Bonus Posted September 1, 2016 Author Posted September 1, 2016 Just tuning in now. Is that LM I see in the break with two Sky riders?
Gen Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 Gap is still at 2min, Movistar controlling it.. Mmm.. I wonder is LLS will finally get his stage win. Meantime in the break Meintjes is working just enough to not get yelled at [emoji6]
Rocket-Boy Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 Is it just me or are thses stages way more interestingly thought out than recent TDF years. Makes for better racing....but then, I've always preferred the Giro and Vuelta to the TDF!TdF will always be my favourite, its the race that first got me interested in road cycling and its like an old comfy armchair, it just feels right.I battle to watch some of the other tours due to not seeing the usual riders doing their usual things.Does any of that make sense?

Not the same guys always star, but that is where you see the up and coming. Remember Chaves last year? Wow.

Wow.Its nice to see the other riders getting a chance to shine too.Always interesting to see how and where riders are peaking in their training too.Guys who were invincible in one tour are suddenly not quite there in another tour, keeps it interesting.
Gen Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 Well situation is pretty much u changed..gap at 2'38, 51.6km to go.. The only thing that happened in the last hour was a touch of wheels in the peloton.. happened quite close to the front so no gaps because of it.
Gen Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 Aand as I say that the pace is lifted in the chase as Astana start coming to the front
Gen Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 Meintjes and Brambilla are leading them. Peloton aren't far behind.. gap down to 1'44"
Gen Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 Meintjes pedalling okay.. doesn't look as if he is struggling at all
