I'm sure he'd like it just to be him v nairo on the last climb, plus sky showed at the tour they are happy to let the break get a massive lead so nairo can't get any help from the riders out in the break0 -

Can't give it a massive lead because Moreno is only 4:44 behind Froome.0 -
hot down there today, that's a extra 50 watts for the Dawg.0

On the subject of Carlton's drivel - anyone emailed Eurosport complaining about the quality of the commentary? Perhaps if they were inundated with Carlton is dire emails they might sit up and listen0

I does explain why he's so good at it.
Maybe I haven't been paying enough attention but I didn't know that his brother is a production designer, with some decent credits too.0 -
Why do they have to talk all the time? They should watch some Richie Benaud commentary.0

the time gaps were all over the pace, it was just over 3 and a half minutes then at the top of the climb it jumped up to 6 minutes0

Yep being very generous to Movistar who are just sitting in the break. They'll be sod all use to Chaves when they're caught.0 -
Is it ok for a Domestique to carry the water bottles of their Leader? Froomey could get Lopez or whoever to carry his bottles saving Froome the weight of carrying the 2 bidons over the first 3 climbs. That weight must tally up at the end of a stage. Must be against regs.“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving”- Albert Einstein
