The Bull Shark Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 I think Yates will blow big tomorrow. Already predicted NQ was going to blow big today. Martin and Contador also tired and about to blow. I just hope Meintjes don't blow also.
nochain Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Was a bit frustrated there for a bit but I think Louis was maxed out also.Was a amazing performance from the guy if you think that almost all of the riders with him at that stage has been on the podium of a grand tour.Some serious riders he is fighting.Think we will see more from him tomorrow.
alleyne Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Great win by the Slovenian and fully deserved!Nice to see that beautiful Bianchì rolling in first too......... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That bike and kit though, they just don't work,
kosmonooit Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Monsieur le President has joined in on the France 2 post-chat - he sure talks a lot!
Mudsimus Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 That bike and kit though, they just don't work,Bianchi doesnt give a hoot about the colour of your kit.
shaper Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Great ride for Louis today, steady and gained good time... Yates is looking tired !!
Patchelicious Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Good days racing. Louis was a bit more aggressive which was good too. Uran's "dark horse" status is quickly turning into "main rival" couldn't happen to a better guy!
The Bull Shark Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Game On on the Col d'Izoard tomorrow. Between Froome, Bardet and Uran. It might just be Uran. Crowds will be hectic on the pass.
Bub Marley Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 How many minutes would you estimate Louis needs over Yates going into the TT? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
Vetplant Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 How many minutes would you estimate Louis needs over Yates going into the TT? . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ProVery rough estimate can be made if you look at the TT on day 1. Louis gave up 35s over 14km. This coming TT is 22km, so proportionality he could lose around 50s to him. But there is allot of difference between that first stage and this one, so almost impossible to predict. This stage actually has some climbing, where the first one was flat, which should be better for Louis. Maybe Louis has more left in the legs than Yates. We can't know. Safe to say though that Louis probably needs to be ahead of Yates before the TT starts to having a chance. Much the same story between Froome and Bardet. Bardet needs to be ahead to have a shot. Uran on the other hand might just surprise everyone if he is close enough after tomorrow. You've got to love this year's Tour. So much up in the air until the very end

Pure Savage Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Things that were amazing today, Uran, that oke, I have flash backs of him 2 years ago in TDF when he was blown out the group when it was still 30 people in the group. Good to see he has brought his legs from the Giro to le Tour. Yates showing fatigue in week 3 like last year, time for the Maincheese to get his UAE team to turn up the heat first thing tomorrow. If push comes to shove I think he should even give it a go on the Izoard. I doubt Froome/Uran/Bardet would chase with him 6 minutes back. Only person who would cover would be Yates. Its 10km of up, plenty of KM to lose time. Contador - Today was seen huffing and puffing on a asthma pump on the stage, Its not even TUEsday. Yes his attack was cute, much like when savage attack. Kudo's for giving it a go, but I do not think the YJ group blinked an eye lid.
seanp Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Most exciting TDF in a long time.... So stoked for Uran. What a class rider. #silentassassinLoving it. Upset there's only 3 days left. What we going to be doing once it's done. Suppose it's just fair the rider's get a chance to properly recover before the Vuelta comes along. Some of the rider's look totally spent. Here's hoping for a great last few days racing
Bonus Posted July 19, 2017 Author Posted July 19, 2017 I didn't see the Kittel crash when it happened . . . . I see Cummings and RJVR both suffered too https://youtu.be/b-UlIwqydGo
