JFKvsNixon Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 I can't help think that if Astana included Aru and Landa in their squad then Nibali's challenge would have been a lot stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Nibali needed to get off his backside and try harder though- he's shown in the last week that he can, so why couldn't he do it in the first fortnight? Oh sod, Quintana has caught up to Valverde and they're off with a proper gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzijlstra Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I don't think there is enough climb for them to do it, but it is certainly eciting! Need to know where Gesink is, is he still with Froomey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I find the live page handy for working out where people are in the attacks: http://www.letour.com/le-tour/2015/us/live/aso/ EDIT- and the answer is no, he's dropped back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzijlstra Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Yeah just seen that, hope he can keep his spot in the GC. Also beginning to root hard for Pinot, the man deserves a victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 There's a certain degree of madness on the course today isn't there? Streakers, flares, smoke canisters and ninja turtles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFKvsNixon Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 I think that Quintana will go all out for the stage win and the bonus seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 This is painful to watch. He's gained a minute and there's still nearly 3km to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WageSlave Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Quintana still needs a minute 30 with just under 3k left, Froome should be safe but it's certainly making for good TV. A stage win for Quintana and the 10 seconds win bonus could be huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the Netherlands Over a minute now, still think there is not enough road, but a mechanical or flat tyre could kill it here. ---------- Post added 25-07-2015 at 15:36 ---------- Bon jeu Thibaut Pinot! And massive ride by Quintana, if only he had had a better team in the early stages... ---------- Post added 25-07-2015 at 15:36 ---------- Btw, Froome looking good here as well, very calculated and still strong.
