Tour de France Stage 12 - Alpe d'Huez - SPOILERS
One of the greatest climbs in the Tour. Probably some bigger time differences today.

Definitely. Third day in Alps, not an easy task. I rode Alp d Huez 4-5 times and it is really hard. But millions people around the road can help

Should play a major factor for the rest of the tour. Hopefully someone has enough in the tank to put in a successful attack on Sky to make things interesting for the remaining stages.

Sprinters and their lead-out men are dropping fast. Yesterday it was Cav, Renshaw, and Kittel. Already today it's Greipel, Zabel, and Groenewegen. The remaining sprint stages may well be a toss-up for Gaviria and Sagan.

Pleas explain to me how people think that Sagan is such a bad bike racer?

Sprinters dropping out left and right, donestiques falling by the wayside, and Sagan just keeps chugging along, hanging in.

Let’s not ignore that Craddock continues to hang in and is no longer finishing last or just inside the time cuts.

Interesting days.

He can still make a lot of money riding the track in winter. He is a big-name rider who is an actual crowd draw for six-day events and he has serious track chops.

It will be interesting to see what he does. His own personal motivation is key. Does he wish to keep riding or does he wish to be a father and be home more?

Hell of a ride so far by Kruijswik.

Think he will stay away? Or did he burn too much on the CdF?
