Frosty Posted July 11, 2016 Share Holy moly https://youtu.be/qgwXGo4wimYi did that at the Amashova last year, except I had to stop at the water point to get 8 bottles of water and 8 bananas. I could barely pedal with all the stuff in my shirt, and my fellow buddy batch teammates had to slow down and push me back to the main group. Edit: I wonder if Andre got his "water" Edited July 11, 2016 by geraldm24 Gen and tombeej 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMartin Posted July 11, 2016 Share For tomorrow's stage I have this weird vision of Froome attacking over the climb and then riding the next 170km solo in that weird position he used on Saturday. tombeej and Bonus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombeej Posted July 11, 2016 Share For tomorrow's stage I have this weird vision of Froome attacking over the climb and then riding the next 170km solo in that weird position he used on Saturday.I've been picturing what a descent like that one tomorrow must be like: basically non-stop for 60km and dropping 2 vertical kilometres in altitude. 60km should be nearly an hour of solid descending, eish. It must start getting pretty uncomfortable after a while, trying to hold the tuck for so long. Might even start wishing for a bit of climbing relief.

mazambaan Posted July 12, 2016 Share Adam Hansen is impressive and likable - interesting clip somewhere about what he packs in his bags and his shoes. tombeej 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen Posted July 12, 2016 Share Firstly, to earn the descent: a looong warm up on the rollers THEN22-23 kms at about 5.5% gradient That'll be interesting ????I reckon there are a few rider that will fancy their chances today.. If Cummings finds himself in the break and they stay away.. he will be licking his lips. But I reckon a lot of riders will be gunning to get into the break, Sagan (has to go fetch points) and Alaphilippe will also be eyeing the break.

HappyMartin Posted July 12, 2016 Share Tibet border to Kathmandu. 5000m to 1800m. I think it's just over 150km. Been a dream. tombeej, Kranswurm and Vaalhaai 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen Posted July 12, 2016 Share if Cav plans on staying to Paris he will have to really follow Sagan around, but I don't know he really really battled with the first climbs of the last 2 stages.. maybe the rest day would've helped him a bit.
