andydude Posted July 19, 2016 Share I just hope there are many attacks on team Sky over the next four days....dont care who the attacks come from.Like Valverde said, it's difficult to attack when Sky paces at the maximum speed anybody can climb. It's a good tactic, albeit a bit boring to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mntboy Posted July 19, 2016 Share Tomorrow's pain cave..... http://www.letour.fr/PHOTOS/TDF/2016/1700/PROFIL.pngA double chance for Nervous Niaro to attack the Froome IF he actually plans too. It's going to be a very interesting day and as a plus the GC battle could see to it that the break stays away!

Mntboy Posted July 19, 2016 Share Like Valverde said, it's difficult to attack when Sky paces at the maximum speed anybody can climb. It's a good tactic, albeit a bit boring to watch.Well it's won them three TdF's and several other big deal stage races so yes an effective strategy but it is massively helped by the class of the rider's who is responsible for executing it. On other teams Landa and Gee would definitely be serious opponents! Sent from my GT-S6790 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyMartin Posted July 19, 2016 Share Sky have been hurt on occasion. At the moment it's total dominance. It's not just the strength of the team. It's the composition. Everyone is in for a reason. Everyone has a role. No one going for individual glory. Domestiques rotated to rest them. All very clever. They have also been quite fortunate. It just takes one big crash to take out two riders for example and the balance of power shifts. What has really helped this year is Froomes confidence and relaxed mental state. That coupled with great form is tough to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andydude Posted July 19, 2016 Share According to cyclingnews http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/tour-de-france-movistar-seek-alliance-with-astana-to-take-on-froome/ there might be a chance Movistar and Astana team up. In my opinion, they have to try and break Sky before the last climb. Go hard right from the first climb. Sky likes to pace, because they have trained like that and they know exactly where their threshold is. Try to eliminate them through the whole stage. No use waiting for the last climb with 3 or 4 Skyborgs protecting Froome. If somehow Movistar and Astana form an alliance, it would definitely make it very interesting. And remember, Froome has never been his absolute best in the third week while other riders actually excel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted July 19, 2016 Share “I’m happy I’ve been able to climb with the best. It’s so nice when the hard work pays off, and now I’m looking to the third week and hoping that we can improve on the 12th place.” Louis ????????
