Frosty Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 Louis said he's not focusing on the white jersey, but I wonder what will happen if he finds himself in a position where it becomes a reality. Then, on another topic: Matt Keenan and Robbie McEwan said "that rider" they can't talk about... Armstrong. They were referring to spectator's actions resulting in a crash. Seems stupid to ignore everything from that era, however tainted it may be. Some exciting attacks happened as well as some hairy moments.
ZakAttak Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 I'm impressed at Yates performance, pity I didn't pick him...
Bianchisti Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 Louis said he's not focusing on the white jerseyHe said that about 3 times in as many minutes. Not that easy to NOT think about it.

Dan The ManLove that attitude..go Dan-The-ManBefore the start of Le Grande Boucle (and during the Dauphine) I had said that I wasn't convinced that Dan could be a contender. I am very happy to be wrong! He has been impressive this year. I hope he can continue this form all the way to Paris! Sent from my GT-S6790 using Tapatalk

Gen Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Think Mr Vroome will wait til Thursday... And then we'll all sit waiting for his power data up Mont Ventoux so that we can engage in a bit of Groundhog Day! Looking at the profile for Thursday, I don't think the run in to Ventoux is hard enough.. I don't think we'll see a major sort out, maybe a little one... or maybe Froome goes and gets another minute or 2, he has become quit unpredictable, it's left us all and his competitors with a case of 'koppie krap'

Having driven up it and around it on a quick day trip up to Grenoble, I can tell you it is impressive in person and flat for miles and miles around
