'Dale Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 With 90km to go the escapees have 4:03 on the Giant-Alpecin led peloton and they're about to hit the lumpiest part of the stage.
'Dale Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 There are three classified climbs today, two thirds and a fourth category. There is a very steep ramp at the finish too. It's going to be tough for the pure sprinters to make it through today but perhaps the likes of John Degenkolb and Alexander Kristoff can take their first stage win of this year's Tour.
'Dale Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 After getting a bit of respite from the heat yesterday when the rain came, it's another hot day on the Tour de France and the riders keep going back to the cars to get some ice to shove down their jerseys.
'Dale Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 A mechanical problem for Cyril Gautier and he's been forced to chase back onto the escape group. He's getting a little bit of help from the cars to make it back through.
Gen Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Nice tinkoff have come to help Giant[emoji122] [emoji122] [emoji122]
'Dale Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Gautier is finally back with the breakaway group. The effort was hot work and he's dumped the contents of one of his bidons on his head.
Gen Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 He needs a new pants. . .. like someone get him a pants.. pls pls
Sasquatch Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Was it just me or did someone scream at him the get the F$%k out of the way?
Gen Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 And nibbles had a mechanical and now rejoins in the 2e group
Gen Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Astana teammates dropped back to help nibbles and now the 2e group have bridged to the first group. Â PERAUD still trying to rejoin.. but is spending a lot of time by the dr's car...
Gen Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Oi.. they are going to have to put an age restriction on this stage.. if peraud wasn't circumcised before, he may be now.[emoji85]
'Dale Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Peraud is back at the medical car getting some attention for his wounds, but the road rash is fairly massive.Now Nibali has a puncture! His wheel change is pretty slow, and he's got the second half of the split peloton to jump into to chase back on.
