The Bull Shark Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Think it will be one of the GC riders today going for the win. Too much climbing in the last 50 km of the race.
Davey_Jones Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Love the revamp of the official site race center
Vetplant Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Love the revamp of the official site race centerYep, good timing to get the nice one active for today, seeing as some of us have to work while this excitement is going on.
Pah Bear Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Think it will be one of the GC riders today going for the win. Too much climbing in the last 50 km of the race.Agree. Looks like Sky not giving the break much of a lead. And ... CF was pretty coy yesterday when asked if he plans to attack.
Pah Bear Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Yep, good timing to get the nice one active for today, seeing as some of us have to work while this excitement is going on.You should retire for the time of the Tour, then extend it for the Vuelta. Or, start even earlier and begin at the time of the Giro. LOL
Pah Bear Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Admit to a degree of disappointment when I learnt that Liggett and Sherwen were not doing the commentary, nostalgia and all seeing as Phil really introduced me to Le Tour. Know the common view that they’ve been messing up rider names etc over time and was true to some degree. But now I think Keenan and McEwen is doing a dang sparkling job and admit they’ve grown on me. Enjoying the alternative view.
Imploder Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Fugslang riding with fractures in his wrist and elbow?! Today is gonna hurt like a Mofo! I hope Contador gives it a go today....Go from long range on the Port De Bales!
worriesnot Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Ha! Matthews took the intermediate sprint from Kittel!Was very close...
Vetplant Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Ha! Matthews took the intermediate sprint from Kittel!Was very close...Yep, but Kittel only 3 points behind in terms of earnings on that sprint. Kittel is going to take at least two more sprint stages, which gives him 20 points on whoever finishes 2nd and 30 points over whoever finishes 3rd... I would not be betting against Kittel taking Green in Paris. However, stranger things have happened in this Tour, so Matthews would be the obvious heir to the jersey, which is maybe why he is taking these points when he can, in case Kittel doesn't make it to ParisÂ
JScottP Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Just saw Bonus and his wife waving the SA flag jumping up and down, great stuff!!

Looked like he could just curl up and sleep.

The Bull Shark Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 At least Ulissi and Gautier is in the break to support Meintjes and Bardet. Expect a big move from Bardet today to go for yellow on the downhill after the last big climb.
Vetplant Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Kittel Dropped on the Cat 1 climb by the break Good move to go with the break, bought himself some time on the main bunch to ensure he makes the cut today
