Tour de France 2016 **SPOILERS**

Yes, there are others. Teejay, Valverde for instance.
Do you think Yates is strong enough to podium?

Hmmm, maybe!

 

[Dave Davenport]

He's a prick.
He supposed to be fighting for the GC and instead he flunks out and gets a childish strop because he doesn't like the way they're not pandering to his 'roolz' of engagement in the break.
If he ends up winning the KOM it will be akin to Wigan winning the FA Cup while being relegated. Twat.

Sergio Henao is showing that he can be a GC contender I think. He's doing pretty well even as a domestique, imagine if he was being protected.

Whilst all around him dance around like headless chickens, the silent assin stalks his prey and waits for his moment.

Quintana...

If Quintana had it he'd have showed his hand today. Psychological advantage would have been his if he'd beaten Froome to the finish.

Ass a sin? Not a judgement on sexual preference just a epihany that all the word needs is a couple of spaces.

Last year he smashed Froome on stages 19 & 20 but lost time in the first week. This year he hasn't lost time in the first week.

He's 23 seconds down. Not a massive time gap agreed but hardly in s comfortable position. I stand by what i said, if he had it he'd have shown it today.

 

[jarlrmai]

He made up big time last year in the hills, but he lost it in that wind early on.

 

[Crackle]

There are still two weeks to go, two tt's, Ventoux and a host of climbs, I don't think we've seen either Froome or Quintana give everything yet and Quintana on past form has been strongest in the third week, as jerry Anderson said, anything can happen in the next two weeks.

 

[Crandoggler]

Froome looks like he's going to stroll through this. Quintana looked utterly lost when Froome attacked downhill and showed nothing more today. He won't withstand a proper break from Froome in my opinion.

But who knows.

 

[beastie]

I'm not sure if Quintana was on the limit today or if he is playing a canny long game. He didn't look like he was enjoy in the last climb.
He will almost certainly lose time on the rolling TT so I think he will wish to gain time when he can.
It was great to see Dan Martin and Adam Yates up at the sharp end.
