Today is the Stage that I have been dreading.....

 

Last year, we rode up Col de la Croix as a hill climb TT between mates, and I was chuffed with my time (46mins).

 

Its going to be a sobering thing watching the real cyclists go up there in half the time :(

Have you done the Epic as well ????

What kind of abilities are you referring to? Something more than 'just' physical development presumably?

Wrong presumption, those would fall under quick gains.....

Kittel taken down in a fall???

 

Not sure is Kittel is injured yet...hope he is okay.

 

MM should take the 20 points in about 35km's and then only 9 points between MK and MM.

33 riders in the break with no SKY riders. They clearly have some sort of plan to try and tempo today all the way till the end.

All this talk of how Louis needs to change team first. The man first needs to show his worth. Once he does that the better teams will come for him. I remember when Pinot and Quintana started out, they made you take notice of them. Even Contador as a youngster, despite doping, made you take notice of them. Louis is not doing this I'm afraid. This last week will show us what Louis is made of and whether he'll end up with a bigger team ala Trek Segafredo or a similar level team like a Bahrain Merida for instance.

5min lead over peloton at the Base of the first HC climb... probably not enough...
