nochain Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 ... hey.. I protest. Where is the penalty where is the expulsion.. Nibbles would've been sent packing if it was him hey. https://twitter.com/CyclingHubTV/status/753876376655171584Total joke!!!It's because of this that I think Porte and Bauke are the big losers..They were in the process of making up time on all the riders ahead of them except Froome.Quintana was clearly on a bad day and that might not be the case next week....Who knows how bad it could have been for him.
Tubehunter Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 With 13 riders in at the finish, this is the leading time for today: 1.GOUGEARD A. ALM in 54' 37'' Bodnar is lighting up some of the intermediate splits, so should take that soon and Rohan Dennis started 12 mins ago. We should see some times once these are through!

HappyMartin Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Papi is starting to irritate meDunno Gen. It's not nice, it's not honest but at least it's a bit of character. Up to now we have seen more character from google self driving cars than from Quintana.
Tubehunter Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 New leader: (22 through the finish so far) 1.BODNAR M. TNK in 52' 47'' Rohan Dennis through first split though and he's on fire!
Tubehunter Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 exactly....Bauke was the loser....and the reason this doesnt sit so lekker with me...but onwards and upwards....praaaaaaaaaaaap But he got his finish time and his advantage over the riders he had dropped. If anything, he could argue to get the time adjusted for the fall and that would be fair. You were suggesting earlier that Froome and Porte get their times as it stood with them coming over the line. How is that fair given all the context? BM was not even leading the trio at that time!
Tubehunter Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Looks like it could be a sub 50 min win time today! Wonder how deep the field will go before they challenge Rohan's time if his run continues without any issues! He's taken over 2 mins off Bodnar at the halfway split! Edit: Halfway split is erratic and has not picked up Bodnar and 10 others, hence him not showing in the top 5 there.... Next split will be the one that shows the indicative time to beat!
Cadre Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 I really enjoy reading some well founded arguments, agreement and disagreements here.I am also happy sense prevailed and the slate is level and clean again. For a brief moment, has anyone considered the consequences from Sponsors/Investors if the provisional decision to leave Froome in 5th was maintained status quo in the tribunal/commisaires meeting? I do not think we have an idea of the exorbitant amounts involved in running this race. But hell, I love it, Drama et al.
Tubehunter Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 55 have started and 135 still scheduled to go! 26 riders at the finish so far.
Tubehunter Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Top 5 at the finish with 28 riders in: Stage classification1.BODNAR M. TNK in 52' 47'' 2.GOUGEARD A. ALM in 54' 37'' at 1' 50''3.BREEN V. FVC in 55' 26'' at 2' 39''4.GATTO O. TNK in 56' 05'' at 3' 18''5.ERVITI I. MOV in 56' 23'' at 3' 36''
Tubehunter Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Dennis up 35 seconds on Bodnar through the last split which is 9.5kays from the finish. Looks like sub 50 will be tough today!
dev null Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 ... hey.. I protest. Where is the penalty where is the expulsion.. Nibbles would've been sent packing if it was him hey. https://twitter.com/CyclingHubTV/status/753876376655171584 Sneaky bugger. He thought everybody was looking at the Froome fiasco.
Tubehunter Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Cummings through 1st split and closest to Dennis. 22secs off Rohan through there!
Vetplant Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Is Dennis considered to be a good TT rider? Thus a good indicator for the possible win time?
Tubehunter Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Cancellara on the course now. Roughly 10 mins till he goes through the first split....
