'Dale Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 47km remaining from 115.5km Petilli leads over the Côte de Peille, but Contador is almost in contact with the leaders as crests the summit in fifth place. The gap to Henao at the top is 40 seconds, while Dan Martin is a minute down.
'Dale Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 40km remaining from 115.5km There are 14 riders in the Contador group at the head of the race: Contador, De Marchi, Colbrelli, De Gendt, De La Cruz, Soler, Edet, Matthews, Ulissi, Petilli, Calmejane, Chavanel, Jeannesson and El Fares.

'Dale Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Pantanoooo Mixing it up in the chase Soft pedalling I'm sure ????
'Dale Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 36km remaining from 115.5km Contador et al have around 14 kilometres of descending to come before the road starts to climb again on the Col d'Eze (7.7km at 5.7%). From the summit of that final climb, it's 15-kilomete drop to the finish in Nice.
Mntboy Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Contador group has some good riders in there and Matthews and Ulisi seem to be riding well too. Matthews I reckon is using this as a training ride for MSR. Sent from my SM-J200H using Tapatalk

'Dale Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 23km remaining from 115.5km Contador has expended a lot of energy in this leading group, he doesn't seem to be sparing himself for the Col d'Eze. 41 seconds the gap as the climb begins.

Mntboy Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 22 kms Gap slowly rising again Berto with pain etched face And the group splinters as he dances in front What an attack ????????Bert's pace is cracking a few people out the two lead groups. Sergio's gotta do this on his own as his team mates has popped. This Soler looks a good one. Sent from my SM-J200H using Tapatalk
