Can someone also put this in the post of the tour thread, please. It's pretty difficult to do on a phone.Team My Man 2018: David gaudu, Pierre Latour, Romain Bardet, Thibaut pinot, Alexandre Geniez, Florian Senechal, Warren Barguil, Benoit Cosnefroy0 -
Damn - but TJvG looks ill and on the very edge. I reckon DS asking him the awful question now "Do you want to abandon?"0
-
No matter what you think of Bertie - he does look good climbing. I wonder how many movistar and sky got dropped from chasers with that move
First time in this Tour he's looked "skippy" rather than "stompy". He's looked laboured on every climb until now to my eyes.0 -
So Bert attacked when some Sky riders were having a nature break? What would you expect from one so classless.
BMC car slowing with TJ, looks like he could be getting in.0 -
Blowing the race to pieces. Guys getting shelled behind.
Yes, we recognise that from when Froome did it last week

Ah yes, but using Mick Rogers to set up your attack and having two guys in the front group to bridge up to is ok though?"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Maybe these shelled riders took a punt that Sky would "tempo" back up to Contador and then keep things steady, so that there was no need follow Contador immediately.0
poor guy
