Tour de France *Spoilers*

[Dogtrousers]

the best placed rider in the break is 19 min behind Nibbles.

That's Kwiatkowski. The best placed rider after him is Bakelants who is at 49

Couple of good descenders: indeed Kwiatek as mentioned above, but also Voeckler and Gallopin
And if they wouldn't drop the "lesser" climbers on the last climb (very unlikely, but still...) then Albasini, Keukeleire, Van Avermaet, Dumoulin and Reza are the fastest men

Cav in the team car!

Voeckler takes the Cat 3 Col des Ares ahead of Jose Serpa. I'm not watching the live pictures at the moment but I can easily picture him dragging his tongue over those cols for all he's worth.

Even if he takes the Portet d'Aspet as well, it will still leave him 20 points behind Nibali, in 4th place in the KOM classification.

Cav in the team car!

Maybe he's going to leap out at the line, grab a bike and sprint over for the win!

Kwiat now in virtual 7th on GC

The current time gap puts Kwiatkowski up to 7th in the virtual GC, but they'll need to increase it by another minute for him to overtake Peraud in 6th.

Snap!

They've done Portet D'Aspet, did you mean Port de Bales?

He's also at the bottom of an effin big HC climb, so I refuse to get excited.

(Gets excited)

Yeah, sorry. The big one, anyway, whatever it's called.

Serpa sort of half attacked it and Tommy was having none of it, throwing him a disgusted glance as he passed.

Or SMIDGAF Simon Gerrans

So the lower placed riders teams might have to step on the gas here?

 

[Crackle]

Interesting to see who'll chase. Ag2r have two in the break but Peraud threatened in 6th. Netapp and Belkin aren't there though.
