'Dale Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Not too surprising to see Froome Dawg struggling up a wallHe's really well trained for the TT and the lower gradients where he can take yellow home Above all else, beautiful racing ????????
'Dale Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Think that was Day 51 in yellow for Chris #whitekenyan
dsw Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Interesting debate between the Aussie commentators whether Landa rode for himself or for the team. Personally I cannot see what he could have done to help Froome over the last 250 m.

dev null Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Still think Froome will be in yellow come Paris. His rivals need a huge buffer against him for the TT. Uran could spring a surprise. Aru will blow up next week, as will Bennett. Giro starting to take it's toll on NQ's legs. Meintjes looks like he is getting stronger. Bardet will be on the podium in Paris. My guess is: FroomeBardetUran

If he was successful he would have taken the bonus seconds off Aru.
Bonus Posted July 13, 2017 Author Posted July 13, 2017 Just saw Bonus and his wife waving the SA flag jumping up and down, great stuff!! That is really cool, well spotted. Hope he has his lumo green afro wig and his Borat mankini on whilst shouting into Froome Dawg's earHa! Cool. We've had a great day! We saw the race twice - once on a climb where we were under some trees and once again just after a sharp left turn in a village - that's where we had the helicopter circling over us. The two places were 3km apart thanks to todays route doubling back on itself, which is why I chose them :-) We've enjoyed the day. Before the riders came through the first time, one of the DDD vehicals saw our flags and stopped for a chat. They told us that SC was going to try something today. Was good to talk to them and they gave us a couple of goodies :-) We also got lots of goodies from the publicity caravan and of course we got to cheer for the various SA riders. It's actually very difficult to pick individuals out in a bunch at even a moderate speed. Sky were leading the pack both times they passed us and they looked rock steady. The first time I shouted for CF but the second time they were caning it and I just shouted for the team. Wendy spotted Main Cheese and RJVR and gave them a shout. I couldn't make out DI but he was in there somewhere. Interesting results. Not thrilled to see Aru in yellow but let's see what happens next . . . . cheers for spotting us guys! Edit: we're absolutely thrilled for Louis!
Pure Savage Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 To all the moaners and anti froomists going on about how boring this tour is, probably the most exciting tour in 10 years. Top 4 under 1 minute and none of them team mates. Going to be a fun tour. Will be interesting to see if jury "which is not French" give bardet the 20 second penalty they gave to Uran?

Pure Savage Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 I must say the commentary on the hub has been a lot more level headed common sense than almost anywhere on the internet! Kudos!! Will see what happens on Friday when all our tin foil hats arrive... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
