Jaco Steyn Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 I actually chuckled a bit when Alberto Contador came in, and the commentator said "El Pistolero is firing blanks........"
'Dale Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Very excited Uran climbing up the GC ladderAnd threatening the podium ????
dev null Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Watch out for Fugelsang. He is peeking at the right time, and looks much stronger at the moment than Aru. This is going to cause some interesting conflict in the Astana camp, especially after Aru's conduct today.
Pah Bear Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Sure some of you guys remember, in the Crit when they road that same descent, it was CF kicking Richie and Aru in the teeth and the only thing that prevented them getting dropped was Fugelsang chasing CF down and dragging them on. In that race, to me it was already obvious Porte was sketchy on that down. CF's chase on the down today highlighted Porte's lack of downhill finesse.

Only the descent brought him back into it.
Pah Bear Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Fugelsang sprinting for the line at the end with Aru floundering behind was a bit confusing. In the end the result of the finish worked out well for Sky. None of the big contenders got any time on CF.
dev null Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 http://www.velonews.com/2017/07/news/froome-anxious-hear-arus-explanation-attack_443231 Aru is not making many friends at the moment. I think he is in for some hurt if his team does not protect him. Astana seems to make enemies wherever they go.

Pah Bear Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Uran winning on a "single speed". Chapeau to him for giving it all.

gummibear Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 BMC Racing team officials released a statement confirming Richie Porte has suffered a fractured clavicle and pelvis according to X-rays conducted at Centre Hopitalier Metropole Savoie in Chambéry, France following a horrific, race-ending stage 9 crash at the Tour de France on Sunday. #TDF2017

NotSoBigBen Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Sorry to say chaps and especially to the younger guys but you expect 'gentlemanly behaviour' from today's society? Yes I know I'm getting old (er) and more cynical by the day but that is my general observation ... Every man for himself it appears! Those who believe in upholding traditions are few and far between, behold the 'it's a bike race not a fun ride' type comments Sent from my LG-D958 using Tapatalk
coppi Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 NQ is also out of wheel sucking form.........................
