tombeej Posted May 27, 2014 Share i wonder if they changed to cyclecross bikes as well, with some wider tires and better brakes One of the reasons why there's resistance in the pro peloton for disc brakes on road bikes is that if some teams have them and others don't, then there will be big differences in braking distances, which means more crashes. Similar for CX bikes with wider tyres. If a guy with disc brakes suddenly stops, the guy behind him with rim brakes will go straight into the back of him. I'm guessing it would be even worse on a stage like today. So either everyone stays on road bikes, or everyone changes together to CX bikes.

'Dale Posted May 27, 2014 Share Riders are all over the place at the moment with Evans and Pozzovivo in a group that appears to be distant from the peloton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted May 27, 2014 Share :-( We think that Basso has been dropped on the last climb and is really suffering on the cold conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted May 27, 2014 Share Pellizotti currently has 1'15 over the maglia rosa group but an AG2R rider is about to join him. In fact there are now four riders in the lead with Cataldo being one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombeej Posted May 27, 2014 Share False alarm about Quintana being sick. He's confirmed today that he's fully recovered from his bronchitis in the second week. That twitter reference must have been about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted May 27, 2014 Share Dupont is in the second group so Pozzovivo has a man in each of the two groups up the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted May 27, 2014 Share As back with the maglia rosa group Movistar assume control with six riders on the front and Quintana tucked in from the wind. Evans has two men with him, AG2R are represented but it's hard to pick out the Omega riders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
