isn Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Peloton not even bothered by the 6'+ gap. Lol. I'm sure they just eyeballing each other in that pack.
T-Bob Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Things aren't great over at Astana.... "“This day was a catastrophe. Nibali couldn’t even keep the pace with Fuglsang, which I had expected him to,” a clearly disappointed Alexandre Vinokourov said to Gazzetta dello Sport immediately after the stage. “We gave the green light to Jakob to go ahead in the classification. Vincenzo needs a good mechanic because something is broken in his head." Fuglsang is actually behind Nibali in the overall standings, sitting in 13th at just over eight minutes back.

Eugene Oppelt Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 If this break can make it to the finish Rafal Majka is certainly the favourite to take the victory. Majka won two stages of last year's Tour and went onto claim the mountains classification. He's been pretty quite this year but you still can't count him out.
Eugene Oppelt Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Serge Pauwels could also be a serious threat from this break. The Belgian, who moved to MTN-Qhubeka for this season, finished 14th in yesterday's summit finish. He's never won a Grand Tour stage though.
Plentipotential Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Vincenzo needs a good mechanic because something is broken in his head." That's extremely rich coming from Vinokourov.
Eugene Oppelt Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Dan Martin is putting in a huge effort on the Aspin and he's now just 58 seconds behind the leaders. Can he make it across before they reach the top? He's got 5km to do it.
Eugene Oppelt Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Démare has put in a good effort to make it this far but he's now struggling to keep in touch with this break group. He's more a sprinter so this is not his terrain.
Eugene Oppelt Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 74km remaining from 188km Martin doesn't even slow down as he passes Demare, who seems in good spirits despite being distanced. Martin can see the leaders.
Eugene Oppelt Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Superb racing from the Irishman Martin brings the number of riders in the leading group back to 7 as he finally makes touch. What a great effort from him to do that. They have a 7:08 advantage on the peloton.
Eugene Oppelt Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Bardet has been dropped and he's back with the gruppetto. He was on the attack early today but this has not been a good Tour de France for the young Frenchman.
Eugene Oppelt Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 *getting on a plane soon to Jozi* AaaarrgghWill miss the action
isn Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 2 mtners rode into each other[emoji85]Who? Are they out or back in?
Eugene Oppelt Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 At the front of the peloton all seems calm with BMC and Sky setting the pace.
