'Dale Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 For Contador, Nibali and Pinot there was at least some signs of improving form ahead of the Alps next week.
'Dale Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 A similar stage to the one we saw on this climb in 2011 where none of the GC favourites could really make the difference. It's advantage Froome though who gets through the stage and marks out all of his rivals.
'Dale Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Nibali is now back in the top ten while Movistar occupy third and fourth overall.
'Dale Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Attack attack attack but Froome survives I'm hoping it'll wear the Dawg down We're about halfway through the Tour now
'Dale Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Here's where we stand now on GC:Â 1 Christopher Froome (GBr) Team Sky 46:50:32 2 Tejay Van Garderen (USA) BMC Racing Team 0:02:52 3 Nairo Quintana (Col) Movistar Team 0:03:09 4 Alejandro Valverde (Spa) Movistar Team 0:03:58 5 Geraint Thomas (GBr) Team Sky 0:04:03 6 Alberto Contador (Spa) Tinkoff-Saxo 0:04:04 7 Robert Gesink (Ned) Team LottoNL-Jumbo 0:05:32 8 Tony Gallopin (Fra) Lotto Soudal 0:07:32 9 Vincenzo Nibali (Ita) Astana Pro Team 0:07:47 10 Bauke Mollema (Ned) Trek Factory Racing 0:08:02
isn Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Maincheese had to get combative. Coming back after a crash and still finish 5th is a task and a half. We can call some riders useless/jokes/incapable, but damn they doing it and achieving what we dreaming of or just watching. These guys are AMAZING in every sense of the word. They train hard and fight hard through all sorts of weather conditions crashes, silly crowds and don't even mention the comments of the media. The last mountain battle was just awesome. The riders were awesome. Salute to each one of them.
isn Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 I'm hoping it'll wear the Dawg down We're about halfway through the Tour nowWonder how the dawg will handle attack after attack if Porte and the back team should fall behind. Porte did great during that climb and attacks.
dev null Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Gutsy ride by Louis. Â To fall like that, pick yourself up and then get back to that group was well done. Â And then to come 5th after that.
scotty Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 I'm hoping it'll wear the Dawg downWe're about halfway through the Tour nowI'll take it one day at a time and should he falter expect the kickback which i know will be coming.Â
dev null Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 With that ride Louis jumped up to 52 in the GC, just a few seconds behind Ryder Hesjedal.
