Well shur if you wanted an exciting sport to mimic it would have be F1.....

retalivity · 25-07-2018 2:54pm

Quintana with a mechanical... Not like he'll do bugger all anyway

CrowdedHouse · 25-07-2018 2:55pm

I know everything is done for them but you'd think a pro would be able to change a front wheel at least.

eagle eye · 25-07-2018 2:56pm

Gotta be Yates today with that gap.

Eamonnator · 25-07-2018 3:23pm

Any word from Tejay van Garderen?

TheBlaaMan · 25-07-2018 3:26pm

Thomas leading Froome up the second climb........no real doubt about who is going to be given the rein to go for it
Latour is absolutely emptying himself......he'll be lucky to finish!

dastardly00 · 25-07-2018 3:27pm

Interesting that no one from Sky took any musettes (from their guy in the high-vis t-shirt)

retalivity · 25-07-2018 3:27pm

Ag2r have used naesen, dillier now letour to up the pace. They have dropped only rowe from sky, the other 6 are still there.

I don't know what to make of their tactics. It seems Froome goes for it and Thomas sits on Dumoulin's wheel. If Dumoulin makes it back up to Froome then Thomas has his measure every time.

Eamonnator · 25-07-2018 3:38pm

Sagan down?

eagle eye · 25-07-2018 3:39pm

Hope he is ok, it'd be horrible he couldn't finish the tour.

eagle eye · 25-07-2018 3:53pm

Go Quintana!!!

TheBlaaMan · 25-07-2018 3:55pm

Pop goes the taffy....

Wheelsucking froome ðŸ˜‚ðŸ˜‚

It's allowed, after all it is a race.

neris · 25-07-2018 4:01pm

Kruiswick giving Bernal an earful

Eamonnator · 25-07-2018 4:01pm

It's not a popularity contest

dastardly00 · 25-07-2018 4:03pm

Egan Bernal... some prospect

irishrover99 · 25-07-2018 4:03pm

Poels arrives back. Time for a can of coke maybe?

Poels has made more comebacks than Lazarus

check_six · 25-07-2018 4:08pm

Dan is still going well out in front of the GC group according to the tracker

Lazarus only made one, but it was a big one

He needs to get to Quintana and Majka in the next few minutes so they can share some of the work otherwise he will run out of steam

Ha! Very true

A big one? "Marginal" comebacks are where it's at nowadays.

His gap of 15-20 seconds has held steady to those two lads for a good while. Closing it too quick could spell disaster too.

dastardly00 · 25-07-2018 4:14pm

Come on Dan!!

griffin100 · 25-07-2018 4:18pm

Dan looking good. Hopefully non of the top 3 will make an attack until the last couple of km, otherwise I fear Dan could be caught.

dastardly00 · 25-07-2018 4:21pm

Froome at the rear of the main group... but that doesn't mean anything because it's Froome!

retalivity · 25-07-2018 4:22pm

Bye bye bardet
