Tour de France 2018 **SPOILERS**

[Milzy]

I’m not impressed with team sky and their tactics at all today.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Nibali FTW

There's something impressive about doing the bloody obvious and to hell with all of you, isn't there?

Or do I mean depressive?

Well it’s old Postal tactics

 

[smutchin]

Sounds like Uran is in trouble.

 

[Milzy]

In what way?

I've not seen it but I've seen the internet coverage. They've got a man in the break, and the break will probably get reeled in. And if it doesn't nothing is lost as there are no real contenders out there. That's how I "see" it. But of course, I haven't seen it.

You’d think Froome would start the assault today. They are way too far back. Quick step kicking their butts.

 

[Milzy]

Brailsford will leave it too late this year if they’re not careful.

Yeh dogtrousers is right. It’s too early and next two days have MTF. Too much holiday sun and beer. Sky will hold. Alaphillipe FTW

Don’t want JA to win but he looks absolute class today.

 

[Crackle]

Nothing was going to kick off in the GT battle until this next descent or the final climb

 

[smutchin]

Alaphilippe is 14 minutes down on GC so this ride is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. Hugely impressive though.

Yeah, Sky don't want the win bonus in play or too many GC contenders blown out on a descent finish because that invites Bardet and Nibali to attack over the top. Or Martin

 

[smutchin]

Dropped by the peloton according to letour.fr

Yeah, he got dropped on the Romme but got back on, and then got dropped again near the summit of the Colombiere. He's clearly suffering.

 

[ozboz]

That was impressive from the Frenchman ....
Very impressive !!

 

[smutchin]

Great ride by GVA too. He's obviously enjoying being in yellow.
