Mntboy Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 Remember it is La Course today..coverage from 10:30 (if I remember correctly) Sent from my SM-G950F using TapatalkVan Vleuten FTW imho. Her form is excellent. Comes into it with loads of confidence because of winning the Giro Rosa. Not saying everyone's racing for second though. Just hard to see anyone else winning it. If AMP is racing I'd say she's a good pick for a podium. Sent from my SM-J200H using Tapatalk

Sent from my SM-G950F using TapatalkYeah it'd be interesting to see if Anna's weekend away at Vallnord has any influence on her riding. A lot of the XCO racers made mention of how hard the racing was not just due to the techyness (not a word I know) of the WC course but also because of the altitude. Anna always a threat in any race she enters. Sent from my SM-J200H using Tapatalk

Who can give me a quick run down on Le Tour so far ?Pretty much same as last year Porte crashed out on stage 9....again. Kittel and Cav are crap Gaviria, Groenewegen and Sagan 2 stage wins each D Martin won on the Mur, then crashed the next day.. but he is cool. And John Degenkolb won the Roubaix stage..and everyone is very happy for him[emoji173] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Slowbee Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 valverde, yates, are they looking good ? froomie looking like he might do something interesting at all ? With the mountain stages comging are we expecting any fireworks?
SwissVan Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 It's in the capacity of the rim to get rid of the heat and the breaking style of the rider. Steep descent with lots of corners are the worst cos you brake many times and hard. Have been there on the descent of Rio's olympic course, even with normal tyre and tube had a front wheel blowout,, took ten minutes to change the tube( thats 2 to change and 8 to fetch some water from a stream so that me and my buddy could actuallt touch the rim again)I wonder how hot disc brakes will get, especially the brake fluid... on such descents where there is a lot of hard braking for long periods Fizzzzzz... fizzzz bubbly bubbbly boil fizzzz

Slowbee Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 Do those guys in the top 10 look like they might do something over the next few days? Is Nibbles marking froome with the time being so close ? And Quintana is 2 minutes down, is he looking flat or just saving his legs ?

Kittel taking lots of flack about his "attitude ".
