chasing points...ha ha!

he is on 339, AKristoff is in second, on 129.

to catch up to sags he needs 210 more points and there is

6 realistic intermediate sprints - 120 points

3 sprint finishes - 150 points.

 

the only way anyone else will win this is with a combination of

Are there any KOM points up for grabs today?

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.....  :cursing:  :thumbdown:

 

Looks like a scene from Apocalypse Now

KOM competition is very tight... not a lot of points today but every point will count.

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 ?

There is something wrong with the time cuts at this TDF. Taramae didnt make the time cut and he can climb.

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.

Personally I'm glad Tommy D is up there fighting it out with Sky, as this means that unless he is doping the results of Froome (Seen as they both did the Giro) can be trusted and we are moving into a cleaner sport. 

 

But i suppose the hater won't see it that way.  :ph34r:

I am in your boat...

 

Do we need tin foil hats or does the other boat?

Katusha and Soudal only have 4 riders each... At least lots of space on the bus and own room in the hotel.

It wasn't the time cut. He was suffering from back pain - nor sure if it was a crash or not...

Perhaps time for a few breakaway attempts from de Gendt?
