splat Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 I got home yesterday, just before the start of the climb up the Alpe. What a stunning finish to the stage. Cycling was the winner here, the top GC contenders fighting for a win on one of the most iconic stages. Pity Nibs was "eliminated" by a fan, he would have added more fuel to the fire. Just a pity the "fans" was/is so ill disciplined. They should throw each and every fool that sets of a flare, off the side of the mountain. Imagine the impact on the riders, at the limit, at high altitude and already fighting for breath, and then to inhale that pungent smoke..... Looks like a scene from Apocalypse Now Borat guy about to be taken down

SwissVan Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 I see they used rope barricades at Dutch corner. I wounder is that something they can do along the whole climbs. My wife always points out how it is men who are behaving like idjits on the stages. Maybe the authorities should only allow men onto the mountain who are accompanied by there mother, wife or girlfriend ?

ScottCM Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 Dumoulin, Sunweb say they’ve found Team Sky’s weakness “Yeah, I learned they try to keep both in GC and don’t ride behind each other, and Froome had the chance to attack and G [Thomas] didn’t. So, that’s good to know for the future,” Dumoulin said. https://www.velonews.com/2018/07/tour-de-france/dumoulin-sunweb-say-theyve-found-team-skys-weakness_472687
Pure Savage Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 There is something wrong with the time cuts at this TDF. Taramae didnt make the time cut and he can climb.

But i suppose the hater won't see it that way.

Pure Savage Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 Katusha and Soudal only have 4 riders each... At least lots of space on the bus and own room in the hotel.
Eldron Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 There is something wrong with the time cuts at this TDF. Taramae didnt make the time cut and he can climb.It wasn't the time cut. He was suffering from back pain - nor sure if it was a crash or not...
jimmycool Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 Katusha and Soudal only have 4 riders each... At least lots of space on the bus and own room in the hotel.Perhaps time for a few breakaway attempts from de Gendt?
Gen Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 Aaaw.. I have seen pics of these little ones a few times during the tour. https://twitter.com/BORAhansgrohe/status/1020263577016561665?s=19 Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
