Beginners error Just keep watching me, rich and FM and you'll soon pick it up Deep knowledge of the peloton and all that...

Chapeau...

 

[Crackle]

Oooof, Santambragio 2 mins back. Didn't expect that today.

 

[smutchin]

Uran is quite a tidy sprinter.. wonder if he might nick this.

edit: Or maybe Evans is more likely.

 

[Crackle]

I somehow missed that group of three get away.

 

[smutchin]

Great stuff. That was more like a one-day classic than a GT stage.

Me too!

 

[kedab]

haha! top sneakiness and top celebration by the movistar rider - I enjoyed that - even with the French comms, which is all I could get to stream properly

 

[ColinJ]

Any chance of Cav staying with this for the sprint?

Er ...







NO!

 

[Pedrosanchezo]

Cav has worked extremely hard for every one of his stage wins. They haven't come easy at all. Viviani and Bouhanni ran him close in the early flat stages and for him to have even been in contention at the finale on Friday's stage is mind-blowingly impressive.

100% agree but if they all give 100% effort Cav will still win. These guys aren't letting Cav win. They are giving all they have and losing. Sagan might be able to steal the odd stage from Cav, even at his best. Cav tweeted as much himself............

which is why bouhanni was chucking his toys out of his pram on a couple occasions - which I heartily enjoyed seeing

+1. Oddly enough i have not taken to that man.

Enjoyed that a lot. Nice steep climb, and a wicked fast descent. I was hoping that Duarte might lead it over the top and then hammer down the other side, but he hasn't quite got the strength. The only thing it's really done to the GC is put a little more distance between the Top 3 and the rest, with Santambrogio losing so much.

enjoyed it too... shows hes a top competitor to react to a loss like that

i'd agree with you on that - there'd be something amiss if he wasn't fussed but like pedro', I also haven't taken to him.

Jeez Sanchez fair knows how to ride downhill doesn't he? I could watch him descend all day.
