Carthy has shed loads of time...0
-
Almeida might regret sitting on Yates for as long as he did - might have caught Martin if he'd gone earlier (equally might have popped of course).0

Carthy shipped over 3 minutes. Vlasov gurning with Castrovejo behind him looking like he's been out for a coffee ride.3

Yeah... just lacking all the swagger he's shown until now...bobmcstuff said:

Bernal looked w@nkered staggering into the motorhome.0

Fantastic stage . Caruso is canny . Shame Hugh lost do much time . ... Bernal looked like he got the knock there"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0

Ulissi was 4th. Is that his best climbing performance?0

Biggest loser of the day, just finishing.

Dan Martin was class there. Old skool climbing"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0

Bernal was looking pasty long before it all kicked off I thought.0

Yes, he would be close to 4th now without his babysitting duties.kingstongraham said:By the way, ignore anything I previously said about Almeida

Almeida is sort of a zubeldia who failed to hide ."If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0

Martinez digging deep to make the split when Yates and Bernal first went has ended up saving Bernal quite a bit there2

Without that first bad day, he'd be within about a minute of Bernal now.mididoctors said:Almeida is sort of a zubeldia who failed to hide .

Bernal should probably have let Yates go. Suspect the time loss would have been minimal if he'd just tempoed up with DM.0
-
Bernal doesn't sound too upset in the interview.
Said the stage suited Yates better, he's happy as he only lost a couple of metres to Caruso etc., just needs to be careful etc.
When Martinez was shouting and gesticulating to try and motivate him it looked like he was a bit unhappy though...0 -
Yates (asked if he is stronger in the sun) "I think that's obvious... Every day it's rained I've had a bad day"
Poor showing from the Northern lad1 -
He's from Bury, that's midlands at best!0

Better bet than remco that's for surekingstongraham said:

For all Bernal's chirpiness, it's noticeable as Yates rode away that he was a bit twisted on the bike - crabbed over towards the left. Hopefully that's not a sign that he's struggling with his back.1

But I suppose you could say, that without Bernal's bad day, he wouldn't, so it kind of evens itself out.kingstongraham said:

Excellent stage, it's added some real spice to the race. Really hope Bernal isn't suffering a relapse of the back issue.
The big question for me is why did Caruso lead Bernal? Surely either sit in and follow or attack and put some time in? It's not like they were sharing the work, he was doing the most by far. Looks like a very conservative approach, more concerned with keeping 2nd than gaining time.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0 -

Well Caruso needs to peg Yates back otherwise he isn't going to win anyway. He may not have been able to attack.No_Ta_Doctor said:Excellent stage, it's added some real spice to the race. Really hope Bernal isn't suffering a relapse of the back issue.

But yes 2nd is probably very good for him, no?0 -
