersey did.

 

Well done OPQ

I still don't think Martin or Cancella will be on the ITT podium. Not with that parcours. I'm sure Contador will beat them comfortably.
