Gen Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 We're gong to be at the race tomorrow :-) Sabinanigo is about 40km west of our house. We'll be in Sabinanigo for the sign on etc, then we'll catch them as they pass Sabinanigo a second time after 25 odd km's. They then head east towards Fiscal - which is as close as they get to our house, about 20km from us here. When they head east out of Sabinanigo we will head north to be ready for them somewhere near Biescas. We did think about going straight to the finish and waiting for the day but we've decided we want to see it all more than just once. We're driving to Sabinanigo but taking and MTB each so we can get around a bit or even park outside town and ride in if necessary. Look out for our SA flags - we'll have a big one each. Will try to take some pics but I'm not the worlds best photographer. . . . And take a good note of the roads they're riding - when you guys come visit us for road riding sometime these are all the sort of roads you'll be road riding on!!Awesome Bonus enjoy..
Mntboy Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 This guy also had a great ride today! Brilliant by Yates. There was a moment or two where I thought he might catch Gesink. Absolutely wonderful racing today! Sent from my GT-S6790 using Tapatalk

kosmonooit Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Interesting fact I only learnt of recently: the Basque language has no relation to any other European language, all of which are the Indo-European family. It's thought to be an ancient language of local European origins, before the 'others' came across from the East. So its also a totally unique culture. Many basques speak French of Spanish as well.

Mntboy Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Both these Yates bros are showing up so wellAnd they're still Young Rider Category I do wonder when, if, the Skyborgs will pick one/them upWell they are with Orica for another 2 years iirc. So maybe some point after that. Also Froome is still strong and has at least another four to five years as a GC contender left. If all of that will be with Sky is another story altogether. Also Sky has Landa and Poels who are guys who can race for GC too. So it'll be weird too see both Yates boys in Sky colors until Sky decide to move on from who they have currently. Plenty that could happen. Content to enjoy what is. Sent from my GT-S6790 using Tapatalk

Pah Bear Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Geewiz. Look like Froome is riding to make sure he looses no more time and waiting for the inevitable TT. So far NQ has not been able to shake him. He looks in good form.
Bonus Posted September 4, 2016 Author Posted September 4, 2016 Just bought my T-Shirt, Cap and bits goodie bag :-) 10€
'Dale Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Big question Will Froome Dawg be able to achieve a unique double ????????
