Tour de France 2016 **SPOILERS**

Oooh, Yates, hanging very close to the back.

Could Yates get yellow here?

 

[HF2300]

Frank Schleck - haven't seen much of him ... for years, really.

 

[HF2300]

Could Yates get yellow here?

He's in yellow on the road, but to actually get it he'd have to stay well placed over the Peyresourde and down to the finish.

 

[jarlrmai]

I forgot there was another climb!

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Yay! ITV4 time!

 

[HF2300]

Judging by that denial of the KoM to Majka I suspect we're going to see Froome into yellow over the Peyresourde

 

[jarlrmai]

Maybe glue the tyres properly on next time...

Anyway, thought you were on holiday?

Can't resist checking in for occasional Tour updates. Just have to be sneaky and do it when my wife isn't looking.

5.5km from the top of the Peyresourde. All breakaways roped in on the previous climbs. Group of 25 or so including Froome, Quintana, Contador, Aru, Yates, Majka, Barguil. Sky with 4 riders on the front looking strong. Majka in KoM but denied the points by Froome on the previous climb. Pouwels just dropped off so Froome has 3 in support.

Starting to get a bit lively

 

[jarlrmai]

It went uphill and now the skinny lads are winning.

Froome goes Q stays with.

 

[Crackle]

This is good

 

[jarlrmai]

early weakness tests passed by all the big names.

 

[HF2300]

Yates is going to have to watch that group doesn't split.
