Gotta feel the love for Froome with no mention that it was he who initiated the attack with the other GC contenders following.

Kudos to the videographers. The slow-mo shots definitely give the video a very cinematic feel to it. The colour profile is also very unique. I really enjoy Katusha Media's videos. Quality stuff!

2 big mountain stages to go... I think Yates is going to fall apart and Froome is going to ride onto the podium. Tom for the win.

 

I am not so sure that Yates is going to fall apart... tomorrow and Saturday's climbs should suit his punchy style of riding more . 

 

Froome is slowly beginning to find form and I think he has at least one big attack left in him...and he will certainly go for it.... but he is probably too far behind to win. 

 

I do not think Dumoulin has it in him to drop any of the true climbers over the next 2 days while Pozzovivo will probably just try and hang in and hope to make the podium.

 

So i think it is up to Chris Froome to spice things up.

 

My prediction for what it is worth:

 

1. Yates

2. Dumoulin

3. Froome.

Looking forward to last 2 stages..this is now where we will see if Yates spend to much and can hang on.He is young and will be feeling the heat big time!

I think he is going to loose this one..the big question will be can TD follow Froome when he goes...

We saw that he can even after he made his own big effort yesterday

Today should be good.

 

Today should be nail biting.

It could all be decided today but let's see what happens.

 

With Yates fading yesterday it boosted the other GC contenders BIG time.

Now they going to go after Yates.

 

BUT

 

If Yates managers to dish out some punishment today then the other GC contenders spirits will be broken again.

 

What a build up to the finale.......

Two days of glorious mountains. Yates on the back foot (maybe), Tommy D feeling confident (maybe), PozzyV hoping for bronze and Froome I don't really know 3 and a bit minutes is a long time - he has to go big today!

Yates looked shell shocked in his post race interview

 

Tummy D looks potent as week 3 moves on and will feel confident

 

The battle for the 3rd step between Pozzo and Froome Dawg is one glorious battle

 

Gonna be good

You've said it.  Love this GT to bits and love the aggressive racing - so much better than the TdF.

 

I must agree with you...has been my feeling the last few years...BUT can not wait for TDF to start again this year...LOL.

Looking forward to the next 2 days...Yates will hang on nail and teeth to the other contenders today and tomorrow, I am sure...I think he got a real fright yesterday...the Chef's "UP'ed" the meal intake and they will boost him with GU's and snacks the whole day to ensure correct levels in his body...the other GC guys WILL take him on today that is for sure...

 

Today and tomorrow will show what Yates has in him...

 

I would not mind if Tom takes it though...

Can someone just take over my daughter-in-law/sister-in-law duties today..I would really like to watch this very important stage.

 

Can someone also direct me to a psychologist or a good bottle store..I may need to buy in bulk..[emoji23][emoji23]
