COMPLETE AND UTTER JOKE OF A RACE. COMPLETE WASTE OF MY TIME TO WATCH.
HUGE shame the race got smoked on Tues. Huge shame.Contador is the Greatest0 -
If Valverde has that power left why the hell wasn't he putting pressure on Froome and G lower down the hill? Quintana needs to give him a proper going over to show who is team leader now0

Valverde goes!

HUGE shame the race got smoked on Tues. Huge shame.
Contador clearly wiped out by Giro. Quintana not in form all season. Nibali a shell of the rider he was last year. If you want to be disappointed point a finger or two at those three major challengers and their preparations.0 -
What did the fans do to you? :shock:I've been watching this screen since 10.30. Absolutely zero reward for that dedication. F*ck the fans.0 -

Surprising to see the uniform weakness of the competition. Combination of bad form and complacency based on 2014 team? Not being able to shake G is the sign of a highly conservative race....a rare 100% loyal Pro Race poster. A poster boy for the community.0

Quintana is well overrated - won a giro with no competition his attacks are comical.0

Exciting finish. Froomey had it under control the whole time.
How can Chris Froome be so skinny and climb so well? How can Geraint Thomas not be skinny and climb so well?0 -

Not skinny? He's 6'1" and 10 stone.Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.0 -
Because it’s anaerobic power.If Valverde has that power left why the hell wasn't he putting pressure on Froome and G lower down the hill?
So what - as a supporter of his team leader he should be willing to blow himself up a few k down the hill if it might allow NanoQ to gap Froome. Note how the tour winners "spend" their team-mates (horrible phrase) to put pressure on the other riders - whilst the strongest Movistar sidekick is really riding for himself rather than for team-leader then they will struggle and the only way they will win is pure solo brilliance by NanoQ. Frankly I don't think he has quite enough - but with Valverde actually working for him then it would be a closer race0 -
We are down at 3/10 for this Tour. Shocking stuff. And I even had Jakob in front to cheer at throughout the day.0

Sorry, just reacting to the twitter/other forum folk who are aghast at Thomas being able to climb while roughly the same height as the TJVG and Pierre Rolland.0 -

I thought they all tried. Quintana just doesn't have much of an attack. Valverde couldn't go too hard in case Quintana couldn't follow. Nibali tried. Contador tried, but is impotent right now.
Ultimately no gaps, but I thought it was exciting while they were trying.0 -
Rumour has it that G is free to be claimed as a "my man".
He's been cut from someone's squad of 236 men.
Anybody want him?
Yes, that stage was as damp as the weather, but there were signs that the fat lady isn't even in auditorium, yet."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
today was a bit boring until final climb. with the great first week and 7/10.
Froome is the strongest and most prepared.0 -
Days like this to give you goosebumps.
Contador is the Greatest0
