Tour de France 2016 **SPOILERS**

[HF2300]

No need, I suppose.

And they're under the Flamme Rouge...

Kittel complained about Cav. Will it stand?

 

[Crackle]

oooh, that could be contested.

 

[HF2300]

I don't know, looked to me as though they both veered a bit but not enough to be penalised.

 

[coffeejo]

Find out after the break.

 

[HF2300]

Sagan thereabouts again. 3rd or 4th? Kristoff second, it looked.

I think Kittel was done as whathisname said - kittel more annoyed that Cavendish had played him

Yep, Kittel was already beaten.

 

[coffeejo]

Millar certainly thinks so. Emphatically.

 

[Crackle]

Pleased to see Degenkolb back challenging.

 

[smutchin]

Cav giving it the full Abdoujaparov there. Can't see them taking it off him though. Etixx cocked it up again.

 

[psmiffy]

why doesnt the lead out man just stay where he is and block Cav rather than peeling off dramatically

 

[HF2300]

Pleased to see Degenkolb back challenging.

Yes, absolutely.

 

[HF2300]

why doesnt the lead out man just stay where he is and block Cav rather than peeling off dramatically

Because the leadout man's used all his energy up leading out and peels off as he's flagging and slowing down. He'd block everyone including his own man, not to mention that he'd be penalised for it.
