'Dale Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 ???????????? Vincenzo Nibali has been dropped from the group of GC favourites.
'Dale Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Pinot and Majka lead the peloton by 30 seconds. Pinot's old domestique Arnold Jeannesson is in between with Tony Martin. Nibali is 25 seconds behind the GC group Van Avermaet is 2 minutes in arrears
Frosty Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Groupon Compacto after 25 kms (See what I did there?) [emoji85]that's kinda special
'Dale Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Has the maillot jaune ever failed to make cut-off? ????
'Dale Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 The leaders are half-way up the 19km Tourmalet, which gets steeper nearer the top.
'Dale Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Pinot and Majka have opened up a lead of 1:25 over the main bunch.
'Dale Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Tony Martin, possible launch pad for Martin or Alaphillipe, joins the two leaders 1:50 ahead
'Dale Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 GvA will be hurting after two crazy big efforts on the two previous stages ????
'Dale Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Alaphilippe can't help but look to his right as he ploughs on. This is his first Tour de France and he's soaking in the breathtaking views here. 1:40 behind the main bunch
'Dale Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 And it's Pinot who takes the summit, comfortably getting the better of Majka. Are we seeing another Pinot resurgence here? Tony Martin wasn't bothered but he should regain contact on the descent.
Frosty Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 I don't see the Maincheese in the peloton, but there is a LM rider with Alaphilippe. I hope he isn't trying to mark a rider that might not be the biggest white jersey contender.
