Froome's ruthless, he's not going to "support" Thomas, only let Thomas soften up the rest and ride their wheels. Recall the end of the Vuelta last year where he sprinted for the Green jersey or the Dauphine when he attacked simply to scupper Richie Porte's chances.

disappointed how easily sky put this one away. hats off to nieve and dumoulin for giving it a go.
looks more and more like cav is completely finished - wonder how much longer he'll go for. |

As for the race today. Dan Martin is the man. If that guy could put together 3 weeks of good luck, I'm pretty sure he could finish top 3 at the tour. Good for Tom Dumoulin too, nice to see that some riders still have guts and don't roll over when team Sky gets into battle formation.

The race is for second place, again.
Great things to watch per stage, but it's pretty conclusive Froome will win another. |

Maybe tomorrow we see Froome and Thomas finish hand in hand on Alpe D'Huez, ala Lemond/Hinault.

I really thought Nieve had that one in the bag. The poor little guy just cracked. I love Dan Martin's fighting Irish spirit but it might not have been the best thing to drag Froome up there. In the end though it paid off for him jumping all the way up to 10th on GC. My prediction, if Martin hangs in there he's got 3rd over all.

For what it's worth, I was expecting (hoping for) more from Landa. I wanted him to stick it to his old team -- like Nieve tried to do.

Movistar had the best chance to liven this race up... The peloton pushed to bridge Valverde, and that was the perfect moment for Quintana to take off.. Maybe he's waiting for Alp d'Huez... He just sat in that group and lost anoter casual .40 seconds on Froome and Sky. He's the biggest let down to me.. |

I guess I'm just losing interest in bike racing because it's all rather boring to me.
Tacky orca shirts always in the front. You can't compare Froome and Thomas to Greg and the Badger. Now that was a feud. Unless he gets hit with a bucket of pee or someone sticks a hypodermic needle in his arse we all know who's going to win. I did enjoy the scenery today though. |

What a troubling thing to watch.
Was kind of hoping the charade would last a little bit longer...ah well. Cycling will never learn. |

I thought it was a wonderful stage to watch. Lots of great strategy for stage and GC.
Sky showed they weren't worried at all about Valverde going from so far out. And Lawson Cradduck finished before the cutoff. Jeff Last edited by jlwdm; 07-18-2018 at 02:29 PM. |
