They needed to go the first climbRichN95. said:mididoctors said:Active stage for the win. Got the feeling a GC opportunity was missed but easier said than done
The last climb, while long, was only about 5%. It would have taken a lot of resources to try to fashion an opportunity. After yesterday the top riders were satisfied to take their gains to the rest day. It was only really an opportunity for the Martin types who were mostly off the radar.
It's stage 15. That's a stage 19/20 move.Twitter: @RichN951 -

I was thinking guys off the podium battle ... UAE positioned themselves but didn't have it . Thought the rest day looming might have encouraged something ... They all looked fried ..
Yeah I think the teams agree with you"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 -
I've just read this thread from start to finish and have no idea who won or what happened.0

MVDP set off from km0 and was caught. Breakaway eventually formed and Ciccone from Trek whittled down the others and rode solo. Ineos just rode steady and the other GC riders were happy with that. Hard day yesterday and climbs not steep enough today. Ciccone won the Mortirolo stage 3 yrs ago in appalling weather so today was prob better but just as hard. Hugh Carthy came 4th on the stagePross said:I've just read this thread from start to finish and have no idea who won or what happened.

I think I see MVDP’s thought process: I got everything up to 400m elevation covered - now what’s required for the 400-1500m climbs?0

There's a bit in the CSC documentary Overcoming where Jens Voigt attacks much to Bjarne Riis's despair. Riis says 'he's got ADHD for sure'. I think MDVP is the same. He's just easily bored. There's no thought process.Twitter: @RichN950 -
perhaps like Voigt MvDP has too much energy. Ah to be young and talented.0

MvdP is to blame for the repeated high stage speeds ..pretty much every break he started/created got to line even if without him . Encouraged others to get into moves"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.
